"things" vs. programs

[Morgan Lang <mhl21@columbia.edu>]

Hi, all:

Would anyone care to respond as to why the majority of subscribers to this
list seem to prefer looping devices rather than computer programs? Is it 
the
"live"ness of being able to record and improvise with no intermediary cut 
'n'
paste or "loop point" edits? 

Thanks,

Morgan Hamilton Lang.
