Hi Loopers, Regarding the 'loop alone' subject, I have found that it is difficult for non-loopers to understand the concept of looping at first. Once they get it, you're ok, if they are competent players. For example, i have been trying to get some drummers to wear a earpiece that gets a click feed from me (the looper). I have my JamMan hooked into a Boss DR-770 (set to a click pattern). Once I close my loop, the click starts in sync with the loop. Once i shut off my loop, the click stops and we are back into normal play. I have yet to accomplish this 100%, but i am almost there with my current band. The problem usually is in the drummer's attitude. I am essentially telling him that he is the tempo keeper, until we hit a section where a loop is, and then he has to follow the click. When that section ends, he is the tempo keeper again. Asking drummers (especially amateur or semi-pro) to follow a click is a tall order! Like you're insulting their playing or something...But to the audience, it would be seamless. rich At 03:06 PM 1/24/00 -0800, you wrote: >ILOOPALONE > >---------- >>From: "David Potter" <papadave55@hotmail.com> >>To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com >>Subject: Re: hi all >>Date: Mon, Jan 24, 2000, 6:41 AM >> > >> I find the more I loop the less I like to play with non-loop smart >people. >> They get in the way.
