When I was 14 I told my mother that "most people have cottage cheese between their ears," and this remains an unaltered statement to this day. So we're back to Frank, Einstein, and stupidity theory... Yep, we're all capable of it... > Anyone on this list who says they've never encountered this kind of >thing is either in sheer denial, or has never played for an uncontrolled >audience. So check your teflon jackets, kids - No denial... it's one thing to receive criticism / review from the unwashed masses. Sure... there's sometimes amazingly caustic remarks made... On this LIST though, I'd say I'll use bandwith as I choose to try and make sense of other posters remarks... There were some harsh, dismissive comments, and for the most part... the replies to that have been kindly guiding the discussion back to something constructive. I appreciate the fact that Mark has expanded on his criticism to DISCUSS his reasoning a little. It's nice to know that he may actually aspire to becoming part of a friendly community here. The bonus is that he's actually OT and discussing LOOPING. Imagine that... > the rebuttals to Mark's flame have taken up more bandwidth than the >original flame itself - to say nothing of personal bandwidth used in even >contemplating such uninformed and uncontrolled foolishness. When some says our loops are shite... we're ON TOPIC. This warrants further discussion. I wanna know what criterea people are judging with. I'm also interested in possibly hearing examples of Mark's techniques or at least values which led him to his conclusions... > Let's all go play some of our own music, and forget all of this. Yep... we had a great looper jam just this sunday. But forget... NOT. I wanna know... -Miko
