If you want to get really swirly, put a phaser in the feedback loop. Bring delay returns up to their own channel(s) on the desk and use the aux sends to control feedback, then its use the desk's eq to provide filtering as you describe. Hours of endless fun playing the desk, don't even need a signal source... -----Original Message----- From: whiteoakstudios [mailto:whiteoakstudios@supanet.com] Sent: 05 January 2001 07:51 To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Re: looping tips and tricks 2001 Another suggestion. The way I work is I 'trap' a sound for as long as I want it to run by having the feedback path set at unity. This is under the control of a footpedal. When I want to let the loop die away I ease back on the pedal according to how slowly I want the loop to die away, (I use this method to quieten the loop if necessary too). What I've found is that introducing a gentle low pass filter into this loop makes the dying loop sound more natural and de-focusses it in terms of the listener's attention. An interesting effect is to place a high pass filter in the feedback path so the sound kind of fizzles out - good for spacey stuff : ) Gareth > suggestion > > put a 1/4 sec fade on the start of your sample and a 1/4 fade out at the > end - no more > nasty clicks when u loop! > > concept7@earthspike.com > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: dan mcmullen <dog@well.com> > To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> > Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2001 11:09 PM > Subject: looping tips and tricks 2001 > > > > anyone care to share their latest looping technique discoveries? i'm > > imagining quick little tips or tricks that make your looping easier or > more > > fun. even "obvious" things that may have been mentioned before would >be > > good. to get things rolling: > > > > - when overdubbing, i recently put a volume pedal of some sort in front of > > the looper to avoid the sharp little blips in background noise from > turning > > overdubbing on & off by fading in before & after the overdub. this is > > particularly useful when looping acoustic instruments using a >microphone > > while hearing the current loop on monitors.
