RE: Loopers do it repeatedly (was Re: Fw: THIS IS FOR REAL. (THIS IS A LOOP BASED MUSIC LIST!)




simple idea on how to end a loop performance...

how about putting your loop through a delay and turning up the send level 
to
the delay as the loop is ending (or turning the mix from dry to wet if the
delay is being used as a master insert)?
