yeah, it's a different approach.
personally, i like to integrate things wherever possible, so..... 
sometimes 
i'm the one making the original bleeping that's being looped, and at other 
times i'm looping other sources --- inputs from microphones on the 
sax-ist, 
the drummer, bassist, singer, etc.....
many times, though, all of the previous might wind up in one of a few 
parallel loops, or in the same one.....
i do find that the 'looping' of someone else's performance (or, 
a-performance) conveys a completely different perspective, both as a 
'player' 
and as a listener.....
best,
