I don't disagree, Homeboy! I've
wanted for some time to be able to add guitar loopage as background to regular
"pop" music. Perhaps it would at least partially legitimize it,
hm?
I find the most difficult bits are
still with respect to timing of the loop in relation to the beat/etc.; and I
think of the ideal situation for it as being with someone else controlling the
length and placement, and my just working within the construct. It might
make the material meld better with what it's providing background for,
yes?

Subject: loops w/ live groups
Although I have the deepest respect for Fripp and his approach to
looping, I suppose what really interests me is the use of loops with a live
band--you know, not just soundscapes and drones, but also more rhythmical
loops. However, getting these to sync up to a drummer (or vice versa)
can be a bit of a challenge, at least to a relatively new "loopist". I
just figured I'd throw this question out there and hopefully get some help:
any tips on syncing loops up with a real drummer (the first track off of the
Bruford Levin Upper Extremities cd is a great example)? Right now I'm
using a Jamman (thanks Mark!), so the possibility of taking advantage of MIDI
could work, if it supplied a click track for my drummer...
Sorry if this distracts some of you from the loop as fx vs loop as
instrument debate 8^)
