Re: looping as a profession

[Daryl <highhorse@mhorse.com>]

Jesse, would it work to have a splitter box before your looper, sending 
one side
to your own amp, and sending the other to the looper with the mix for the 
loops
set at 100% wet?  (I don't own an EDP, but I assume this is controllable
universally.) Then split the signal coming from the looper too, sending it 
to
your own rig to mix with the dry, and sending only the wet to everyone 
else.
You could also click the output to your bandmates on and off this way.

I use a splitter myself so I can have an uncolored dry sound that doesn't 
go
thru my looping stuff.  Plus, it's a safety device; if the complicated 
stuff
breaks down at least I can keep making noise!

These examples of folks making all or some part of their living doing 
music is
highly inspiring!
