Thank you Per! I am shooting for a Mixer so i will very likely be getting a Mackie 1202VLZ or something like the Eurorack you have. I saw a band called "Calexico" recently and although they dont do any loops i was blown away.They come from arizona(Calexico lies in the border with Mexicali Mexico which is where i come from).Really cool stuff, desert music, film oriented, very misterious with mariachi trompets,pedal steel drones and dreamy xylophones textures, plus nylon spanish guitars of course and a mouth organ. The singer had a special microphone on the side which sounded like the old 50´s records a bit distorted cheap but very cool.Do you know if there are some microphones geared for this type of sound?
