Re: SV: SV: SV: Ableton LIVE's ability to loop in real time



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?
Cheers
L.a
