hi and thanx for the detailed information! i was pointed out to ableton before, but i rather prefer to use a hardware looper. i didn't quite understand what you meant by overdubbing - is it correct, when i record somethin and i like it i can record something additional ontop of the original matreial . but when i do this, both become one file and can not be seperated anymore, right? like for example if i sing into the machine, and then have the voice looped i can sing another voice ontop of it, but when i export it from the flashcard it is ONE audio file, right? or is there a possibility to listen to the two recorded voices seperately? and next question: i read the repeater is stereo, so could i reach more tracks if i recorded and panned each track to get eight mono tracks??? thanx > Hi Simon, > > And welcome to the list!
