Re: Doug's gratuitous introspective comment / a band video w/ basiclooping

[Doug Cox <dougcox@pdq.net>]

Thanks to all for an attempt at translating my comment :)

What I mean is:
- I've learned to take control of my loops (vs. letting them own the 
tempo) via things like loop restart, truncating loops, and loop windowing
- I've learned to listen much more deeply than I ever have before (note: 
I've been playing in various types of bands since I was a teen, I'm 40 now)
- The band is not playing to a click, and there's no MIDI synching, etc
- I've learned to work the feedback and loop volume parameters in a way 
that now feels as natural as working the knobs on my guitar
- I've learned how to make loops "fit" in a band context - better at 
thinking ahead melodically so that my loops fit across the changes
- I've learned how to communicate what I'm doing loop-wise with the 
band, and how to incorporate looping into our collective thought process 
and jamming
- I've learned to show up 15 mins early and do a looping warmup along 
with my regular warmup :)
