Re: looping the voice

[Jim Cole <thejimcole@yahoo.com>]

Wow, Kid Beyond is an amazing beatbox/vocalist -
thanks for the link to the video Simeon - it also
looks promising for what I do (which is a very
different use of voice) - and certainly what I need to
do to acheive my sound/music is Much simpler than what
he seems to be doing - so that's encouraging too!

...Now I just need to try to understand what I need
for a virtual looping set up etc.! (I'm not very tech
saavy).
