A gate is necessary for multiple undo functions to work in a useable way.

Long ago in the early versions of LoopIII, we had the gate threshold rather high and it cut decaying sounds off rather obviously. The gate threshold was reduced in subsequent versions to a point where it should not be so obvious. If you hear the gate so obviously, most likely you have the input level too low. this is discussed the Echoplex FAQ: http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/FAQ5.html#gate The input level should be set high enough such that the loudest sound you play in the loop path is just below clipping. (note I say loop path, not direct path.) The best way I've found to do this is set Mix to "Loop", set feedback to 0, record a very short loop, and turn overdub on. Then you will only hear sounds you play through the loop path, and you can set the input level to the highest it will go before clipping. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
