Back when it was released (2003?) I read an interview with Beck and  
he was obviously impressed with about Andy's post treatments in  
Protools. Basically cutting stuff up, reversing, re-pitching, copying  
and moving slices etc. But done on the recording, not performed in  
real-time by the musician while the source audio was performed.

As I understand, many of us loopers on this list work in similar  
ways; first recordiing a unique live looping performance and then  
taking it to another level by careful DAW editing.
