It's official. I'm a slacker. I had been planning on 2006 being the year that I got serious about blogging and podcasting and live streaming and other cool music-related technologies. But, other priorities prevailed, and here I am now with a neglected blog and website, a non-existant podcast, and no live streaming performances under my belt. :( But everyday is a chance to start over, right? :) Here's a link to my blog post from this afternoon, summarizing some of the basic results of the online 2005 Looping Survey conducted starting in November 2005: http://uncledig.com/wp/ (by the way, my "audio gallery" site is still alive, at http://www.uncledig.com/ if you're interested in that sort of thing) Many of you participated in the survey (110 of the 182 respondents were LD members), and I want to thank you for taking the time to do it. This survey was completed just *before* things really started to heat up with the Looperlative, so you won't even see it in the list of standard answers. It *was* listed by a couple of people in the "other" columns. It'll be interesting to see what it looks like in another year! As a quick comparison, the 2003 survey (taken in November 2003) showed these results: 94 people responded 310 total devices were reported (3.3 devices per person) 1) Echoplex Digital Pro = 68 devices 2) Electrix Repeater = 36 devices 3) Line6 DL-4 Delay Modeler = 33 devices 4) Lexicon Jamman = 19 devices 5) Kaoss Pad I or II = 11 devices 6) Ableton Live = 11 devices 7) Boomerang/Boomerang + = 10 devices 8) Akai Headrush - 6 devices 9) Boss RC-20 - 6 devices 10) Lexicon Vortex - 6 devices In 2005's survey, these were the results: 182 people responded 922 total devices were reported (5.1 devices per person) 1) Echoplex Digital Pro - 98 devices 2) Line 6 DL-4 - 56 devices 3) Digitech RDS 7.6 (or similar, incl PDS series) - 45 devices 4) Ableton Live (software) - 44 devices 5) Electrix Repeater - 43 devices 6) Boss RC-20 (or RC-20XL) - 41 devices 7) Lexicon Vortex - 37 devices 8) Boss DD-3, 5 or 6 - 36 devices 9) Boss DD-20 - 33 devices 10) Electro Harmonix 16 Second Delay (new or reissue) - 26 devices Doug http://www.uncledig.com
