Re: Is using Pre-Recorded Loops Cheating?



so while we are on this topic,are there any really
groovy drum loops out there made specially for solo
live musicians? a lot of them on the net ive come
across seem very hip hop cliche,or too abnoxious to
use live with my acoustic guitar,and iver never dared
to use them live anyway.I am also interested in the
perfect compact matching drum machine sampler
companion for us loopers with already busy hands.it
should essentially  be small,do track mute,next
sequence, control efx through exp
pedal,slow,speed,start,stop etc.all via Midi.In fact i
bought my MPC1000 for that purpose but it never felt
intuitive enough for me to use a live
situation,although is a fun box i find it very limited
Midi wise.Recently i just make my drum loops live with
my amplified cajon,but sometimes i dont want to go
through the building up proccess and just trigger
something groovy to acompany my already building
ambient loops.
As far as loops go i am specially interested in a lot
of those lo-fi,spy down beat retro sounding used by 
lounge artists,or pop ones like the ones Beck uses as
well.
cheers
Luis
