These pre-recorded loops are Drums and synthesizer
stuff, and the loops I make are from my guitar.
I have pre-recorded these drum patterns in
Pro-Tools and put them in my sequencer, and I can trigger them at any time I
like in my song.
And all my guitar loops are not pre-recorded. In my
EDP I make use of the mute button a lot and I play with loopcopy/overdub to make
different scenes in the song.

Do you ever save your loops in the sequencer to trigger them at a
later point?
I like the idea of having the loops pre-recorded so that I
can trigger them at a later point, but I want to know if it's possible to record
a loop in the EDP, dump it / assign to a button, and then have that loop/button
at my disposal for later use.
I essentially want to use the sequencer in
the way you are, but without having the parts pre-recorded. It seems like it
would make life easier if I did have them pre-recorded though, and no one would
know, since the loop segment would have been played at one point or another.
Hmm!

Hi E
I'm using a sequencer (yamaha RS7000) for the
songs which contains samples and to sync my Echoplex.
I can switch by hand which part of the song I
want to play next, and the Echoplex stays in sync.
These blocks of music in the sequencer are the
basics for my songs where I can play my loops ontop.
Beside that I like to improvise a lot (from
scratch).

Hi Loopers,
I am new to looping and LD, have learned much in the past couple of
months. I have checked out lots of your available music, which sounds awesome.
My question to those that perform live is, is each performance you do
completely spontaneous? Or do you start out with a framework for how you want
to build a song. For example, for those who have a CD out, do you try to
repeat songs which are on your CD?
I realize there are probably many different answers based on artistic
preference, I have been using what I call the tabula rasa method, in which I
start playing whatever comes to mind and take it from there. However the lack
of pre-planning leaves open the possibility of falling flat on my face in a
live setting (right now only my dog hears what I am playing and she is a very
good listener but biased).
Many thanks in advance for your responses.
E
