Re: cheap looping AU plugin

["Raul Bonell" <raul.bonell@gmail.com>]

now copy/paste your instructions per... exciting moment for us loopers! ...

retriggering should work (dunno 'til i test in rehearsals) for manual align when drifting and also for some sample-shot percussive elements (if done rapidly).. must try the retrigger technique more.

about erasing all content, which i did with my echoplex before, just i don't like to add many overdub layers, because when you clear instantly all that material, seems to decompesate the band, above all if the other players in the band don't play polyphonic or "dense" sounding instruments.

maybe it's the combination of both: retriggering during clearing slowly ... 

it's hard to loop with others, and i usually end doing something nearer to "realtime-sampling".

time to change.

thanks again my swede!

Cool. To play with others you need a quick way of adjusting your
loop/loops to a changing tempo. This can be done on two ways:
- Retriggering the loops.
- Deleting everything and make up a new loop on-the-fly (that goes
better with what the band does at the moment)

I know Mobius does both brilliantly and I think SooperLooper does too.
One trick when looping with a band is to not use a lot of parallel
loops but overdub many layers into the same loop. Then you are always
just one butt-kick from jumping back on track (kick Record to erase
and make a new better loop). Set up a pedal for instant retrigger of
the loop, with that you can adjust the loop start and keep a loop a
little longer even though the other guys have stretched the tempo.

Augustus Loop has a punch-in function as well (check the manual). It
doesn't have a Multiply function like the EDP context but you can get
around changing the loop length rather smoothly if starting by setting
the Sync to 1/32. This one goes up to 1/1 and that means a much longer
loop than the first one you catch live by the punch-in method.
