Re: Ubetoo Live Looping category

yeah, but (with all due respect), so what? it's an experiment. i think the term means something, even if the exact defn is a bit fuzzy - maybe that's the whole point. i think maybe there's value in having the term appear in the category drop-down, as a way of shoehorning it into public consciousness a bit. maybe there's no value in that, but i think there might be.

But isn't that category tagging at the Ubetoo site supposed to give
hints about musical genre?  "Live Looping" is not a genre but a
technique, an instrument or a kind of gear. I think it only confuses
listeners to mix things up.

If the site should also be using a complementary way of tagging pieces
- like for example "acapella", "non amplified",  "piano", "saxophone",
"duo", "quartet" etc - then I think Live Looping should have fitted in
there, but not among the genres.
