to go back to where i think this thread started....are videos of Y2K on YouTube useful?
YES
every person who wants to learn how to do what i do...i send them to loopers-delight (and tell them that's where i got all my tool info & support when i was starting out) and i tell them to look on YouTube for looping videos.
i don't send them to the ableton boards unless they're already versed in hardware looping..

I would find some other theme, and then book appropriate looping artists. The whole looping tag would be a secondary detail, nothing more. Something journalists could write about. As a consumer of music, I could care about looping about as much as I care about a guitarists choice of picks. -George

as for my audience...depends on the city. my last major solo show in SF, with only me on the bill....sold out a 475 capacity hall and they let people in to sit on the floor.
but i expect a tiny, tiny fraction of my fans care about "looping". just like a tiny fraction of people who look at a web site care whether it was done in bbedit or dreamweaver.
i still think of looping as a technical term. interesting to those of us who care about technical things. On Dec 12, 2009, at 5:21 AM, andy butler wrote:

I'm at a loss to suggest a high profile live looper though,
maybe Eberhard Weber(who would get audience) or Theo Travis.
What about Zoe?
dunnow, let's ask :-)
Hey Zoe, if you headlined a loopfest how
many people do you think you could draw in?
