RE: Rang III reviews
Title: RE: Rang III reviews
Ahh... well that is certainly F%^%'ed up... wow...!!
Here is what
I am referring to:
After laying
down an initial loop, I like to build layers and layers of Ebow.
If you leave overdub on, never turning it offsay for 10-15
passesjust building and buildingevery time the overdub passes over
the initial start/end point of the loop, the overdub itself will also
drop out in time with the initial loop.
It is like
there is a wall that no audio shall pass through. Your initial
loop creates this wall, and all the overdubs are affected by it.
You can also think of it like an audible speedbump on a racing track.
Each time you go around the track, you will hit that
speedbump.
With the
DL-4, I can leave overdub on, and building a wall of Ebow and there is
no dropout to the overdubs. They are perfectly seamless and if
done right, there is no ending or beginning to the overdub, just a
wall of sound.

Perhaps we are referring to different
aspects of the same thing... after the initial loop, any
additional layer will have it's own in / out points and you can elect
to punch out at any point. No interruption in the signal till
you decide to stop recording. Same as any looper.
Respectfully, this is not true. As I said, you
cannot get seamless overdubs. It is not an issue with just the
first loop.
Boomerang itself will confirm this.
I still use my DL-4 for my seamless, overdubbed Ebow antics, as the
Boomerang III cannot do this.

I hope that you realize that this is only an issue on the
first loop, any overdub will be seamless over the 'splice point'.
All loopers do this to some degree, otherwise you would
have a nasty "click" or "pop" over the splice
point.
"I would note however, the
Boomerang does a ramp up and down of the volume of the loop where the
end and beginning meet. "
ughhhhh~~~
You're kidding. That
alone may be enough for me to not buy this.
I was so psyched! Small
footprint, ease of setup, I thought I could get away from the Echoplex
which I think is a great tool but a wee bit overkill for live
performances.

I am swamped right now, but I will try to post some
thoughts soon. I owned a Gibson Echoplex, but sold it once I had
the Boomerang III and realize it would suit MY NEEDS.
I would note that the Boomerang III produces less white
noise than the Gibson, and I found that its input is less finky than
the Gibson.
This makes seamless Ebow overdubs impossible. There is a
glitch/dropout. I have spoken with the company, and it seems
like they will make an effort to address this, but no promises.
