Re: Live Looping versus using Pre-Recorded Loops

[Matthias Grob <matilists@gmail.com>]

well, cheating is saying something and doing a different thing, right?

so if a festival invitation says something about the music, it should be 
more or less maintained
if we define live looping somewhere on the net, its less heavy, its up to 
the musicians feeling whether he uses the brand or not

on the youtube.com/livelooping playlist collection I solved the problem by 
creating a category for videos with considerable amount of prerecorded 
parts

if the prerecorded part is just a drum sample or so, I think there is no 
need to worry about, its obvious to the listener and common...

of course a stupid definition should not hold back an artist to create 
what he feels should be created. 
on the other hand, its a famous fact that limitations enhance creativity 
:-)
