Re: 3 million hits with livelooping

Well done, Chaz. It would not do any of you any harm to take the
positives away from this video, beyond your own aesthetic. It
currently provides a platform, albeit temporary, to present the
fundamental idea behind looping audio in real-time. Who cares if he
wears glasses in-doors.  The fact is, the video presents a musical
concept that supposedly this list is invested in, lots of people are
watching it and it is seemingly bringing joy into peoples lives. I
suppose it all comes down to what you consider meaningful to you, the
individual. If you find it meaningful to adopt a cynical point of view
and bash other peoples creativity, whether it is pop or otherwise,
then fine. I think Matthias was looking for some constructive feedback
but instead this thread has descended into dung.
