Hmmm, if your friend has very little experience with any instrument, then voice is probably a good one to start with. What is he looking to do with looping? When I show friends, the best thing I can do is show them the very basic acts of creating a first loop and adding overdubs. I don't show them any of the bells and whistles, because that gets to be too much information at once. Maybe after a few minutes or so, I'll show them the DL-4's half speed and reverse feature. An important thing for me is to do something else for a while while they work with it - I usually catch up with emails. Otherwise, I'll keep getting the urge to jump in and tell them how to make things better. (Your friend will probably need to ask you to remind him which switch does what a few times.) Also, by not sitting there watching them, you give them the opportunity to learn at their own pace without pressure. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 12:05 AM, kay'lon rushing <k3zz21@gmail.com> wrote: > Dont think I've seen this posted before so i thought I'd ask, what are > some > ways to go about teaching a friend about live looping?
