I'm going to try and make it more open. Guidelines would be: Your topic or audio that you share has to be LOOPING; repeated samples, not manual repetition The amount of looping in the audio has to be significant; a song with one word looped twice in an entire five-minute track wouldn't work; a pop techno track with a constant-loop beat, and lots of vocal looping, would work! Not just a song that samples another song; a song that samples another song that also loops parts of it. Not just a remix of an already existing song; a remix of an already existing song that frequently loops parts of it. Sample repetition to the rescue! You live loopers are AWESOME! The remix artists are FANTASTIC! The people who make recordings in the studio that could be mistaken for live looping recordings, that go to a concert and play generic acoustic music because they can't loop live, are EXCELLENT! So, it might not be a good idea to advertise a new Britney Spears album here, but if you like a song that, if she would have made a minute longer, would have annoyed you because of the overused repeated background sample beat ... of course! It's a repeated sample, and it's dominant throughout the song. Here's the big statement: Any repeated samples that are noticed throughout the song. Back in May, someone mentioned that when doing choruses of songs, sometimes the band will record it once, and the producers will copy it throughout, so the band doesn't have to sing the chorus again. Not significant enough! It needs to sound like a loop to be in our loop! IMPORTANT NOTICE: When I discovered Looper's Delight, I heard live looping once; it was a guy named Tim Exile. I discovered Looper's Delight when Googling for music that contained tape loops, or at least information about it. Tape loops! A type of prerecorded loop! The URL, www.loopers-delight.com, got my attention, because, as you know, I have that "loop quirk." So, basically, I found this mailing list as a prerecorded looper looking for prerecorded loop music. It just so happens that people like Per Boysen and Amy X. Newberg hit that switch in me; "Maybe I should try LL for live performances, but for the studio versions, use prerecorded, so I can Imogenially (like Imogen Heap) fine-tune the sound." Yes, before I even knew live looping existed, I LOVED Imogen! All the stuff I heard from her was in studio, and I thought it was prerecorded looping. I still have a hard time believing that Imogen used realtime.
