Thank you, Per, Todd and Steve :) !! Per, I wish you could have explained it on my video so eloquently. While learning the differences over time when you layer your instrument, play it back in different directions, speeds, with or without effects, I completely agree that your instrument becomes a limitless source of untapped beauty :) With looping you also don't have to worry about your drunk drummer showing up to rehearsal late! -Todd Matthews On Sep 29, 2012, at 7:24 AM, Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Todd, > > I'm happy your album came out so good - as of one can hear in the > video - and I think you're saying something really interesting too in > that video!
