That would be a good technique. Thanks

The implicit point of my post is that the spontaneity and simplicity of the
looper is what draws out fresh material and by using your technique, by the
time the loop was copied and ready for overdub, 'red light' syndrome
probably would occur anyways, so you might as well just start using hd
recording.

Even though the looper is a sophisticated processor, for me, it is closer 
to
'just playing' (loose and spontaneous) than 'recording and arranging'
(tendency to shoot toward 'results' with more 'editing' going on, more
self-conscious ).
