RE: "Live Looping"

["Tom Rex" <tomrex1@cox.net>]

Why doesn't someone write a book entitled "Live Looping for Dummies"  that
should catch on, like all the other "for dummies" books.

Any takers?

Hi,

I scanned my bookmarks but only found two links:

http://www.digido.com/
Click on "Articles" to the left. Great explanations of some common 
technical
issues. Also many interesting articles at http://prosoundweb.com/

Maybe a book would be better. Probably Craig Anderton has written something
useful. I have used his older books when teaching studio recording and I
know he has had a lot of new stuff out since then ;-)
