Author	Topic: Four Track Looper question
taylor12k Member	posted 15 September 2009 14:18 all of my email to SSC is bouncing... so i thought i'd post here for carla or whoever wants to try to help me out.. this is the email i sent carla today that bounced: i'd like to work on setting up a really nice looping Sound based on "four track looper".... i have one question.. how can i get the loops to OVERDUB.. so when i go to record on top of one of the loops it can add to the loop instead of write over it? is there somewhere else i should be looking besides "for track looper" as a starting point? thanks! taylor [This message has been edited by taylor12k (edited 15 September 2009).] IP: Logged
SSC Administrator	posted 15 September 2009 15:04 If you are overdubbing, then you are adding a new loop to the one that is already playing. Generally speaking, when you want to add something, think Mixer. If you have several live capture/loopers in a Mixer, you can record into one, then into the next, then into the next. All of them will play back at the same time if they are in a Mixer. (I've just sent you a test message by email; please respond if you receive it. Thanks) [This message has been edited by SSC (edited 15 September 2009).] IP: Logged
taylor12k Member	posted 15 September 2009 17:43 yes.. i do want to add a new one to the one that's already playing... right on top of it. i guess i could achieve the same effect with many loopers.. but i'd like the ability to layer passages on the same loop... is that possible? IP: Logged
SSC Administrator	posted 15 September 2009 19:17 If you have two loopers synchronized, it is the same as having one looper with overlays. IP: Logged
taylor12k Member	posted 15 September 2009 19:45 yeah.. that's definitely a "workaround"... i can just put as many loopers in as i think i may need... also gives me the flexibility to have control over each layer. i just like the idea of overdubbing because sometimes less control can lead to happy accidents..

tuscland Member	posted 16 September 2009 03:51 what about using a feedback loop to feed the input of the looper with a mix of the new input + the current output of the looper ? [This message has been edited by tuscland (edited 16 September 2009).] IP: Logged
pete Member	posted 16 September 2009 16:40 Yes, Feedback is the way to go as that is how you would do it in DSP code although you would pull the value out, add it to the new incoming signal, and put it straight back again. Of course this would happen within one sample and there would be no delays involved. That said if you have to use the feedback in / feedback out modules (that give a fixed delay) you could read out off the table (with an extra reader just for the feed back) but read it early (offset) to compensate for the delay.
