So, it was my first attempt at looping today. Well, not exactly looping, but pretty close. I’ll explain.<\/p>\n
Usually, looping involves playing a musical part into a piece of hardware or software called a looper. The looper repeats the part, and you play a different part over that one, so on.You might have a microphone, a guitar, and a keyboard, and add them, one by one.I sort of did that . . .<\/p>\n
I opened up my recording software, Reaper, and found a drum loop I wanted. Is that cheating? I could play something in, but I don’t have a keyboard (except my computer keyboard. So, I just chose an existing drum loop \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I then put Reaper into loop recording mode. In this mode, Reaper records the same section, over and over again, keeping each take.So, I rehearsed the different parts a while, tried a few times, and got a take I mostly liked.So, the recording is all one take of a looped section.<\/p>\n
I went back and processed the sounds differently.<\/p>\n
That’s not the way traditional looping is done, as far as I understand it. But it’s how I did it, lol. A little delay and reverb, and I was good to go.Enjoy,Keith<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
