Post your Loop Recorder Techniques
Posted on: 24.05.2011 by Joannie Brague
Hi all,

Given the new Dub FX videos, I wanted to start a thread on loop recorder techniques.

As I believe it can be a powerful feature, but I'm still looking for new ways to make it more robust.

I'll be playing with some techniques and post my findings here.

Nope, just plug it in and it'll work.

i've mapped my loop rec button as toggle, set length, hit button and fuck about for x beats

I do that with the sample deck. I've been playing so much stuff the last few months that doesn't involve much mixing though that I've fallen out of practice.

21.10.2011		nice photojojo.

i've been working on something as well. mainly just cuepoint juggling some beats to form my own drum loop samples.

i've also been working on a maschine and traktor set. so far so good. i'll post more findings as i get more solid ideas.

26.06.2011		So I finally got my sample deck mapped out on my APC80.
Got the Loop Recorder hooked up with a Boss Footswitch.

So far....I have managed to Loop Record my scratching and have that play back instantly and also mapped out a button to copy to a sample deck slot. Need to work out the bugs and do final tweaks....but finally using TSP2 to its full potential.

WOOOOOT!

So my technique so far is to do a scratch fill, record and loop it back....add to it with a couple of sample stabs using overdub and then popping it into the sample slot.

Then I can Effect it with the Beatmasher and RingModulator.

Much fun!

Need to work on how to scratch the samples......

25.05.2011		I'm reshowing this one as an example, sorry for those who already saw it (I should really offer something new):
I'm using the loop recorder to add several layers of sounds, then playing with fx on some of those , record that, add the new layer, etc..
At around 4:14 during the break, I record one of the sample on which I apply some fx too, remove the layer, and pull it back later at around 5:43

24.05.2011		I use it to make my own drum loops from one shots quite a bit.

24.05.2011		Mainly use it for recording weird noises created with a micro loop and effects. Like the vid ean did with the x1...
