I went to a concert the other week and for the opening act a woman used some sort of a looping unit with which she recorded herself making numerous sounds with her voice and then by playing them back, she created a whole song - I was very intrigued.
The unit had the shape of a keyboard and it seemed to have several memory banks and one big record key on the left side. I was too far away to see the brand, but perhaps it was Korg. Does anyone know what the unit might be? Also, is there a special name for such a performance?
Skrew the looper units, check out what kid beyond is doing with Bomes Midi Pro and Ableton, you will be able to rock that stuff way harder than any looper box.
very very very cool, i plan to implement some elements of this into my setup at some stage.
May there be no compromising then lol.Theres a ton of information about this on the Bomes Midi site.
I want to use it to capture controllerism gestures then add even more over the top of them. Its possible to build an entire song piece by piece out of cue point juggles from multiple songs with the Traktor routed to Ableton combo drooling
How much practice must that have taken to get that right? Building up stuff from layers is not hard, but making it sound musical while you are building them, and doing each layer on the first take including overdubbing the loop as it’s recording is virtuoso work.
And that’s without effects. Add in effects on each take and you’re into seriously interesting territory (add in BeatLookup and things might get even stranger).
The interesting part comes in when you have it set up to work so smoothly where you don’t even need to look at the laptop…u just know what’s going to happen from ur controller.
alright guys, having been an avid guitarist a long while before i got in djing i can say first off stay away from any of the looping and effects units (pedals) for your djing unless your doing straight up analog ( but than in that case why would you be at this site : P). its pretty simple though what alot of these guys do (trust me ive seen to many) you take a guitar a keyboard and maybe your voice a looping/delay unit such a line 6 dl4, maybe a few more similar pedals for layering, multiple modular effect units, an eq pedal, a ring mod, and posibly a pitch shifter. from there it just depends how the individual artist is going to use the pedals to loop and modulate the audio signals. if anyone curious you can go ahead and look up the aforementioned further in depth but as far as digital Djing is concerned i’ll stick with my words keep it Digital and stay away from the effect boxes : )
