Live looping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Live looping is the recording and playback of looped audio samples in real-time, using either hardware (magnetic tape, dedicated hardware devices) or software. It is a process with numerous sonic directions, open to instrument textures, improvisation and composition techniques. Performers who use this technique include beatbox artists such as Dub FX, Beardyman, Elijah Mc, THePETEBOX and MC Xander, as well as comedian/musician Reggie Watts.
