Re: Looping vocals

[mike@michaelplishka.com]

Neil,  How was your system configured with the mic? I have an acoustic  
and I loop my voice through my guitar mic but was thinking using my  
main mic would give me a greater range of sounds.

How do others do this?

I prefer to be hands free and loop while I'm playing guitar which gets  
looped as well.
