Sunday, October 16, 1:00 – 3:00 PM EST

Are you “looper curious?” Have you owned a looping pedal for years, but aren’t as comfortable with it as you’d like to be? Want to become a one-wo/man-band?

This workshop will cover everything from the basics — such as what types of loopers are available and what they can do — to more in-depth topics. Techniques such as undo/redo, fading, “stutter” recording, and parallel, serial and backwards looping will be covered. Practical applications of how to use a looping pedal tastefully and artistically will be discussed, as well as ways to practice, and even how to use a looper itself as a practice & songwriting tool.

This workshop is appropriate for all levels, even those who don’t own a looping pedal. If time permits, we may work in a one-to-one setting, so feel free to bring your pedal if you have one, as well as an instrument or microphone of your choice. For ages 14+.
