Haha, I’d have to buy a mic first
Further to your I’m a Believer post, a couple of thoughts.
-
You mentioned not having a pickup on your acoustic to play rhythm on the looper. Why not plug in your electric on a clean setting? Or indeed with a bit of distortion other fx if you have any pedals. It just forms the backing track and the contrast makes it sound better in my opinion.
-
I presume I’m not the only one, but I used to have to really concentrate to keep the same tempo from one loop to the next. Now if I’m doing a song with multiple parts, i find the bpm I want the song to play at on a metronome website and just play along to that for all parts.
-
in your song, if you record the the loops as 1) First half of the verse 2) 2nd half of verse 3) Chorus, you should still have a couple of slots free which you could re-record the 1st half of the verse which would allow you to pre-record the solo on, allowing you to strum along and pull funny faces on the live performance.
You’re probably aware of most of this, but some of it might be helpful to others just starting out, or contemplating purchasing this bit of kit.
