on the first looper option you showed. is there a way to have a count in before it starts actually recording a loop?
@HugoMorouxАй бұрын
Besides the quantisation options, not on the looper itself. The looper follows your project, so this means you could use your metronome to count yourself in if you have the looper quantised to the project.

as strange as this could sound, I believe strandberg is sitting on some incredibly beautiful and playable guitars, if only they had a nice headstock. No headstock really ruins the whole look for me. Headstocks are beautiful. What benefit you get by getting rid of them? are they REALLY that heavy? Do they REALLY make the guitar that much bigger? I don't see any advantage there. It made sense on the older strandberg models which were really made for traveling. But this is roughly a regular size guitar and they probably just kept that headless look cause it was brand defining at that point.

Fair point! Aesthetics are important enough, and should definitely be considered in terms of what guitar is right for you. I was initially put off by the lack of a headstock too, but it grew on me

I don't know the reason ehy Strandberg has such an unusual neck (back), but imho they didn't get a proper idea of how it's got to be. As long as you play the sloppy way with the left hand all around the neck, many neck profiles will do. But when you get to the classical hand position, the one you usually use playing barree chords or 3NPS stuff it is important to have the thumb working as a counterforce for the pressure of the fingers on the fretboard. When the back of the neck is flat, this will work perfectly. If it is too steep or too rounded the thumb will slip off when the higher strings are played. Sad to see many manufacturers don't even know that.
@HugoMoroux7 ай бұрын
The width of an extended range guitar doesn't lend itself too well to playing barre chords, but it's far from impossible. That being said for chords like that you'd definitely be more comfortable on a 6-string
@iloveitall7 ай бұрын
You got me wrong in any way. I was talking about the back profile of the neck. About the thumb, the counterpart of the fingers. With a Starndberg neck, you will have difficulties to rest the thumb when yo pay the higher strings. It will slip off. @@HugoMoroux

Nice tutorial, thank you! I am looking to do loops for different guitar parts with different effects, for e.g one rhythm, a lead and then transposing the guitar to a bass. At the end of the first guitar part I would like to immediately play the second part and not wait for the loop to loop again, is this possible with the last setup you had shown? Would I be able to hit a second pedal to change the track (second guitar part/effect)coming into the loop and it will keep looping? I have managed to get this working with the session view and not using the Ableton looper but I have to hit 3 pedals: Hit the first pedal once to stop the loop Hit the second pedal once to move to the next track Hit the second pedal again to start that loop Sorry for the long question, hope that makes sense. If I can just hit one pedal once this would be ideal.
@HugoMoroux8 ай бұрын
If I understood your question correctly: you can split your parts up into two different tracks, and then connect a pedal to stop the first track while playing the second track. You'd have to have your set planned out for something like this of course (perhaps pre-recording some parts before the performance), which probably wouldn't work great in an improv scenario. I hope that helps
@elecphan8 ай бұрын
@@HugoMoroux I usually have a rough plan, I basically want to loop but have each guitar part in a different track for different effects. When the first loop ends, I want it to keep playing and basically overdub immediately with the second track. At the moment I can only do this hitting the pedal 3 times as described above but wondering if it’s possible with the Ableton looper setup like you have shown.

My two questions. 1. Are the strap button locations in ideal places? and 2. Have you found a way to store it (ie. a stand that works for it)?

The strap buttons seem fine to me and work well with their straps. I know Strandberg sells a dedicated stand for it too, but I decided against it at the time, so I do not keep it on a stand (it lays on a workbench in my studio - definitely not the most elegant way of displaying it).
