Looking for a looper that just loops

More specifically: I want a looper that doesn't snap every loop to the length of the first loop recorded and just allows for loops of any length to be stacked on top of each other, starting and ending only when the footswitch is pressed. This is because I want to stack different polyrhythmic lines in different, often odd, time signatures on top of each other.

The problem is, no looper really seems to have this covered. Some, like the Ditto+, have so-called free-length features, but these all rely on the secondary longer loop being an even multiple of the first one, time-wise. This isn't what I'm looking for.

So far the only one I can tell that has this feature is the Boss RC500. Bit more expensive than I'd like, but if it's the only option I guess I'll grab it. Would love to know if there are others though.

Little Dipper quiet vocal part

Just pointing this out as it's something I've never heard before and I love discovering details like this with repeated listens. They start after the first chorus, at about 2:29. Pretty quiet, just a three note (well, two technically), ahh-ooh-ahh pattern underneath the rest of it. Listen close with headphones and you'll hear it if you never have.

I finally own an RLV!

I’ve spent countless hours doing research on ODC, talking to former employees, and gathering information on their machines and their potential whereabouts (more on that in due time). While that search has ultimately not been as fruitful as I’d have liked it to be, I’m just very happy to finally own a small piece of the history I’ve uncovered. I had a saved search for years, and it finally paid off. I unfortunately don’t have a player with me at the moment as I’m at university, but I’ll give it a spin as soon as I can and hopefully capture it.

Y'all need to check out Secret Machines

I'll start off by saying: I say this not because they sound like Porcupine Tree, but because I feel of all music fans out there, they're more likely to appeal to y'all than anyone else. Literally every Secret Machines fan I know is also a huge PT/SW fan.

It's hard to describe their sound in any way other than just plain awesome. A 28 inch kick drum, a wall of effects laden guitars and keys, incredibly well written songs and great singing, and a truly MASSIVE sonic landscape, there just really isn't anything else that sounds like it. Space Rock is the most fitting label they've got, just because they really don't fit into any other category. They're one of the most underrated bands of all time, and I think more people need to hear them. I'll leave you with the 9-minute opener of their perfect debut album as a jumping off point, but all of their work is truly incredible.

If you are a fan (or become one), please check out my archival YouTube channel where I have tons of unreleased tracks, guitar lessons, live footage, and more. I'm really trying to find and unify fans of the band online, so if that sounds like you, please hop on board!

New Madrid - Homesick (Outro)

Just a lovely slice of slowcore, really. Despite the genre not being this band's focus, this moment on the album has always stuck out to me as very heartfelt and beautiful, and it undoubtedly fits under the slowcore label. The original track has a first half that's basically another song with an entirely different feel, so I just separated this for my own personal enjoyment, but I figure y'all might appreciate it as well.

Last additions before college ( + full collection)

About 3 years ago, I found my parents’ collection of 100 or so CDs. Classic albums, the stuff I grew up listening to. When I got my car I would spin them everywhere. It started my collecting journey. Every weekend, I’d be at the thrift stores, estate sales, and the absolute godsend that is Half Price Books, in addition to grabbing the rarer stuff off Discogs and eBay. In that time my collection has grown to over 730 CDs of every genre imaginable. I won’t be able to take them with me, but they’ll be here waiting, and I’ll continue to accumulate more whenever I can. It’s gonna be slower for a while though. This is the last haul for now. Y‘all can view my full collection on Discogs here!

Original Up Records CDs

Very pleased to have found Contemporary Movement. All that’s missing is 1975, but it’s actually in the mail. Sure, you could buy the capsule losing contact set and have it all the same, but something about owning a piece of the actual time period speaks to me.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up

Fact is, despite all the vague “don’t believe everything you read” posts from Jim, Stacy, and AJ Good, no one has denied it. No one has flatly said “Sid is still in the band, this is outright false.” They‘re saying what they can to try to calm some people‘s nerves, but chances are we get an official statement sometime today with confirmation and maybe some reasoning. If it was false the band would’ve made that clear by now. But I don’t think Sid’s part of it anymore.

Anyone got an original Contemporary Movement CD they'd like to sell?

Looking for the 2000 Up release. Willing to pay a fair price! I'd just like it to go along with my original Stratosphere.

Y’all should listen to Grandaddy

If you want something that captures a bit of that TH vibe you should absolutely check them out. Thats not to say it’s gonna be exactly the same, but if you want interesting production, great and abstract lyrics (this is an area of similarity for sure), and just an overall killer sound to fill that TH void, look no further.

This is one of my favorite tracks. Incredibly well written and catchy. also happens to open up the album if you want to keep it going from there. Check em out, absolutely worth your while!

Dropped my POD XT - Bottom row of buttons doesn't work now

It wasnt a super long drop (3ish feet?), and it landed upright, on its feet. Everything else works fine, but for some reason the Edit button and the 4 buttons used to navigate and tweak parameters have just stopped registering. I'm really not sure what could've happened, and taking the back off is no real use because I can't seem to access the top of the board because the knobs don't seem to come off. Seeing as there's plenty of air in the thing and its really just a PCB mounted to a metal frame, I don't know what went wrong. If anyone knows how to fix it or has a solution that would be great, because right now I can't make any meaningful presets or tweak anything.

UMC 1820 Crackles and Pops during playback

This is during any sort of audio playback on any output. Initially I assumed it was an issue with my DAW, but after setting it to my PC's main output and listening to some audio files with my DAW closed it was still happening. It's intermittent, every 5-10 seconds it'll pop in one ear or both. I have the latest driver installed, I've adjusted everything and tried every input, I've changed USB ports on my PC (which worked once in the past but doesn't seem to anymore), tried SPDIF and ADAT, literally any parameter that might change something. I also made sure the jacks were clean. I'm really at a loss here, so any help is greatly appreciated!
