No Input

Omoshiroi

I did this with my guitar amplifier. I pluged the foot switch output in to the input.

hey-
do you know what recording it is in that clip that natasha pointed out up there? I had always figured it would have been on DO but it's not. I think it might not be with sachiko at all... I have a feeling its the collaboration with Gunter Muller on the erstwhile amplify box. don't ask me why. anyway... do you know?

Just so, so inspiring.

Just try and control your speakers. Set them to zero while you get everything working, then very slowly increase volume. Headphones maybe? It will change the sound though.

HI, thanks for replying!

I tried it on my pioneer dmj 600, i basically put the master out into an input, it produced a hum sound, which was rather nice. I was most impressed that i did not blow my head off or the speakers. After this however, i tried to re-create this in logic pro, but it did not seem to give the same effect -perhaps my routing was wrong, but i did try simple in to out routing. Thanks anyhoo :)

its different with digital, as the sound is split up into 'blocks' or something, so they dont really feedback like with analog signals

it seemed at the time as if i was just doubling the signal like additive synthesis i guess, rather than feedback, but it gave a phatter signal, so maybe its a useful production technique?

I bet you get profoundly different results in digital than you do in analogue. Also, if you connect Logic out to your soundcard output, then wire that in hardware to the hardware input, and send the result back into Logic, you introduce (1) re-sampling the sound each time it goes through the loop and (2) a delay in the feedback, based on the latency of your hardware.

Don't let that stop you, the nature of feedback is that tiny circuit changes make big differences...

ok, thanks il try that, i have little experience with these techniques but it is fascinating.I only have the soundcard in my laptop (mac) not a separate interface, but could probably do that procedure using my mixer.
