RE: Live Loop Artists Are Bending Sound In Creative Ways
Looping is just repeating a sample, what you are talking about is called overdubbing or just dubbing. It's an old guitar technique. It was very popular during the early 60's. The first overdubs are back from the 20's.
Overdubbing is the process of layering different recordings on top of each other , sometimes they can be loops.
Les Paul was the guy who pioneered (I don't say invented, but he did invent plenty of things we take for granted as far as the recording and record manipulation is concerned) it in the 20's.
