How was all this looped in real time? This is an AWESOME way to jam (if you are able to play all the inst’s) What’s that pedal? All done in Cubase? i don’t recall cubase being intuitive enough to pull this off (hands free)…I’ve seen it with Ableton live, but Live is just quirky & awkward to use for me :>(
I was trying to figure this out, too.
For those of you that are interested there is a loop soup explanation video that explains how it was all done!!!
Check it out, it’s quite funny;
