Best looper and DAW setup for singer/songwriter and/or vocalist types

Post date: 2018-09-20 17:34:49

I'm looking to purchase a looper as a gift. I'd love to hear stories of your favorite such setups. I'd like to get one that is easy to use, yet also extensible and a perhaps a notch or two above "basic" (unless basic can be made delux via daisy chaining a few together, if that's a "thing"?)

The looper recipient accompanies herself on guitar mainly, and sometimes a few other instruments. I started to research a bit, and a few models seemed to be trending .. but your personal stories will go so much further than "best of" type review articles. Budget is flexible -- if the most compelling looper is on the pricier end I will try to drum up interest amongst friends in going in on group gift.

Re the DAW (digital audio workstation) software, she currently lacks any setup at all beyond garageband on an ipad. I dont know if it will be part of this gift or not, but I'd like to have an idea of the whole set up , including pc and software, if nothing else to just have something to recommend. I am pretty tech savvy and patient with learning UIs, but she is not .. anyone out there more on that end of the spectrum have any stories about why You love studio 1 or ableton or ..etc?

I'm assuming that giving the right spaghetti of cords ans adapters most any looper could send audio out to a computer input, for use in whichever software , yes? Is there anythig sneaky I ought to keep in mind about this when selecting which looper to get her?

As far as I know what she already owns includes amps, mics for performing, xlr and 1/4" cables and adapters. She doesnt have a got usb mic yet (eg Blue yeti or something similar.)
