[LAU] Loop Composition

[Aurélien Leblond]

My composition workflow is based on loops - starting by creating rythms in

>> recording some guitars in Ardour and creating some samples from that...

>> In Ardour is is time consuming to reorganise the loops to test new

>> My idea of a workflow would be to have a tool to try out the different
>> loops in different order and "jam" with them to see what works and what

I quickly cheked the feature list for Non-DAW on their website.
Although the feature you described is listed, it doesn't really say if it
eases the composition part. It looks to me like you need to have a clear
idea of the song structure.
What if you would like to try out different arrangements quickly - can you
confirm or infirm if that is the case?
