Feedback loop in Tracktion?

[tkmattson]

Here's what I'm doing and, while it works in the real world, it doesn't seem to work so hot in Tracktion, at least not in any controllable way....

1) Create a rack....
2) Drop in say, a reverb, autoconnect
3) Plug the rack filter into a track, twice, one after the other
4) Pick an(y) instrument to use as a trigger to start the feedback loop
5) It takes off so fast that it'll just shut down the track, wanting to be able to do this in a controllable way....anyone else tried this?

BTW - not responsible for destruction of your speakers, ears, or headphones, in fact, if you try this, I reccommend killing the output first....

Stick a volume/pan filter on the input and you should find it easier to control. Start with the fader turned right down and then bring the level up.

I once got a great stringsynth sound out of feeding a multiFX back to itself on a flange with reverb setting.

Actually, as per your help, I found that sticking the volume control IN BETWEEN the two instances of the same reverb rack did the trick. Thanks....

The one thing about using two racks for feedback loops is the latency introduced because you have to use the same rack. Try it with senderella and using a delay on the send (along with a limter to keep the return under control). Then you have a feedback loop with controllable delay down to a sample.

this isn't exactly what I'm describing, but it's in the ballpark...
