Why does nobody talk about how live looping can make solo acts sound full?

I taught myself to loop guitar and vocals for my sets. Critics say it's cheating, but it lets me create a richer sound alone.

What about that article on looping not being cheating?

Admit I used to think looping was cheating. That article changed my mind.

Exactly, it's just another tool for getting the work done. The cheating idea comes from seeing it as a shortcut, but the real shortcut is not learning the material at all. Looping forces you to actively engage with the problem over and over until it clicks. That repetition builds a deeper understanding than just copying an answer once. It turns a hard concept into something you actually know how to do yourself.
