Time loop... You can keep a recording hanging on ad infinitum if you have a way to seamlessly loop...



Really? Do you know what you just said? What makes you think there's a way to do that and sound real?? "...IF you have a way..." That's the whole problem.
Using my example above, taking a quarter note piano chord you're going to try looping that 3 times to create a 4 beat hold? What about the natural attack, sustain and decay in that note? When you loop that you're tacking the beginning of that note to the end. The beginning is louder than the end because of the decay and that's only one part of it. The attack of a pianist hitting the keys is probably a bigger problem than the decay. Now you not only have to cut the part after the attack otherwise you will hear the same attack at the beginning of each loop, but match the decay too and remember we're doing this 3 times in my example so each successive loop has to be progressively softer and yet still blend. The playback of something like that usually sounds like crap. Not saying it's impossible but that kind of thing is extremely difficult. Probably easier to do all the recordings.
