Re: Ableton LIVE's ability to loop in real time



It would be really cool if you wrote the live looping part especially for
one foot controller e.g. the beringer fcb, so that i could buy the 
software,
buy the footcontroller and be up and running straight away.
This would give the feel of having  a dedicated hardware unit straight out
of the box.
As for latencies I don't understand the big deal, just got the programma
ASIO driver for my M-Box, this happily runs at 7ms, which to me is almost
unnoticeable and I bet no worse than alot of digital equipment. It seems
that most sound cards manage these low latencies now.

The key is feeling like you can buy a piece of software and use it straight
away, that will encourage people to move to computers.
Geoff (please do a Macintosh port!!!! as there are currently no software
realtime loopers for the Mac, apart from some very limited max/msp patches,
even JHNO's looper is unusable due to the glitching created when you hit
record also no overdub!!! ArggHHHHHHH!!!!)
