Hello fellow loopiers, I've just purchased a laptop PC which I plan on using in my looping rig. I have a few questions/concerns if any of you have any input or guidance. I'm all ears! 1. How do I connect it to my amp? Is there a USB device that will be an acceptable interface? Will the Tascam US-122 be a good choice? I heard some devices have a lag time, which I do not want. 2. I plan on using either Abelton LIVE or Adobe Audition as my software, along with Ambiloop or Fruity Loops. Does anyone have any "favorites" of these I mentioned? Easier to use than another? Recommended foot controllers---I see that the FCB101 gets a lot of mention. How about the Rocktron All-Access? 3. Can Abelton LIVE play a prepared track, and then allow me to click a foot pedal with a drum track that is synched to the prepared track? Can Audition do the same thing? 4. FWIW...my style of looping leans toward the ambient/new age/Fripp/Torn/Centrozoon/Pinhas type of looping, w/ acoustic and electric guitar. My influences from this list are Kris Hartung, Bernhard Wagner and a many others. You guys ALL rock ! :) Some of my other floor pedals and loopers include a Boss DD-20 & RC-20, a DL-4, an octave pedal and a Digitech RP-100 (soon to be traded in for something better). Anyway...hope I wasn't long-winded, but I feel that the more info I give, the better insight you all have...I learn a lot from this group, and it's a pleasure to read and learn from the many varied posts. On occasion I've even emailed responses to some newbies, even though I'm an "advanced" newbie...LOL. Peace & loops, Ed in NJ
