AW: Foot timing, syncing loops with Ableton



Hey Warren,

I think we were all very impressed when you demonstrated your looping setup
at Y2K6loopfest...and it's interesting to hear that you also took the route
to combine a looping software (in our sense of the word) with Ableton Live.

Live with its lacking "first loop capability" (you need to set a tempo in
advance) and the non-existent overdub function needs a dedicated looper - 
in
my case it's Mobius. Depending on the actual piece/work, I sync Live to
Mobius or vice versa. Normally, I never record audio clips in Live, only
MIDI stuff (and here, I also can overdub and replace as I choose), and do
all audio looping stuff in Mobius.

All the best,
