Please tell me what your squashboxes are!

Personally, I prefer the "hands on" live element. I also actually like the
inability to use loop point edits. Instead, my little squashboxes give me a
plethora of little things that I can do spontaneously that computers don't
seem
to offer (to my experience). I can add to any point of the loop in "real
time"
without having to move a cursor; I can quickly decide if I want the new
portion
to add to or replace the existing portion; I can change the pitch instantly
without waiting for processing time. I can sample while changing the pitch.
All
of these are very useful to me.
