live, improvisational mixing.  that's what i do as well.  i think there's 
an
incredible amount of creative space to be explored there.  transforming
loops over time and using them to play with dynamics.  good stuff, for 
sure.

anyone else consider 'live mixing' to be part of their show?

hmmm... i'm guessing that from the amount of responses to this query that
dance music is pretty far from the kind of stuff most people do here.

i'm kind of struggling right now with the usefulness of my repeater.  given
that i still haven't figured out a realistic way to make real time sampling
work for me (since everything in my music operates so precisely), i'm
considering moving all my repeater loops over to my mpc2k.

it's funny because i'm definitely a looper, my music is all loops, but in
such a different way than almost anyone else on the list.  the liveness
comes in the mixing of 10+ tracks simultaneously.

you should definitely, absolutely, with no doubt... continue to check out
Live.  it rules the universe.  i nearly guarantee that with a little 
digging
you can do the things you need to do with it.
