Those are good observations.  "Overdub-like" activities can be done with
multiple clip slots.  Multiply, with overdub, isn't directly available - 
but
can be done in a similar fashion.

I don't have any latency issues (ASIO driver works with ~10ms latency), and
the interface is actually very simple to manage with MIDI.  "Next Loop" is
easy enough - just start recording in the next slot, which is assigned to a
MIDI pedal.  Also, the reason I recently asked about a program to fire off
keyboard macros based on MIDI note input - is because I can use it to get 
to
a lot of functions in Live via my FCB1010.

Works like a charm.
