So far it's working out really well. Yesterday I received my M-audio USB audio interface and I was happily surprised to find a version of Live included! It's a truncated version of 1.5, but as far as I can tell it will act *exactly* like I intend it to. One of the biggest reasons for me to do this was a size/setup time issue, but I'm also finding that this type of "Live Production" is really fun and allows me to make music that I couldn't make using my old setup. Frankly, the whole idea of "live looping" is great... to us. However, to the audience they could care less. All they want is a good show and interesting music. They could care less about how you get there. I'm still in the beginning phases of this Looper/DJ setup, but the first steps show a lot of promise. While the Repeater was the tool I used to make the loops, it's not what's playing the loops back. Live synced to the E-MU Command Station is taking care of that. I can play all I want using the Command Stations Pads or a small midi keyboard so I don't feel like I'm not getting a chance to add harmonic content to the music. A Numark Axis 9 CD player let's me scratch and mutilate samples to my hearts content. Over all I have not felt like I missed my old setup at all and I can now easily compete with DJs in terms of setup times and production value. I can't wait to hear your new CD Ted! I still love the old one! Mark Sottilaro
