Looper's Delight

In fact, I use Mainstage + Ableton6 + SooperLooper + Max (to record the whole mess 6 channels in realtime) in a similar way. of course, i'm not using the ableton looper, Latency isn't too bad - I have Mainstage getting guitar input directly from my MOTU and sending output to Jack, which splits and sends to sooperlooper and out to the MOTU. you can always adjust the latency of a looper to work with whatever you want as long as you're not monitoring your input via the looper, so that's no problem. The only issues are processing power and memory - my Macbook is kind of at it's limits on both using a short 64-sample buffer size. but then again, I'm also using Sooperlooper to send midi clocks to Live to drive drum patterns that are either audio loops in Live or MIDI Clips that are getting sent BACK to another Mainstage channel to drive Mainstage drum kits. And i'm also mildly processing and looping another 2 channels of audio from my guitar synth, and sometimes capturing/looping additional audio from people I'm playing with. It's quite sick. And I'm using MIDI Patch back to get MIDI from point A to point B when it doesn't seem to get there by default. It actually works fine (except that once in a blue moon SooperLooper goes nuts with nasty noise and needs to be shut down and restarted, then the Jack routing patch reloaded - but that is infrequent), tho it took a long time to get here. Important hint: make an automator app to start everything in the right order, and don't try to automate the jack server stuff - that needs manual intervention to be controlled properly - ask me if you get that far!
