Oops, I forgot that right now I'm actually using Live as a "plug-in" to
Logic, running it as a ReWire slave. Normally I'm more interested in 
playing
music and making it up I go, improvising. But at the moment I'm producing a
bunch of recordings to go with a cd and then I have to plan things in
advance etc. I think Live is excellent as a kind of sketchboard for this.
When you have the major tracks recorded in Logic - like vocals, bass and a
simple drum track - just ReWire Live and use Live to browse your 
loop/sample
library for ideas. If library files are kept trancuated as full bars Live
will time-stretch correctly even for the preview function.
