I can't tell how helpful this thread has been to me as I'm looking into picking up a two hands tapping instrument (doing a little pilot test tapping here with a modified electric guitar to prepare my right hand for th... |

| I just discovered this guy on YT last week and and swooped all his videos many times around. He plays great and the pieces I like the most are those he does on the BearTrax. Seems he changes the tuning between songs quite a bit on that instrument? |

| Would there be any reason to get a Firewire 800 interface like a FireFace? Would that help with latency? Firewire doesn't really help the normal AD/DA latency (the time it takes to convert an analog signal to digital at the input and back again at the output). I run my Macbook with a 128 samples bu... |

| The latest version of Ableton also features a live looper. Not sure how it compares with Superlooper or Mobius? I've tried all three and got the impression that Sooperlooper can do what Live's Looper can and a lot more while Mobius can do all that and even more. What Mobius brings extra are (1) opt... |
