Hi Per, Thought Id get back to you to thank you and your frieds on the site for your help. I have sussed the looping OK ! However I now have another problem: progressive latency as I am now running my main mix into Ableton LIVE before it reaches the the audience! I suspect I will have to get a decent audio interface rather than using the MacPros I/O Have tried going in digitally from the KORG KRONOS via optical into the Mac- makes no difference. I suspect that coming out analog is the main culprit. Anyway I was just wondering how any of you guys avoid this latency when running through ABLETON LIVE and if a Firewire 800 unit like the MOTU 828 Mk" or the RME 800 would be the obvious solution to this problem? Audio path: I run all my synths/external drums from a bus on the analog mixer into a track on Ableton either using its LOOPER plugin or its straight forward auto input record function making sure of course that the track is muted once the loop plays back in either instance. My mixer has a ":' alternate bus rooting fortunately that allows me to reroot the returned signal from Ableton avoiding feedback: I actually send the signal via the main bus out on the mixer and reroot the return out of the alt3/4 bus which feeds the P.A. BTW please forgive my rude interuption but I dont quite understand the format of your forum yet!.. as I understand it its all via email no? Thanks!
