RE: LIVE at Winter NAMM and LA party

Thank you Neil
it always sounds great when we read about it.
then when you try, you realize for example that the tempo tap has to 
be done before the recording, so you need a metronome or a very good 
time feeling to play exactly into the timing you just tapped - which 
throws me back to the troubles I got rid off in '92...
... or it may be smarter than that? a "real" Record function? Maybe 
by creating a MIDI  command for Tap+StartRecord and Tap+StopRecord?

so it continuously streches the existing loops when you tap a new tempo?
That would be great!

>- Tempo tapping
>- Ability to bypass time-stretching for individual clips or recordings

so you can do polyrhythms?

>New Comprehensive Studio Tool
>- Easy, tape-style multitrack recording with punch in / out and metronome
>- Super-fast arranger navigation

I wonder if that allows some easy layering like the EDP Multiply function?

>- Better handling of non-looping clips

so we can record the solos?

>- Improved automation handling and editing for fast parameter access
>
>Smarter Jamming
>- Relative Session Mapping

I wonder what those mean for our kind of use...

So, maybe, someone can find out more at NAMM...
