using Acid Pro 4 in a live performance

["Tom Rex" <tomrex1@cox.net>]

does anyone use Acid Pro in live performances?  i've been experimenting 
with
it, and just sent these questions to their support.  i'm probably going to
buy Live, but it still doesn't support vst instruments.  any other 
thoughts?

i have several questions about using Acid Pro 4 in a live performance that 
i
couldn't find answers to:

1) how can i switch from one clip, say drum clips, to another and keep the
beat going?   i tried lining up several different tracks in the same 
looping
area amd muting all but one, but when i try to switch to another by muting
and un-muting, either two are playing, or none are playing.

2) i'm getting tired of using my mouse for everything in computer music, so
i have an evolution UC 33e midi control workstation on order, but it 
doesn't
seem to  have templates for Acid Pro.  you can make them up yourself, but i
couldn't find how to map the knobs and faders, etc to Acid Pro in it's help
documents.

3) can Acid Pro be used as a re-wire slave to Ableton Live, so i can use 
the
power of both.  i saw where it can be done the other way around.  Live does
work with the UC 33e.

4) Acid Pro is so powerful, and it seems to becoming more so, are there any
plans for a "Live" type interface?

5) when i click on  edit in Cubase.exe (in my case) under tools or the left
side of the tracks, Cubase comes up blank, but then what?  do i have to cut
and paste between them, or is it interactive?

thanks,

Tom
