Re: Live vs Repeater

["Kevin Goldsmith" <kevin-ml@unitcircle.com>]

I've used both Live and the Repeater in a few different kinds of 
situations.  I think that the Repeater is still superior in the improv / 
ease of use situations, but live is definitely more powerful.

If you were going to be playing an instrument and controlling pre-recorded 
loops, I'd say use Live.  If you were going to be playing an instrument 
and recording loops live, I'd say that you definitely want a repeater.

If you aren't going to be playing an instrument, then you'll probably be 
better off with Live.
