RE: newbie question on real-time computer looping
I just tried out Lexicon PSP42.. it looks pretty cool but I have no idea
how
it works. I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to use to
achieve the looping I'm trying to do.

I agree with wkramer1@students.depaul.edu that Ableton Live is cool.
But it only does static looping, ie you record a loop and the software
plays it back until you turn it off. I you want to do dynamic looping
you have to open some looping/delay plug-in on an Ableton Live channel
and use that plug-in to overdub layers of audio into the loop. The best
looping plug-in I have found so far is Augustus Loop (OS X only). There
is also the Lexicon PSP42, which is available for both Mac and PC but a
little more CPU intensive and not so packed with cool features as
Augustus Loop.
If you use an apple machine with OS X another cool combo is to open
Augustus Loop in Numerology.. Numerology is a modular step sequencing
software and when looping audio you can make use of the step sequences
to set up patterns for filters, pitch etc of the loops. You can pretty
much design your own "audio effect processor" and it can all be run in
beat sync.
