OK - this is cool stuff. I appreciate the insights. My only issue is that I need a lot of flexibility with the length of my songs and parts... My improvisational style and nature will not allow for fitting every song into an exact number of loops... I will see what I can do. Maybe your answers will ...

I didn't think so...

I am trying to do something that I think should be simple, but I am having trouble. Here's the simple test: Remember, use a looper to set the tempo for each song.
