Technical difficulties - looping

Post by analog103 » Thu May 26, 2011 4:06 pm

First post here! :oops:

I'm interested if I could use Ableton Live similar as my BOSS RC-2 looper (but with some added bonus) which would include:

- Starting a loop with a footswitch and stopping the loop with another one
- Hearing everything (the loop, the metronome and the signal) on the headphones but without the metronome on the output (so only the loop and the signal)?

*** with signal I mean whatever instrument/sound is currently played over the loop ***

What hardware would I need for that?

My soundcard is a Presonus FP-10. It has a MIDI input, can I use it for the footswitches? Or would I need a dedicated piece of hardware? Is this even possible? :roll: :lol:

Many many thanks!!!
