the answer to that is Multi-Client midi drivers.... Microsoft XP default drivers are not multi-client, so only one program can use the driver at a time. My stuff is from Evolution and luckily they released a multi-client driver to replace Microsoft's, so now I can use my UC/33, UC/16 and MK249C2 in many programs at the same time.

kid is definitely using and caring about the tempo. he had his metronome sound as a vocal tish-tish-tish-tish breathy sound, and has that play through the mains and then records other loops on top of that until you can't really hear it anymore. I prefer to use headphones to monitor the click for my duo's live looping performances. There is a ton of info on these forums about live looping with Live, use the search function to find a bunch of threads on this. Here are some good ones:

rc-20 won't help you with Live, but you could sell it to by the 1010 (I sold mine after it gathered dust once I bought Live)
