I was searching online to make a looper to play live with ableton as a guitar looper. In that search almost everyone used a OSX newer version or windows version thanks to bome and midi yoke. That leave me without interest on ableton . The mix engine ofcubase,  Logic and protools is far superior. I had no need to use some tools or ableton while I know the tools I need to make it in Logic/PT.
It is not only ableton. Digital performer has something dark that make me not fully understand it as I understand Logic or Protools.

honestly jorge i think u should try ableton and put this 'looper' idea on the shelf for a bit at least untill
u realize a better understanding of the app itself..  ableton is just like cubase but with some amazing differences of being able to trigger your sequences "live" afterwards... meaning u can interact with the recorded parts that have already been recorded and "play" them to find new ways to arrange .. its more about "LIVE" remixing + arranging  by pressing buttons to switch between clips .. it definately lends itself more to electronic music.. but u can have this same approach to remixing an organic acoustic guitar performance to come up with some abstract results!

imagine being able to map your pre-recorded material in cubase to the QWERTY buttons on the keyboard and pressing them to switch the parts, ie to jump from chorus to intro and then to outro different segments + phrases of your song, at the touch of a button like a video game..
THIS IS WHAT LIVE IS... this looper idea that kid beyond made up is amazing but most people dont make music this way... where the actual producing of sounds is a seamless performance.. he took things to a new leevel there for sure but most people have no need to produce like this.. we have no problems taking a  piss + grabbng a snack inbetween parts HAHAHA:)
