Setup feasibility/advice

[pointfive]

I'm putting together a setup to use Sooperlooper in a live setting, and would like some feedback on whether my expectations are reasonable. Here's my plan:



I've been using a Boss RC-20 for some years, and am upgrading my setup to address the limitations I've encountered. Some important things I need this setup to do:

1) Be able to hear a click track in the headphones/monitor out ONLY. (for my drummer, mostly)
2) Begin playback of the initial loop immediately, with no delay (my RC-20 will "hiccup" as it quickly calculates the tempo).
3) Fade a given loop out (just on/off is no good).
4) Not crap out in the middle of a show.

Can someone offer some advice about whether I'll be able to do these things with this setup, and give any advice about the setup I'm planning to use. I have more detailed questions but I'll save them for later. Thanks so much!

Nice plan

1) You know JACK? I think you can route anything where you want to. For a click you can use different apps, for example Ardour has a 'click' metronome, I think rosegarden etc. Or you could use klick http://wiki.linuxmusicians.com/doku.php ... ions#klick

2) (?) I think you would use Sooperlooper or freewheeling for it? Check also:

3) see 2
4) no that's not what you want, all though there is always a risk for it.
