SooperLooper Mainstage and Max/Msp from sam_square on Vimeo.

This shows you the ins and outs of setting up a live performance system with some nifty software called SooperLooper, midi patchpay, max/msp and MainStage. SooperLooper and Midi Patchbay are shareware and freeware respectively. Nuff said. Substitute your DAW for MainStage.

The specific config I show is on MAC/Linux, but you can do the same thing in windows with mobius. Working this way is just too much fun after years in a stuffy old DAW.
