Boss LoopStation and its ilk
Discussion
Anybody using any looping kit or software?
Seen them in use a few times and can really see me using it a bit, but I'm not sure of what features I'm looking for and how much I have to spend. I would prefer a hardware solution, perhaps with foot pedals, but a tabletop or software version would do (if the latter would run on comparatively slow PCs!)
I'm looking for something that will work happily with mic and line level inputs. Whenever I see somebody using one live they don't have headphones on, but how do you not end up with feedback loops when laying down a new track over stuff that is already looping?
I'm primarily interested in "live" looping - so ability to add layers and then switch between different sets of loops (or patterns if you are from a soundtracker background
) is pretty important - maybe adding/muting/deleting layers on the fly.
Would also want to use it as a straight multitracker if possible.
Am I asking the impossible? Happy to spend a couple of hundred if necessary but prefer to keep it below that.

Boss RC300 should do it. Never has any problems with boss/roland when it comes to live work.

Boss RC300 it's supposed to be one of the best.
Another very good one is the Pigtronix Infinity and the Boomerang III. I am currently thinking of picking up the Pigtronix as part of a live set up (midi synced electronic music)
