Here's a short video of me messing around with looping in Ableton. I'm using the Novation Launchpad to trigger loop recording which means I have to take my fingers off the strings. Hopefully I'll get a midi pedal board soon.

Nice looping. I've been using Live with another instrument. If you have an iPad, look at the app 'Touchable'. It allows total control of Live. I have it affixed to a mic stand which makes it easy to reach while playing.

Nice. Took me a few moments to realize you're playing a Stick Bass (I think) - I think this is the first video I've seen featuring one of those.
Very cool, thanks for sharing!!

We can ear that you have fun with this improv...congrats.

I've used Touchable in the past but then started using Lemur more. Then I abandoned all iPad based controllers because I really missed feeling what I was doing. There something important to me about the tactile nature of a knob, fader, or button.

However I might go back and check Touchable out again. It's been a few revisions since I last looked.

Thanks for the tip.

Yep. You can see my mid-eighties classic Stick in the background, but the Stick Bass has turned out to be much more *me* than I suspected.

Really enjoyed your playing and facility on the instrument… nice groove too!
