The next two videos show you how to achieve this result.

Hi Sam,
Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your videos. I perform live-looped music for a living using hardware-based effects and a Boss RC-50. I’ve been looking into a Mac setup that will give me more flexibility and I think this may be the route I take. Keep the vids coming!
