I probably wouldn't use loops much if I didn't have the Launchpad. So when I load a session, I don't use Ableton much and launch/stop loops with that. Ahh that makes sense.

Jacob,

Good points. I had a friend that had a really great and funny screensaver that became a problem when it was broadcast on Live nationwide tv and someone snuck up to shut the computer screen… Very funny though!

I actually use spaces as well and expose, but I know alot of people that have gotten into very hairy situations accidentally switching into another space, and not realizing it and not ending a loop on time etc.

Good thoughts though!

I use CMD+[Arrow key] to switch. And I switch often between the two during service.<br><br>Also, screensavers can be distracting, which worship, of all places, is not a place to be distracted in. When our bass player told me how he couldn't help but watch it (I had had a really cool screensaver), that's when I realized I should turn it off during services.

Dropbox is such a great tool for collaboration, I haven't thought of it from the audio backup aspect. It's even more efficient then a thumb drive, and keeps everything in sync across all places. And you brought up a great point with streaming via the ios devices. Great..great thoughts! Lyndon,

DropBox (<a href="http://getdropbox.com" rel="nofollow">getdropbox.com</a>) is an amazing, full-featured cloud storage service that works seamlessly with Macs. In fact, it acts like a local folder... it's that simple to use (WARNING: because it behaves like a local folder, when you drag a file out of a DropBox folder and onto, say, your desktop, that file has literally been moved, not copied). So, #1, simplicity.<br><br>Reason #2 - DropBox also has free iOS apps. Not only can you access them from the iOS devices, you can play media from within the app. It doesn't provide as much control as the built-in iTunes, but our team has used that media player in a pinch a few times.<br><br>Reason #3 - It is very simple to create shared folders. Share the folder full of loops or other audio assets (or lyric sheets) with others in the group or the sound techs. If you get stopped by a train or do the Good Samaritan deed and stop to change the tire for the damsel in distress, the loops are accessible to your mates.
