Just an afterthought. I will get myself an AKAI APC40 for working 
with Ableton in the studio, as well as live. I am already using 
most of my other gear to record samples into Live (Jomox,Xbase, 
Korg MS20, Virus arpeggiator, vocals, guitars, etc, etc...), and 
then work in Live towards the finished track.

Great way of working, and very flexible, especially since the new 
groove pool (AL8) and <Slice to new MIDI track> (AL7), and of 
course the awesome samplers that are included.. It really doesn't 
matter anymore if you might have recorded the wrong groove, the 
wrong speed, or if there are wrong notes in your loops - just 
edit them (away) in AL, and get on with your work :-)

have a nice weekend :-)
