Excellent write-up, Kevin! We need people, now and then, taking the  
time to put the pieces together and give us the big picture.

Just one comment on the above: Some software loopers do compensate  
well for latency. Myself I have only done deep testing of Mobius in  
this regard and I can truly say that this Windows looper does it  
perfectly well. When looping on Mac I tend to make  a different kind  
music that doesn't need the timing that typically gets ruined by  
latency.
