I'll record the whole track into the computer, set the loop to the first
bar and then go through it one bar at a time adjusting the cue points to
match the track measures. For stripped down dancefloor tracks it takes less
than a minute. For melodic and vocal bits I set the cues to a repeating
downbeat or sound. There's alot of room for creativity in live sampling
with Live, but I think the more common use of the software is to map out
your tempos before hand and during a live mix focus on starting and
stopping loops and tracks, changing the start and end points and offsets of
looped sections, and adjusting eqs and FX sends. It may seem like mapping
the tempos before hand is a copout, but the cue points can be used as a
flexible tempo reference for your whole mix rather than just a tool for
locking pre-programmed loops in step. There is still alot of room for
developing and displaying skills as well as making mistakes. Plus your
entire mix is saved non-destructively so you could go in and correct your
mixes afterwards if you were to distribute it as a mix cd ( you can tell I
didn't do that in the mix I posted). Hope that helps.

A question about how you did the mix in Live (I've been playing around with
this a bit lately.)
Did you pitch-shift the records as you recorded them into Live or did you do
this inside of Live?
The reason I ask is that my attempts to do the pitchshifting in Live have
all sounded like total crap-- especially melodic and vocal bits. Though I
must say that I'm using a pretty old version of Live.
