What is the best live looping program for Mac? Preferably something that can loop midi input (for drums) and audio inputs (for guitars). Ableton is hard.

I have been working a mashup album and I finally finished it tonight. It is almost an hour long with 36 different tracks (I made the album as a whole, not by individual track). I split each track manually in Live, encoded it to v0, then loaded it into iTunes only to find about half of my tracks have a slight amount of silence at the beginning and end. Here is an image comparing my mp3 to the original wav:  I tried encoding in both Max and iTunes at both CBR and VBR and it always gives me the same result.  I looked at waveforms of Hood Internet and Girl Talk tracks but they don't seem to have the same problem. What am I doing wrong?

baka kaba posted:How long's the gap? If we're talking a few milliseconds is could just be an issue with MP3 as a format, I think it's divided into frames of a fixed length and if your song ends partway through a frame it has to fill the rest with silence. I'm not sure you can get guaranteed gapless playback with MP3s anyway, so there could always be a click depending on what people are playing it back on. LAME writes some gapless info so you could try encoding with that instead, it might help some people to play it back without gaps. Yeah, it's just some milliseconds but it appears to be the same amount on each file. I was under the impression that Max encoded with LAME but I'll try and give another program a try. Any recommendations for Mac?
