Blondie, I'm sorry, the Ditto is probably not what you are looking for. It is a bare bones minimum device. Only one button, no persistent memory, no ability to download or save tracks, no quantization. It really is a basic looper--you make a loop and can layer on as many as you want. The recording length is I think 90 seconds (?) but I have never butted up against it or even close. I have always been against using tech at gigs, so this represented a big concession to me. I wanted to keep it pure as possible. I generally just use it for rumbas, laying down a vamp of a few bars and just improvising over it. I never even do multiple loops except when I'm practicing at home and my daughter wants to come and make funny noises with it! The very simplicity of the unit does encourage musicianship and creativity. One thing is that because it only has one button, to stop the loop, you have to double tap. It's a skill that has to be practiced! I have thought seriously about upgrading to the Boomerang so that I can have a "verse" loop and a "chorus" loop for more complex songs. For your needs, I think the Digitech Jamman Stereo might be better. It has a lot of features, can hold hours of CD quality jam tracks, has permanent storage, as well as being able to loop competently.
