Well I gave up and just started using garageband. I actually like it better since it makes it simple and I am able to record my own samples with just the push of a button. Here's a sample of what I'm doing thus far. I've messed around with it enough that I'm pretty sure that I can pull it off live even though garageband is complete garbage as far as a live preformance is concerned. Tell me what you think.
