Would anyone care to comment on the relative advantages and disadvantages of using Ableton Live! as opposed to Native Instruments Intakt (plus, say, ProTools as a sequencer) for working with loops?

If nobody has experience using both, I'd still be interested in others' opinions of the strengths / weaknesses of each..

Of course, if there's something better than either, I'd like to hear about that, too.

I've searched and lurked, but don't yet feel like I know enough... Thanks in advance.

Ableton Live is deffinately the better of the two choices. I have both, but I'll admit i rarely use intakt. As far as i can tell Live does everything intakt can do plus more. You can sequence as many loops as your processor can handle. You get effects. With Live 4 you can run VST (or so I understand I don't have it yet). It has much better time stretching abilities.
Actually overall there really isn't much of a comparison. Live can just do much more than intakt. In addition to all the normal loop processing stuff it can record audio, and sequence. Sure you can map loops to the keyboard in intakt, but you can do that in Live too. So, of the 2 I'd deffinately have to go with Live.
Most people tho use Live in addition to simething like Protools.
