Next Sequence is dope for testing what sequence you want to play next without having to put them in Song Mode, just press Next Sequence and after the current sequence plays the next will e.g. intro to hook or to verse or whatever the sequence is you want played next. Just basically trying arrangement ideas is what I use it for and just recently discovered its and it’s great. I learnt what Next Sequence did by accidentally pressing the button and caught on to what it was doing and been using it ever since. Some people won’t use it if they already have it in their head how they want their arrangement.

Having the volume knob on the top protects it from getting snagged on things when coupled with a Decksaver vs having it on the back while in the backpack. That track mute button is life! And the speaker got a lot more use from me than I initially thought. You didn’t mention that the Live2 has a 1/4” headphone jack vs the 1/8” on the Live. That was a much needed update that I hope will make it into their next portable release. I’ll say this, you never really know what you’re going to need until that need arrives. In that moment whatever that is you’ll have it with the Live 2.

[@LiftedNoise]

@ILLUDIUM_Q_36 I didn't think of it at the moment but I do like the 1/8th it would be nice I'd they included both 1/8 & 1/4 Jack's. The sp 404 mk2 has both. I like throwing in a pair if in ears sometimes.

I thought about going the route of the original Live as well. But decided to stick with the Live 2 retro. I find that I actually use the speakers more than I thought I would. Though I'm not a fan of the add weight the speakers add to the overall device. I find that I am more productive when I remove the friction points of having to make physical connections. Working completely in stand alone is where it's at for me. Keep up the good work.
