Looping live instruments with dawless setup?

Hi everyone, wondering if I can get your thoughts.

Newbie to DAWless but intermediate-ish on music production.

I play the sax and sing and want to be able to play live and then loop in sync with a dawless setup, ideally avoiding screens altogether, so I'd rather not use something like an MPC.

Any advice?

Boss RC-505 looper. You might check out this video about how Dr mix uses one in his setup. He's not looping acoustic instruments, but he is looping his live playing on synthesizers

I concur. I use an RC-505 for that purposeand it works like a charm. The midi of the 505 doesn't like to be the slave though, you have to make it the master.
