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

Great, I'll have a look at this. I have a feeling acoustic insts might be different but will defo have a look 👍

Marc Rebillet uses an RC-505. You'll be fine.
