Using a Guitar Looper with Sequencers & Grooveboxes in a Live Performance
I am using a Boss Rc 600 to create guitar loops in a live performance . Is it better to keep my groovebox and synth/drum sequencer synced but independent to my looper, or to run everything into the looper and create loops for each sound?

(I'm not a guitarist, but do this with keyboards)
The way I approach my looper is to think of it being 'alongside' my system. I'll keep it synced with the rest of my rig, and I will send signals to it, but I can bring it in and out as I see fit.
If I have other gear running then they don't need to be sent to the looper, and the looper doesn't need to dedicate resources to supporting them. That means more available looping tracks and no worries about hitting 'all clear' in the middle of a piece and losing the whole backing!
So in answer to your question I would keep everything synced, but separate.
