Re: Möbius glitches

I've been using Mobius for a few months now on an older laptop. I've got 
this compaq m300, 600mhz with 384 mb ram,a 60 gig hard drive, and running 
windows xp. At Jeff's suggestion I optimized it for using with audio ( 
http://www.musicxp.net/tuning_tips.php ) and I'm also not running any 
other 
programs on it. So it is just my looper now. I've run into very few and 
minor glitches and have used it in a few shows now. I did run into some 
latency problems at first trying to use it as a vst plugin, but as a stand 
alone looper I've been extremely pleased with it. The transition to using 
it has been real easy since it is set up like my edp. At the moment the 
thing I'm enjoying the most is that instead of overdubbing layers onto my 
edp, I can put my layers on individual tracks and let them fade out at 
different rates with the feedback control. I can also pan individual 
tracks 
to either side and have a "conversation" going between my guitar and 
hammered dulcimer tracks.

This is just way too much fun, it may cost me my day job as I stay up too 
late playing with the thing.

Thanks Jeff for some amazing software!!!
