Rax and Augutstus Loop seems to be a good combo for "multi track" stereo looping. If you like to loop EDP-style, by setting the tempo by the first loop you record, you can use one Augustus Looper as the master to define the tempo for all other Agustus Loopers. In this context you may set Rax to "external sync", so any plug-ins you open will run in the same tempo as you are playing in. You can also type in the tempo in Rax and adapt your playing to that. I can't find any Tap Tempo function in Rax. If you want to be a little more advanced you can use the combo Ableton Live and Augustus Loop. This has always been very stable for me on my Powerbook and thanks to Live's routing option - for MIDI, Audio and direct control data - it gives a small taste of "Max Land" (Cycling74's Max). I have a G4 Powerbook of 1.25 MHz with 2 GB ram. This machine may typically handle three parallel stereo looping channels plus some reverb and other effect plug-ins. I wouldn't dare to bog it down more than that. But it's ok with me, I don't think I would be able to handle more than three simultaneous looping processes anyway.
