The quality will only be affected by the plugins that you use,
not by the host that does the routing.

dunnow mate ;-) I never wanted to get a degree.
Hooking up the virtual patch cords in Bidule seems pretty
easy to me, connect anything to anything without ever opening a manual.


Doing the sync is thus:-
Right click(or mac equivalent) the unit you want synced, 
choose  "Sync to"
choose the master you'd like.

..but yes, Bidule is full of complicated features, and
rates zero for 3D rendered graphics.
