Thanks a lot Per and Loren, I will try your suggestions in the next days and post the results later on. I think that working with Mobius is my best bet. I have another question, which came to me after I was working on this virtual guitar quartet idea: I have four different loop tracks in Sooperlooper, I want them to work as independent instruments, as in a real guitar quartet. What I'm trying to achieve is recording the first loop (a 4 bar loop, for example), then, as soon as I finish recording it, I hit record on the second loop, while the first one starts looping at the same time. Then the same thing with the third and fourth loops, each time I press REC on a new track, the previous track starts looping. The result is the same as in overdubbing, but this way I would have 4 independent tracks that could be muted, erased, reversed etc... Any thoughts on this?
