There should not be any sound if do not have "Monitor Audio Input"
enabled in Mobius. Path: "Configuration/Global Parameters".

However, my preferred solution is different. I create - in Mainstage
on concert level - an aux channel with input "Bus 1" an output "Main".
And I keep Mobius set to no audio through, only mangled loopse is
coming out from Mobius. That way my instrument's live input sound is
cloned into two paths: one going into Mobius (to maybe get looped) and
the other passing directly to the output. The technical reason for
this choice is that I run the Mobius output through first a low cut
filter and then a tape delay plugin. The low cut filter is needed
because I mangle loops a lot and if a layer is overdubbed when a loop
is transposed up by two octave it can easily blow the PA speakers if
that loop later is played transformed two octaves down ;-))  And the
tape delay is used for dub style effet tweaking and when I do that I
don't want the slaps on my live instrument when playing against the
dub stuff.
