Hoe gaat het met jou broer! thats what i thought,i will not even get into it if its CPU hungry and not stable,ive been really happy using mobius stand alone and x ternal fx because its really stable that way,but id love to integrate software guitar FX and perhaps a groove box to sync to the loops and control everything with a midi pedal seems that Ableton would be the answer,dont know how stable it runs with mobius i dont know augustus loop though how does it compare to mobius? does anybody have recomendations on a cool groovebox plugin to integrate to a host that has automatic variations with perhaps lo-fi trip hop samples?
