The thing is that, on the same laptop, Mainstage crashes several times a day, Bidule is running OK, as well as Native Instruments Kore2. Ableton Live has been the most stable of all the last 2 months, it has never crashed, not a single time. The strange thing is that Mainstage has been reasonably stable for about 6 months. I have the impression that the problems have begun with OSX 10.6 and Mainstage 2.1 and above. Anyway, Mainstage is over and out as long as I haven't re-installed my laptop. I already too many hours in trying to reproduce the problems and solve them but I have stopped spending time on it. All I can say is that any combination of OSX, Motu drivers, Mobius and Mainstage has failed on my Macbook. > seems that Ableton would be the answer,dont know how stable it runs >with mobius I don't know how it runs in combination with Mobius, haven't tested it yet and won't test it because I use too little features of Mobius.

Augustus is a tape delay with very little functions you'll find in an high end looper such as an EDP, LP1 or Mobius. You can't really compare them, they are 2 completely different beasts. But for my Ambient projects, Augustus Loop is an excellent choice and good enough for me: it's really stable and reliable, good analog and tape delay emulation, and has all the basic functions I use, such as pitch -12 ..+12 , reverse, filters, midi sync, delay times up to 3600 seconds, tap length / tap record, freeze loop, clear loop. I use 2 or 3 instances simultaneously but unsynced so that makes it a relatively easy looper system. However, you can sync multiple instances of Augustus and setup a sort of multi-track looper but keep in mind that you're using a tape delay emulation effect rather than a full featured looper such as Mobius. -- Sjaak Overgaauw http://premonitionfactory.com/ http://livelooping.be/
