| Phillip, that's right, point 2 is also correct, it does give some clips once in a while..
You would think this isn't such a big issue to fix, but I can after Live 7 things got very buggy at Ableton HQ, and I have the feeling they are still catching up... Old versions ran sooo smooth..

Looper doesn't crossfade at loop end/start so it's very difficult to prevent clicks (impossible if you're playing something continuous like ebowed guitar or whatnot). 2. Activating the device causes pops, clicks and other weirdness. I've not noticed sync issues but I'm prepared to believe it! The first issue is a pretty bad feature oversight, the latter is a pretty bad bug. All this has been mentioned many times on their forums. Other than these problems it's a great little device (the native routing options are particularly fantastic). We can only hope that if/when Live 9 ever comes along it'll be sorted out properly. Of course, you can loop in Live without 'Looper' but that itself has limitations; it's difficult to undo/redo, etc. It's meant for playing with pre-recorded loops, live (not live looping!). One nice feature of the Looper is that you can drag and drop a loop you've recorded into it straight into Live's 'clip view' as a normal clip and you can then jam with it that way. Great for improvisation-fueled recording and saving ideas for later. This discussion has reminded me that I need to give Mobius another shot! (At least until Ableton get their acts together.)

I've been using the build in looper from Ableton the last year.. I got
like 9 running at the same time (Keys1, Keys2, Drums, Bass, Guitar 1,
Guitar 2, Vocals 1, Vocals 2, Vocals 3). But when I do an action, record
or overdub, the whole mix get's a bit of a hickup...
Maybe I should give Mobius one more try...

Also check the sample rate setting of Live and your soundcard. If set
to anything else than 44.1 kHz Mobius will cause trouble.

Set Mobius to the host sync you want to use. There is "host bar" and
"host beat". Also check your settings under Mobius Track Setup
regarding outputs. If not using separate track outputs there should be
no more issues in that department but if setting Mobius to coax out
loops over separate track outputs you need to hook up appropriate Live
tracks' input slots to fetch these streams. Finally, also check the
MIDI control of Mobius and of Live. For me the most stable has proven
to be to disable all Mobius targetig MIDI passing through Live. What I
do instead is to go into Mobius preferences and tell the looper to
listen directly to the MIDI port I'm plugging my MIDI foot controller
into. So Live doesn't even know Mobius has a pirate line of its own to
snag external info. (another approach here would be to set up a MIDI
track in Live to pipe the external control MIDI into the Mobius plugin
- but why bothering with all that when you don't need to?)
I suspect you are using conflicting settings in one or many of those
areas. Hope you get it going soon!
I've been playing here all day with Mobius

Anyone know why loading up Mobius in an audio track of Live 8 would crash
Live? I get some window that there was a serious error, and Live shuts
down.
Do I need to configure Mobius in some way or fashion as a standadone
before
I attempt to load it in Live?
