Re: Mobius on Windows vs. SooperLooper on Linux

I have only tried SoolerLooper in the AU plug-in version for OS X and  
that's probably not the same as the Linux vesion. But I have been  
using Mobius a lot lately and can only say that it's working  
perfectly over here. I also own an EDP and have been using the  
Electrixpro Repeater. I prefer Mobius because of the stereo recording  
and the option of running many parallel loops in a poly rhythm context.

Never have any crashes at all with Mobius. But nothing ever crashes  
on that laptop anyway. I do not use it for mail, photoshop or  
anything. It is dedicated for audio. And it is a machine that does  
meet the specs suitable for audio work. I'm running XP pro, also set  
for audio work. Link tip: http://www.musicxp.net/

Not an issue. Mobius compensates for that when looping.

I don't understand this question? "Speed"? If you mean "booting up  
time" that's about a second for Mobius.

Maybe a rack mountable PC would do the trick? But then there is also  
the screen to take care of. I prefer to keep hardware in a rack and a  
laptop in a safe backpack. The laptop connects through USB MIDI and  
FW audio cable when setting up the rig.
