Re: Live vs Bidule



When I started doing live looping I assumed that I needed to use Live. But 
I struggled with it for quite some time, and eventually tried Bidule 
(which is what I currently use). Live by itself is not a very good live 
looper, IMO. You'l still need a VST looper plugin.  At that point, one 
might easily view Live as a lot of overhead for nothing. I prefer Bidule 
because it's based on the idea of patchable components, so I can patch 
together exactly what I need, and nothing extra. Live straddles the line 
between performance software and a full-blown DAW.

A workflow I've found to be really powerful is to do the looping in 
Bidule/Mobius, and afterwards pull the various Mobius loop clips in to 
Live for arrangement/mixing. I am having a major blast working like this!

Subject: Live vs Bidule

in simple terms, what is the reason for you as a livelooper to use Ableton
Live compared to programs like Audiomulch and Bidule? or vice versa, or 
does
anyone use both?
