Re: Live vs Bidule

[andy butler <akbutler@tiscali.co.uk>]

Ableton for looping,
Bidule for LiveLooping

For playing pre-recorded clips, Ableton is prefered,
and then it's possible to liveloop within it as well.



Bidule is more for live use, though it wouldn't be difficult
to record and mix with it.

..being a Bidule user (tho' only for testing, not live work) 
I find it incredibly easy to use. 
The routing is achieved by dragging virtual cables from one "device" to 
another,
so for chaining up vst-plugins (au too on mac) there's no learning curve 
at all.

Bidule implements time sync between vst plugins in a way that no other 
host does.
You can sync any plugin to any other plugin with complete freedom.
(works too!)

and Bidule's cheaper.
hope that's not too much info about Bidule
