Re: effective mobius,mixer and soundcard routing



Btw: the idea about the Motu ultralite-mk3 is good one, that seems a 
flexible and good audio card. I can get a Sound On Sound review if you 
want, just let me know.

Always fun to talk about designing flexible looping rigs! I would expect 
that what Luis wants should be possible but it’s seems not so easy. I’ve 
been investigating a 100% software rig too but correct me if I’m wrong, 
the problem has been and seems to be a flexible integration of the mixer, 
looper (pre/post FX) and the routing to the audio card. Plus I would like 
to see it working with a low CPU soft synth in a Mainstage like 
architecture. It would be fantastic to have something like this all in a 
small laptop. Imo, a disadvantage of this type of configurations is that 
you first have to invest a big amount of money before you can start trying 
it out without being sure it’s going to work. But things are constantly 
improving so I’m watching these threads closely.

An alternative combo I’m personally thinking of is the LP1, Line 6 M13 + a 
MFC. Yes, it’s hardware but the combined specs look very promising. The 
M13 has stereo FX send/returns and you can put your own external device 
(eg EDP or LP1) anywhere in the FX chain of the M13. So something like

pre-fx 1,2,3 => looper => post-fx or
pre-fx 1,2,3,4 => looper

is all be possible. By using the M13 scenes (setups) you can change the 
stomp box + FX send/return setup on the fly.
