Great that you have a working looping system going. I used Win XP before Mainstage came around and I found it better with Bidule + Mobius than OSX. Vista was bad but Win 7 is good for audio I keep hearing from people. I also think Ableton Live allows you do do a lot of live processing of your live input signal that isn't possible in Mainstage. I personally stick with Mainstage because I can make it sound better than Live (used Live for many years in the past). I just incorporated StutterEdit into my setup now, inserted after Mobius, processing the looper output plus delay/reverb/harmonizer effects of my live instrument input. StutterEdit is the first step sequencer driven plugin I have seen that actually doesn't cause Mainstage problems. With Windows lappies becoming stronger and ridiculously inexpensive I'm tempted to set up a backup looping system with Bidule and Mobius. The more gigs I'm getting these days the more annoyed I'm feeling not having a backup system handy. When I was a touring guitarist I always had two guitars on stage, anything else was regarded stupid and ignorant to the venue and the artist project you were hired by. I use a non system dependent iLook for important plugin licenses and my non iLook licensees cover both Mac and Windows versions. I wish I could keep all my licensees on the iLook because then I could just pick up any laptop to loop within minutes.
