Re: Quick vid of random shuffle with Mobius - Double Bass Loopage

I do miss the sound of the logic plugs versus the live plugs. I did try 
bidule a few times on OSX so I think I might try to get it running on the 
Win7 side tonight. I keep forgetting about that option! I own a license so 
it can't hurt to try. You told me a few years back that if I use the audio 
switcher object that only the selected chain uses the cpu right? Right now 
in Live I've been limiting myself 10 effects chains because they all use 
the cpu whether I've selected the effect chain or not. 
Now that I think of it though I don't have individual EQ and compressor 
plugs to get my looping setup copied over into Bidule. Thats the nice 
thing about Live and Mainstage is all the included plugs. I'll do some 
research and see if there are some decent ones that aren't too expensive.
