Hi Louie, The sync update of Live happened long ago. It doesn't help for the audio artifacts that appears in slave sync mode. Maybe I should have called it "a fidelity issue" instead? ;-) To repeat: when running Live synced to MIDI clock a lot of changes you do by external MIDI control creates cracks and pops in the audio. I didn't want that so I moved on to set up the same rig in Biule. It worked fine (better actually) until the very last stage where Bidule just crashed (maybe a memory issue?). Finally I built the same rig in Mainstage 2.2 yesterday and it is turned out to be the best application for my needs (which is extensive Mobius live looping, setting the temp by first loop catching in Mobius, host application following Mobius' tempo by internal (IAC Bus) MIDI Clock. Host loaded with lots of tempo dependent effects, a synth channel, two mono audio inputs, a stereo audio inputs and two effect aux tracks with "playable" effects.) That's my general bare bones report that I hope will help some folks to spend less time in the tech pit and more time making music.
