Just a hint to Mark that talked about the problem with sync out when  
staying on the first track (sync track). I too was frustrated with  
the need to switch track before laying down the second loop (in order  
to keep synced VST sequencers etc instantly going), so I wrote the  
script below to automatically switch track when I press Next Loop. I  
also expanded it to copy the first loop from Track 1 into Track 2  
while muting Track 1. The point is that you leave the Sync Track  
(here Track 1) muted for the rest of the session, so it can carry on  
being the Sync Track whatever trashing  and mangling you do to the  
other tracks as you go. You can even delete all other track's loops  
and still have the sync in perfect shape - driving VST drum  
sequencers etc.

(I use a little different version of the script, since I run Mobius  
in Expert Performance Mode, to take advance of Secondary Feedback. If  
anyone else also uses Expert Mode I'd be happy to share the full  
script).
