I was just trying live Rewired into bidule just last night, and I think there are some great possibilities, but two thoughts for improving it came immediately to my head.
1. Taking audio from live into bidule for subsequent processing is great, but it would be equally great to input audio to bidule, process it and then SEND it to live for recording/looping. I'm guessing this would require reversing the roles of master and slave. I know live can do both, but bidule currently can act only as a master. Now if you could have both master and slave modules in bidule, and if live could function as both at the same time so that you could SEND audio to, and RETURN audio from live at the same time, kinda like an effects loop, whoo boy!
2. Apparently you can not run VST effects in live while in Rewire slave mode, at least according to a dialog box I received from live while trying to do this. I'm curious if this is because of live, bidule, the VST spec or the Rewire spec. I know that you can work around this either by processing post-Rewire in bidule, or by resampling the effected loops in live. But if you already have the plugs, presets, automation info etc. in your live projects, it would be a bit of a pain to have to recreate all that through other means.
