Newbie question: Midi Mobilizer vs OSC

Post by 4am »

Hi
I'm completely new to Lemur, and apologize for the basic question, I did some search on the board but didn't find the information I'm looking for.
I have an iPad 1, Midi Mobilizer II, Ableton Live 8 with Max (Win XP), and an iPhone (that I'm not even sure I will use).
I've read that OSC offers advantages in terms of latency and resolution compared to midi.
At least until now, I tend to prefer real cables to wifi connections, I would use the Lemur to control Ableton Live during Live PA's and reliability is vital to me.
Would the use of OSC possibly cause problems during shows? Is it possible that the wifi connection gets disturbed by other gear on stage?
I've even stopped using my wireless mouse for this reason, and the amount of data transmitted between the iPad and the computer is more important when using Lemur, so I'm really unsure.
I have already a Midi Mobilizer, and seems to work very reliable for the moment.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
am.
