Re: A guy redesigned Live's interface
It looks nice, but at the end of the day, will it help me write music faster? Will it spark creativity? I'd rather see a full touchscreen-capable interface than new colors.

Re: Surface Laptop: 1.6 pounds and real damn fast
That was a nice three page discussion on the "Surface Laptop" Op, How does the surface work with Live? Do you get any audio drop outs? At least it didn't devolve into a Mac/PC debate. Yet. Only tech bloggers have been hands-on with the device, so I can't speak to its performance. I think given the ...

Surface Laptop: 1.6 pounds and real damn fast
http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/6/9454051/microsoft-surface-laptop-announced-specs-price-release-date The "twice as fast as a Macbook" might be a bit of hyperbole, but either way this is an impressive bit of kit. Two USB 3.0 ports, which means it doesn't suffer from the only-one-goddamn-port problem...

Re: Beatstep Pro impressions
I've been digging the device too after living with the Beatstep Pro for a few weeks now. Here are some brief thoughts: Rather than using it to sequence outboard gear - which is an awesome use case - I'm using it only to send MIDI into Ableton. Monophonic sequencing can be a bit limiting for certain ...

Re: Invest in Serum?
+1 on beats me's Syntorial recommendation. Per his advice I've worked through most of the free lessons...it's really good shit!

That's a sweet concept. Have you used it much yourself?

Re: anyone got a softstep 2?
I know, right? Dammit why can't Roland just update the FCB with modern materials? It would sell like hotcakes.

Re: anyone got a softstep 2?
Bump! I also have an FCB and am considering a Sofstep 2. From what I've read it's much improved; the buttons are more user-friendly (i.e. easier to tap the one you want without inadvertent taps on other buttons), and the original nightmare of an editor has been improved - although there's still a le...

Re: Arrangement Videos
Tom Cosm has some nice videos where you're essentially a fly on the wall as he produces a track. He tends to work in the arrangement view rather than starting with clips, but you'll probably find some inspiration from watching how he tackles things. https://www.youtube.com/user/cosmcosm

Re: The Akai Advance. Anyone got one yet?
Yeah, it's a shame eh? Their hardware is pretty solid. If only they took a little more time to create good scripts for the abes.

The Akai Advance. Anyone got one yet?
It's getting some good initial reviews, but I'm curious how it integrates with Live. The MPK2 series' remote script left something to be desired; for example, blue-hand macro mapping was a complete fail. The VST wrapper approach is badass, but the Advance's cool factor would be diminished somewhat i...

Re: Backpack For Gear?
I've been eyeing the Tom Binh Synapse 25: http://www.tombihn.com/PROD/TB0111.html Looks like it has a lot of room, and is built like the proverbial brick shithouse - plus optional padding for a laptop and lots of extra compartments to store cables, weed, and other detritus of being a musician. Plus ...

Re: So, how long have YOU been using Ableton Live?
My first experience with Live was around 2006/2007. Reason was my gateway drug into production. Once I discovered Ableton I never looked back. My first DAW was an old windows program called N-track way back in the late-90's. I remember being frustrated with the learning curve in Ableton. One of the ...
