This is from yesterday's CES convention here in Las Vegas. Music for this event, including our live band, was edited and mixed entirely in Ableton Live.

Both excellent questions.

The quoted phrase is keeping in line with standard job descriptions for similar positions on other Cirque shows which, up until a few years ago, did include hardware samplers as well as software samplers for some shows - though this show does not use hardware samplers.

I have been working on the LOVE show since the beginning in 2005, and had the pleasure to work closely with Sir George Martin and Giles Martin, who won 2 Grammys on the soundtrack to this show, in the process of using the original multitracks of the Beatles masters.

This is an excellent position ...

I found out there were a few external linked samples in the project. Once I did Collect and Save, I was suddenly unable to reproduce the problem. I now am observing no performance difference between the samples in Arrangement View being warped, or unwarped ...

Thanks!

I deleted all VST plug-ins and most Sampler tracks, got the projeect down to 900MB of RAM usage. Still had the audio glitches, predictably whenever I changed tempo in Session View.

After deleting *almost* (80-90%) of ...

I found out how to avoid the problem, but not the cause of it.

To sum up: I have one very large (20GB) session, with audio tracks and Sampler instances in both Arrangement and Session view (but I'm playing in Session only). All audio tracks appear in Arrangement, most are also in Session.

In Live ...

Hmm, sounds familiar. Could it be this?
