William Basinski Disintegration loops. how to replicate?

So I will assume anyone opening this thread is familiar with the work in the title, otherwise, why would you open it? I'm interested in creating a kind of hour long, slowly degenerating loop in the style of the Disintegration loops, and am wondering about the best signal path/ flow using the various...

Re: Wow...had to go back to 8.1...???

I'm getting this too! Crazy amounts sometimes only playing 2 or three audio tracks. Haven't tried the workarounds, but even if they work it's ridiculous. Live PA in three days, I'm thinking I'll use 7 which seems rock solid. (Also suggesting it's not a RAM issue ^^)

Re: With each new update of Live 8...

Sorry if this is dumb..... I have 8.2 Suite. I want to keep 7.10 since it has been the most stable. I found recently though that I still have 6LE, 8.1 (buggy as hell on my system) and 8.1.3 installed. Can I just drag 6LE and 8.1 to the trash or will this somehow mess with the 8 Library. 7 has a sepa...

Syncing with Traktor. 2 computers. Problem.

OK. My Buddy and I have a gig coming up where he runs traktor and I run Ableton. We jack into a 4 channel mixer and his Traktor sets the master tempo. We sync via MIDI between 2 NI audio interfaces. Anything melodic played on my machine drifts like crazy due to the fact (I think) that Traktor has th...

Re: Total noob Any advice, pointers etc?

Go through the lessons.

There are some great tuts on the web too.

Re: Tips for concealing subliminal sounds?

Reverb?

Maybe set up a channel and record the audio drowned in reverb.
Hit stop.
Use the decaying reverb tail....

Depends on the type of sound I guess.

Re: anyone use Akai MPD32?

I use it differently for different jobs. For a recent live set I had 12 pads mapped to trigger scenes and 4 to a mini drum rack because I wanted to be able to "drum" and trigger clips without changing banks. Rotaries were assigned to control various FX parameters and to change "loop s...

Re: Dj'ing with Ableton....

Also hitting play on the 2nd track doesn't always seem consistent since Ableton seems to wait for the end of the 4 count before playing it, . Change your global quantise setting. It's the box at the top which would say "1 bar" going by what you're describing. (Not at home so can't provide...

Re: PLEASE HELP....DJ MIX Too Long, Need to Shorten It in time

Hmm if you only needed to shorten it by a few minutes, I would have suggested increasing the master tempo, but for the amount you are talking about that won't work

Re: New Macbook Air - A good gigging machine?

I have a first generation MBA. (1.6 CORE2duo 2GB Ram from memory.) I actually won it in a competition, so it would not have been the laptop I would have bought for that money, however, it is pretty tasty and I regularly run a 12 channel Liveset, (9 Audio, 1 drumrack, 1 operator, 1 impulse).
