Re: New Seattle Group

I'd be down for some Live houseboatin'. None of my friends are into electronic music. :?

Can we keep it in Seattle? I'd be arriving by moped.

You'd be surprised. It's an antique music stand. Probably the most heavy-duty thing I own. 8O

Re: Attention users of Sony MDR-7506 and V6 headphones...

The left ear buds of my brand new pair of 7506s just inadvertently fell out, so I'm getting a kick out of this thread.

You could say it's a bad romance. :oops:

Re: MESHUGGAH (polyrythmic extreme metal band)

Word.

Whenever I'm in a rut rhythmically, I queue up Bleed and New Millenium Cyanide Christ. Then I end up trying to do that stuff in Live. :lol:

Upgrade path for Intro users?

Intro user here. I'm awfully tempted to spring on the $279 upgrade to "regular" Live 8, but I'm wondering if I should hold off and spend the $599 on Suite. Does anyone know what the upgrade cost from Vanilla to Suite is? Is Suite worth it for someone who has Logic (with it's included synth...

Re: Poll: how many of you play live?

I plan on it this year. Just moved my Mac and my Kurz PC3x into a rehearsal studio this weekend. Being loud rules, but I'm finding that I really need an APC or a Launchpad or something. Maybe both.

Re: Who is using a desktop for live performance?

I'm going to be carting a Mac Pro back and forth to my new rehearsal room starting this weekend. Ugh. Maybe it'll look sexy on stage. :lol:

Re: When's the next Seattle user meeting?

So it goes I don't know if I want to sign up for myspace just to get ahold of someone that's dropped the ball. If I put so...

Re: Anyone using regular hardware synths as controllers?

I have the Polar's 8 envelope knobs set up as a generic controller in Live, since their layout matches Live's macro rack knobs exactly. I was wondering if there was a consistency in knob usage this way. On my Kurz, it's just sliders with "MIDI #" on them, so I try to make them do the same...

Anyone using regular hardware synths as controllers?

Kurzweil PC3x is doing a pretty good job so far. Easy to set things up in Live's MIDI mapper. My Logic 8 weeps.

Just thought we should have a proper "doing things the hard way" thread. :D

Reaktor's Space Drone ensemble does the trick. Heck, any drone ensemble from Reaktor will do what you want.

QFT.


I'm new to Live (7LE + Kurzweil PC3x), and have been having so much fun learning it that I can't be bothered to lurk on forums at home. :)
