Ableton Forum

ok...so it took me several days to find this...i'm not sure if i originaly found this link through this forum or not, but if you want custom midi/knob/slider/button boxes, this seems to be the best site, at least that i've found. enough yammerin'.

thats...how you say?...fuckin' slick. did you build it entirely from scratch, or was it some modified kit? how many controllers did you manage to cram onto it? me want.

there is a freeware live video mashing tool at http://www.image-ine.org. it's for os9, but i think they have an osx version being developed.

what you can do, is render only the amount of the clip to disk that you want to disk, then just delete the old file.

k

well looky that! ableton might be off the hook after all. i hope they have a mac version.

it doesn't test absolutes, but it does give you an idea about what sort of performance you're gonna get out of different machines and os's. when i comes to exacts, it really depends on a pooload of different factors, too many to really come up with anything usefull. the demo test is about as good an...

check out http://www.resolume.com. they have some video software that seems the equivalent to live. pc only (i think).

p.s. bsom gets credit for knowing this, not me. therefore he takes any blame. ;)

good idea. it would make it a whole bunch easier to jam with djs...or with real musicians ;)

hmm...good to know. well, mr. steve ain't gettin' my $129 until my demands for a carbonized rubytube are met dammit. there's no way i'm switchin' without that plug-i, it's just too damn good. come on steevie boy lets see who can hold out the longest. i got nuthin' but time baby, nuthin' but time.

who'd wanna sell live?

i look like that. hair sucks. can i get an amen?
