Yeah, I float between Montreal and Ottawa. I maintain a home in each city.

I found Montreal a VERY difficult city to break into in terms of securing gigs. It's all who you know, not what you can do. I'm bitter towards that place in a few ways.

I love the Deps
I love the females
I love the music scene (to go dance)

I hate the smoking in bars / restos
I hate the language politics
I hate the music scene (to find a gig)

Go figure.

- smoking in bars will soon be forbidden
- le francais, c'est coule!
- for a city of this size, I think the Montreal scene rocks!!!

...Yeah, that is a good thing.

Oui, d'accord. Je n'ai pas dit que je deteste le francais, j'ai dit qui je deteste le politique de langue. Il y a un gros differance. Je connais les anglos et les francos aussi qui ont les opinions problematique pour le cohabitation des cultures dans un etat tranquille et amicable.

Again, my point wasn't that the music scene sucks - It's great for going out. The music scene is terrible to break into and try to establish yourself as a new performer. It's very clique oriented - if you're not "in" with the right crowds you'll never get a gig.

I haven't tried there... However, these days I live in Ottawa, (moved just recently) and it's really a positive enviroment for live electronic music performance. Wierd.

I'll try to get in touch with some folks at SAT and see what the deal is. Have you got a link?

Thanks for the advice!

By the way, Waverider, are you the fella I met in Montreal with the mega-Sherman filterbank?

Oh, I'm glad I found this! I moved to Montreal a year and a half ago, and I love it!!

I've been using Live now for a few months... funny thing is, I have nothing to do with DJ'ing or such, so I'm using it more as a traditional sequencer/DAW. I have to say, there are some things I miss, but it's working fine for my current needs.

Say, anyone here in favor of getting a Montreal users group going?
