I do like the visual on the upper right. Imagine some ADHSR in impulse! with sample views of your kit!

If only I could get my wacom tablet to work with OSX... it would be great to make a screenshot of your most used setup in Live, and then print that and put it under the plastic film on your tablet... then there would be some real relation to your tablet input and the live interface.

But shitty wacom won't make a driver for OSX/intuous tablets... yergh.

...and after (as of yesterday):

A lot less clutter if you ask me.

Ya, really. I'm totally baffled by that statement. What on earth makes you think Wacom does not have drivers for OSX? I've been using an Intuos 3 with OSX for over 2 years now.

The drivers are available on the cd that came with your tablet and are available on Wacoms site. Windows, OSX, and Linux drivers. If you have a version earlier then the Intuos 3 then there are also SGI, SUN, and OS9 drivers.

Looks like you ditched some gear there.

Very clean indeed.

Well, only the iMac since it died. The Roland V-Drums are in the closet. The bass is behind me when I was taking the picture. And actually, I realize now that picture is older than I thought. The Line 6 POD on the stand was replaced by the POD XTlive some time ago, also on the floor behind me. I'll tell you though. The room feels a lot bigger now.

Live rig, including roadie/groupie/assistant/bouncer.

Everything is velcroed, shockmounted, pre-wired in place in custom-made flightcases.

Percussion controller and FCB1010 not in the pics.

£1,000 for a 3 1/2 hour gig... I love this job...

hambone, I've always been curious about your set up. I recall you mentioning somewhere that your rig was totally mobile, in a rack with rollers or something.

Do you have anymore pictures?

Here ya go!

They're still in prototype stage, but gigging well. The two boxes are mirror-images of each other, with locking covers.

I'm considering barbed wire or an electric fence around the top to keep nosy "Man, I drop phatt beatz da REAL way... wif DECKS... and walk wif a pretend Compton drive-by limp" asswipes away...

Seriously, I'm going to put an angled Plexiglas cover on to keep the neanderthals and their drinks away.

Impressive and inspiring rig hambone. I really feel like integrating video with audio is pretty awesome and definitely taking things to an entirely new level. I'd love to see some footage of you working live.

Here's an interesting write up, from Thomas Dolby's blog, about Johnny DeKam's video setup if you are interested. He does the live video for Thomas Dolby's shows.

Heres video of Dolby working live. Not using live, just performing live. It's in m4v format.

I'll probably make another thread with this stuff so others get to see it as well.

Thanks for the links!

Integrating video and audio is excellent. I do the lighting, too, and when you get all three sequenced and controlled with Live, all beatmatched and synched, you can do some incredible stuff.

I'd love to see more people doing it. Trigger a Live clip with a drum controller that fires audio, video, and lighting can be spectacular. One drum pad hit at the end of a phrase can trigger a cymbal crash and kick, nuclear explosion to the video screens, and blinding flashes from the scanners, lasers, color washes, blinders, and strobes. Lighting and video are all synched and beatmatched to Live's tempo, and can all be played live on the fly.

Once you start getting follow actions and virtual MIDI involved... well... that's the kind of sh*t that keeps me awake at night!

Yeah sorry... I should have said that wacom did not produce drivers for ADB wacom tablets for OSX. So even after I had a Griffin iMate to plug the thing into a USB port, when I moved to OSX there was no driver support... I read about a guy who was working on one, but there is some other technical doohickey which i don't understand which basically makes it sound unlikely it'll ever happen.

I somehow ended up with reason a year ago instead of live. I'm getting it some time this summer though
