Would you happen to know if he also enables chanels for record via keystrokes? I was playing around with this this weekend, but the only way I could figure out how to quantize the record enable would be to assign a midi message to it, write a loop with that midi message in it, then trigger the midi loop via a keystroke. Then when the midi loop playes quantized, the record enables get swapped at the right time, but its kinda klugy

Jamie Lidell Live at the Royal Festival Hall, London.

58 megs. .mov, right click and save as or watch in yer browser.

but have you seen him on stage playing 2 hours sweating the shit out of his tapesuit and burning everything down like he did at the mutek2004, i saw him several times each one is different, he sings his songs but there is always some new crazyness happening, last time he gave us some vocal chicago like house tracks, it felt just like some old casual shit!!! whoou bad!!!

Does anybody know what floor controller he's using? I've been after one for ages.

I saw kid beyond live this past memorial weekend (end of may). Didnt know what to expect, but he really blew me away. Great live performer, great music, and I couldnt imagine a better realworld demo for Live then that video

it looks like his quantize settings were all the same in this paticular video when he was doing the example in his kitchen, what quantize setting is that

KB uses Bome MIDI translator, a small PC app that sends multiple keystrokes at once -- so he could say, record enable a track and change quantization at the same time. His footcontroller is a Ground COntrol. The FCB 1010 works well too, but he likes how the Ground Control fits in his suitcase. It's all in the video...

...lots more artist movies coming soon...

I agree his beatboxing skills are amazing, but isn't this how most of you guys use Ableton Live?

Thats precisely why I use it so much (ever since midi-enabled live4 came out).

Cheers for the link

Nice controller!

edit: spent too many time watching the vids before replying...

There's definitely a big difference between Lidell and Chaikin/Kid Beyond - Jamie's definitely got the upper hand, technically, imnsho, but KB is obviously a lot better with his voice. If those two could have a baby, hehe... I dig JL for his messed up approach and the extravagant amount of effects, most of my "beat-box-savy" friends think he's a hack

BTW guys, check out kid beyond's version of Kashmir, that drum-sound is killerrr!!!!

hey folks sorry to be such a pain and thanks for the responses jesse, I understand that he's using bomes midi translater and I understand what that does...but if you look at the video, when he gives his example of how he does it I noticed that for that paticular example he's recording the diffeent clips in the same timing quantization, I'm just curious what setting that might be, maybe some of you can tell by the amount of timing between changes or something, if anybody knows I'd like to know and thanks

I think it's straight one-bar - but he could be playing in double-time

Crazy on the drums, he is really a killer on the drums sounds, but hum the songs are really cheezy...

waow yeah, that snare sound, so percussive
