Ableton Forum

I just arrived in Santa Cruz, will be around until November. Taking off to BRC this week, but won't bring my laptop for obvious reasons.

My partner Mike and I (alias Pitch Black) are coming over for a gig at the Supper Club on Thursday 21 September.

Would love to see ya's! Details here: http://www.pitchblack.co.nz/?s1=live

just arrived here in SF and got moved in. Will check out the show pitch black!!! Looking forward to seeing y'all do it up, I've always dug your approach and setup. hopefully we'll get a chance to talk Live.

Cool! Yay! We shall have . . . Beers!!

Keep in touch with the PM's. Not sure when we'll be setting up on the day, but you could come and check it out early if you like. Kick tyres n all.

How's the group going ?

AKAIK nothing yet, I'd like to get something started, just find a place for people to set up gear and make noise, no expectations just share tips and put grooves together. Does anyone have a space we can set up in? My studio's too small for more than 2 people and my neighbor above the living room is a serious twat.

I've got a friend in town this weekend, next weekend or sometime after? My rig is portable.

...set up gear and make noise, no expectations just share tips and put grooves together...

Man that sounds great. Unfortunately I don't have access to a good space either. Surely someone around here has (or knows of) a decent place to make music?! Or are you all (like me) stuck in tiny little rooms with paper-thin walls?

Paper thin walls seems to be an understatement. sheesh...this totally sucks. I just moved to the area recently and it's like living with sheets for walls.....

I'm still looking for decent apt. here, I'll keep my eye/ears open for studio space as well..

There's a big room at Lennon Studios (in SOMA) that might work - there's a PA and plenty of room for folks to set up laptops, controllers, etc. It's only $60 for three hours - if we had a decent-sized group and everyone chipped in, it would be relatively cheap.

And no complaints from the neighbors.

heh.. lennon is right down the street from me

If you're down, PM me.

OK, DeadlyKungFu has found us a space (in the Mission, not Lennon), and we have tentative dates of either 10/21 or 10/28. PM either myself or DeadlyKungFu for details and let us know if you have a date preference.

I should have updated this thread earlier, but it slipped my mind until I noticed how many views it had. DeadlyKungFu has set up a Google group for organizing bay area jams and we've already had a few in SF. Very ad hoc, very eclectic, and very fun. PM DeadlyKungFu or myself if you'd like to be added to the group.

I know it's not a free user group, but for those willing to pay a little for a structured course Robotspeak's Ableton Live class starts next Tuesday, Jan. 9th. The course consists of four 2-hour classes held on Tuesday nights at Robotspeak on Haight St. The cost is $200 for the 8 hours worth of classes. You can sign up by emailing or calling the shop in advance.
