Texas Live Meetup Party

Post by nebulae » Tue Mar 24, 2009 2:54 pm

I'd like to propose a meetup of Texas Live users. We should have an evening where we book a bar in a central location, perhaps Austin, and have an Ableton night. Everyone shows up with their lappies and plays for 30-60 minutes. No rules. Anything goes.

Who's in?

Ok, I'll bump this for a week and make sure we get as many as possible, and then we can organize and figure out a place and a time and make this happen.

I would love to do this. I just started a monthly at a venue called Ruta Maya on South Congress in Austin. I use ableton 7, korg sampler, and a microkorg. Half live PA half DJ set.

Coffee and beer.....excellent sound system. Great vibes.

I could try and get a night locked down for this, or be willing to help in anyway possible.

myspace.com/trypset for some demo mixes

great idea by the way.

Corpus Christi checking in.

This sounds cool. Even if I don't book I might drive up to check it out.

Keep me posted however we are going to keep each other informed.

Regards,

I'll prolly collect all interested email addresses, find a good location, and then set up time slots. Should be fun.

i can help with some organizing and promo in Austin too.
i also run the Ableton users group in Austin but thats been moving real slow.
we only have like 22 people on the mailing list
cool thing is something like this is what we need to get the group Rolling.

Great plan!

I live in Austin and would like to attend. Don't think I can get enough material together in time to perform, but maybe at a future party...

Dude, you can do 20-30 mins...come on! just throw in a beat and slice it and map beat-repeat on a controller and masturbate with the other hand...I'd watch that for 20 mins...

Everyone interested PM me your name, number, and email.

i fucking hate texans.









keep it on the weekend, m'kay, and i might check it out. but don't expect a performance, unless i get REAL drunk... and that's not the performance you are seeking.
but i might not be adverse to some freestylee on the mic.

Like I said, bring your lappie, and anything goes, no rules.

Heh, that would be a truly hellish performance!

Unfortunately, I've only owned Live for a little over a month and have one 5-minute track ready to go. I haven't really even touched any of the performance aspects of Live.

I'd love to do a short set when I have something a little more worthwhile, but I'm psyched to meet other users and musicians and see what folks are doing. I've lived in Austin for almost a decade and am still completely ignorant of any electronic/dance scene here.
