Very intuitive interface, NEVER CRACKLES or misses a beat, not to mention great effects.
I couldn't give any other software a higher recommendation for live use.
It's more reliable than my hardware.

lot of reasons, but one thing that is really annoying
is how it won't lock some loops in tight. unless i
would go through before a a liveset and set
everything up (all of the hitpoints in the loops) so
they were all on beat and solid, i wouldn't feel
comfortable using it live. is it just the alogrthym?
they need to get it more stable like acid or
something.
anyone else found that to be the case?

alogrithm. never spell that right.

You can set the warp markers all over the place in ableton, and make it as rigid or loose as you want...
Good for some wacky sounding effects as well.

right, i know, but that's what i mean. you don't
want to have to set warp markers during a live
set.

okay, i haven't played with live in awhile so for the
past few days i've been working with it and learning
the ins and outs.
the problem that i was having was using loops that
weren't cut perfectly and that i didn't know the
original bpm of. that said, I F*CKING LOVE THIS
PROGRAM!
as long as you do set up warp markers where
needed it runs perfectly. or if you have better
loops than what i was using it's crazy how many
ideas i was coming up with. even doing jam
sessions and making tracks on the fly for 20
minutes at a time. man, it got me thinking about
doing live sets made competely spontaniously with
only preselected loops. it would take some thought,
but i think it would be fun as hell. maybe setup
some effect sends beforehand and then just jam.
and assigning midi triggers or qwerty triggers is so
simple. this program rocks. really, everyone should
at least get the demo and play with it for a bit. it's
really cool.

Either way, get your hands on it.
These people deserve your money.
Message 19/31 29-Oct-02 @ 01:48 AM - RE: ABLETON LIVE - What do you think?
i have seen some people use it. it does alot of great things, but i think watching someone dork out on his laptop is boring. they could just be playing a dat for all anyone knows.
just my 2 cents.

well, i wouldn't just use a laptop. definitely a
keyboard, fx boxes, a drum pad, a filterbank
and maybe a kaos pad. sure, i think just a
laptop would be pretty boring.

2) Actually, I saw a guy rip shit up hardcore style on a laptop and ableton... Eight Frozen Modules, from Austin, relocated to LA... hard, dirty Squarepusher shit...amazing.... you just gotta have some energy.

sure, it's better to make your setup work rather than complain what it can't do...BUT it's also good to have an idea of what you want to do and then find a way to do it.
for example, i want to run my hardware live instead of just using softsynths and such. i want to use my midi gear 'cause i think it sounds better.
there is always a point where you have to accept the limitations of your setup. i'm using an mmt8 for god sakes...it's arciac and extreemly limited...but it does run my midi gear and that's what i want.
i also do find twiddling a laptop to be a bit boring to watch. if i could use my midi gear and do it effectivly though, i think i would seriosly consider using a laptop. that would add a demention to the performance that i think is lacking from just laptop with fader performers.
don't get me wrong, i'm not opposed to new technology. i've got a g4 and all that in the studio...but for the live performance...i just have a different idea in mind.
Message 27/31 30-Oct-02 @ 10:41 PM - RE: ABLETON LIVE - What do you think?
I use it with external gear controlling it, along with live guitar, a vocalist, outboard fx, and a couple of hardware synths.
*shrug*
Not for everyone. You aren't going to find a midi sequencer, in a mac or a pc at least, thats as stable though... at least at this point in time.

The sound through its algorithims is something like MP3 quality, though. Big drawback. On an average (loud and lo-fi) club system you probably wouldn't know; hi-fi purists would be sick.

well, it seems that they will address the sound
quality of the time stretching in version 2 due out

years eve that i'm going to use live for and
hopefully i'll have the new version down by then.
