nicely said dennis
When Robert Henke first built the Live prototype as a Max patch, it was for
him to do his own live shows, using his own loops, but with the freedom to
combine and collage (not a verb, I know) on the fly.
exactly! which from my p.o.v., makes it not so hot as a live tool as well
depending on what sort of music you make...if you make more
loop/groove-based or soundscapey stuff where layering and playing with fx is
the hook and the excitement of the song its great, but if you make stuff
with changing melodies, more narrative or song-based, it is not really much
use..at least i have never found much use from it, i have it and dont use
it. imo henke's genius is in reaktor, not ableton...
It's a little like finding out that your 808 can make drip coffee, then
finding out that it's really bad coffee, then selling your 808 because it
sucks.
hehe!! yech this coffee has too much cowbell!
yeah i dont mean to write-off the program, or mixes done in ableton, i just
do not see it as the future of music or as some new frontier for mixing.
computer technology going up its own butt if you ask me, which ya didnt,
rarrarwrr i'm off to the tarpits
