I just really hope that Ableton works with Serato video.

And maybe in Ableton you could control-click to get the colored or tri-band waveform views from Serato? No one who tried those would want to go back.

FS: Super Custom Live PA/DJ setup $1,000 (RME/Ecler)

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/2699474898_72f9cf013f.jpg My loss, your gain. One of the ultimate Ableton DJ/Live PA setups: An RME Multiface II sound card running 5 stereo channels into an Ecler Nuo4 mixer/MIDI controller, with a lot of hidden extras. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3129/269947...

I think they struck that down--at least here. I remember reading something, but the local paper's website is down.

Oh, apologies to my record-store bros (plenty of good shit there, we maybe have too many). I meant music gear stores. ugh. and shameless plug time: our last Austin show is at the Scoot Inn this Saturday the 25th. They have a nice outdoor stage they just built. I'd recommend it to anybody looking for...

We're leaving Austin in 2 weeks for grad school in NY. We've been doing Live AV performances here for close to 3 years. The scene isn't exactly bumping. Nearly everybody in Austin who isn't mining some country music niche is just playing blooze. Crowds, clubs, and cops are usually suspicious of new ...

Ecler makes really nice stuff across the board. I like their hybrid house/battle mixer thing they did with the Nuos.

If you regularly mix more than 2 channels for whole songs, then try compressing or limiting them individually with per-channel inserts before mixing. Mixing into a limiter sounds really shitty to me. The sounds seems to punch one another out instead of lying together, I don't know how to explain it.

I have never agreed with titbag before. I'm getting ready to dump Live for performance pretty soon. It's not totally fair because the only other live music performance apps I can think of to compare it to are DJ-focused, but the way they approach development & the user base & improving the p...

We're a month and a half away from the one year anniversary of the announcement. Doesn't that mean we deserve a hint from someone? Musikmesse better not come and go this year without info. It's safe to guess it will benefit non-traditional uses and possibly live performance, right? Couldn't anyone a...

If Impulse, Simpler, and Sampler could play back video from samples that were dragged into them it would be amazing. Nothing special, just synced single channel video, cuts only.
