Re: Let's do it all over again - Best external software Synth?

Zebra 2.5... great sound, vast sonic range, no C/R or dongle, fair price, generous licensing agreement, stunning collection of sound sets, great customer service and since I first purchased the initial Zebra 2 there have been the equivalent (don't let the small number increments fool you) of 2-3 pa...

Re: There will never be another legacy artist

What's not to like about Lady Gaga? 1. She's hot. 2. She might just be a man. 3. She's got a pooper from hell. 4. She writes her own stuff. 5. She's freaky and wacky as a motherfucker. 6. She plays piano like a motherfucker. 7. She plays acoustic versions of her songs all the time that are shit fuc...

Re: There will never be another legacy artist

This is what I love about the Abe general board. Sometimes someone asks a question which spawns a multi-page debate. I thought I had a glib answer to the original premise, but on reading down through the posts---it REZEALLY made me think. So keep it up Liveheads. Seems like there is something about ...

that's sort of a pity. I also replaced it with something more custom.

Re: Villalobos hating on Ableton

My first thought was: hey, Villalobos has been dead 50 years. But it's just some big deal electronic producer. We'll see if people are talking about his music 50 years after his death. Music as a profession is at least 50% abut self-promotion. It's a simple truth. Getting (real or electronic) ink me...

Re: Automatic search doesnt work

They did suggest trying a Library Repair, but the problem still persists in 8.0.8. As someone pointed out, you can go one by one and fix the "1 Candidate"s but that's sort of cumbersome. I haven't looked at the offending samples all that closely but I get the feeling that some or all may b...

Re: Automatic search doesnt work ("1 Candidate")

This seems broken at best. It says right in the manual that if ONE CANDIDATE is found, it is replaced and the issue is considered closed. Considering all the beta versions of 8.0.5 that were floated, I'm a little surprised that this common issue was not fixed. I'll ask Ableton directly and see if th...

Re: Brian Eno in conversation

Every 5 or 10 years Eno refines and improves the articulation of his philosophies of art and music. At this point he really is the guru of gurus. I wish I could save this file and view it many times.

Re: Any San Diego Users?

I'm located a couple miles from Grossmont College. Used Live since v1.5, but only in studio (weird, I know). Still, I might have an hint or solution or two if you need one. As you both know; not too much of a live/creative music scene in this country, considering its size. Some really interesting mu...

Re: OT POLL: do you give a crap about Beatles remasters?

I'll have to hear them to decide. I don't like any of the poll options. 1 - idiotic. 2 - the old sound fine but the new could be better, as in the re-release "Let It Be... Naked." 3 - interweb conspiracy whining that has nothing to do with the music. Maybe, maybe not -- but I do remember ...

Addiction: (was Re: DJ AM dies)

Anything I write about addiction at twitter length is going to be 90% misleading or wrong at best. That said, a good way for people who say "no one's forcing you to take that drink/hit/etc/" to start to understand the addict is to consider them as suffering from a mental illness. You can't...

Re: Imoegn Heap Live on Letterman

Good song, good presentation. I like how the grid of the monome was echoed in the checks of her outfit (and I guess session view and the mixer too -- grids everywhere!) Could any of you HD nerds tell exactly what was on the laptop? Looked like she just had a session slot open with an EQ and a Simple...
