Hmm... thanks for the response. At this point, I may just go with what I know: I've been using an Asus Pundit for the last year or so and it's definitely held up to the challenges of Live 3 usage nicely, even with a less-than-top-shelf processor. It looks like they do not make a Pundit model that su...

Do yourself a favor and don't buy the cheapest mobo money can buy. I can guarantee you that it'll bite you in the ass a few years down the line. As far as I see it, there's really 3 types of motherboards in the industry... brand name, "oh hey, I heard of that company before", and el-cheap...

OK, so I am going to be needing a new windows XP audio PC. My specs so far are: top-of-the-line (or thereabouts) processor - either AMD64 or Pentium4 (advice humbly requested) 120GB or larger HD (I know 7200RPM is pretty much standard now, are there any other things I should be looking for in an int...

My bandmate Jut added some DIY shelves to one of these: http://www.zzounds.com/item--QLKQL699 He uses the middle tier for computer keyboard, trackball, and MIDI controller. Our live PC isn't a laptop, so he removed the top tier and attached a wallmount 15" LCD display to it... works really well...

Just got a Yamaha DD5 digital drums unit - looks to be perfect to control legato-style breaks... Hit it with sticks and it transmits MIDI. only 4 pads but they're going for $20 on eBay

Yes, please!

There's a really great resource for live electronic performance at www.livepa.org

How about using empty scenes to name segments, in the meantime?

Has anyone had any experience with this puppy? Looks sick...

OK figured since there was a BCF thread, I'd start a BCR thread. Just got mine today, played with it a bit and I feel like a kid in a candy store over what all these new knobs and buttons should be assigned to. 32 hardware knobs, and 30 hardware buttons (8 on the push-encoders, 16 under them and 4 o...
