With the course I'm doing I'll have a lot of contact with other software environments (SuperCollider, Max/MSP, CSound, etc.), which is all very exciting and daunting and so on. But what I particularly like about Live is its capabilities for live performance - which will hopefully play a part in plans for upcoming Shindig live shows - as well as its marvellous, fluid graphical interface. Seamless would be a nice way to put it. And I can't believe I've left it so long to get into using the bugger: believe the hype.
More on Ableton Live here
So yeah, this is a combination of my trusty old Fruity Loops and shiny, kinda-new Ableton Live 3... Let me know what you think!

mp3 format; 2mb
P.S. I've heard a sneak of Diarmaid's newest joint, charmingly titled 'FUCK OFF, CITY & PEOPLE!' (his capitals, not mine). It's some hot shit, I guarantee... Look out for an mp3 on Generally Messy at some point soon.
P.P.S. Daniel's been up all night with his consoles and has another edition of his Digital Dungeon, or whatever it is he's calling it these days, ready for consumption over on A Slice Of Class.

See, I can see that song being played live. That's the magic of Ableton, it gives you all the sexy glossiness of other music programmes with the possibility of working it into a live environment... Myself and Declan are already well in favour of Ableton and it's facilities, and it's gonna be a staple and favourite of our recording and performances as We Build Smiles.
Dope tune. Very dope indeed.
PS Mogwai were heavily using Ableton in Dublin. They had like three laptops on stage. Errors were using it too I believe. So it's sponsored by sexy musicians. What more could one ask for?
I dunno, some semblance of memory of the Mogwai gig? And maybe the ability to see over the heads of all those faggots? that woulda been nice.
PS Thanks Diarmo ;)

fukin class song conor. Ableton is the prgramme of kings, its only problem is professional plug-in support. like, it doesnt support the waves plug-ins. but for electronic music its sexy. it will never become proper industry standard though, although thatll keep the price down.
ive been using it and nothing else for a nearly a year now.
pick't'up'yall
thanks deko...
