Ableton Looping/Programming live on stage..



Hoi!

I did a combination of live programming and live looping on my last "Reyn 
vs ..." concert:

I must say I'm very happy with my switch from EDP to Ableton. Together 
with my Gordius pedal it gives me so much more freedom and I can combine 
now all the features from Ableton right on the spot and in separate 
sessions.

If you open the session everything is ready to go. You can have all your 
sounds ready and features ready and triggered with MIDI maps and have it 
ready just in that song. No more hassle, double click and ready. And 
everything is in sync (after playing your first loop), like your delays 
and your programming, or if you want to add samples with a BPM later on. 
(I'm gonna try that on my next concert.)

And it's much more stable then the EPD. I must admit there are still 
issues with Ableton like latency. Not sure whether it is my Mackie Onyx 
Mixer, which I use as my soundcard, or if it's Ableton or even the amount 
of loopers I use in one session (8). But besides that it's heaven.

Cheers,

Reyn
