I've been using exactly that Live/Augustus combo quite a lot in the past. One idea might be to start out by MIDI binding some pedal to Agustus "Freeze Loop" button. Whenever the Freeze Loop is OFF everything you play into the plug-in will overdub into the loop as new layers. When the Freeze Loop is ON you simply play on top of the loop without your playing overdubbing into the loop. From there you can experiment with all the other options offered by Augustus. Just read the manual and make sure you know every function in the plug-in, then get a cup of coffee and make a list of the function that make sense to you for your specific music. Finally, bring your second cup of coffee with you by the computer and set up MIDI bindings form some pedals etc to activate your chosen functions in a convenient way while playing. There's A LOT of fun stuff you can do with Live/Augustus, if you look into pitch changing of the loop. The pitch can be controlled by MIDI notes and this opens up for running MIDI clip loops in Live that send their MIDI sequences into Augustus for instant pitch changing while you are overdubbing audio into the loop. I'll stop here because this can't be described in words... just wanted to plant the tip ;-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) http://www.myspace.com/looproom http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/per.boysen/ http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/lo.fi.lazer/
