Ableton TO MPC-3000

2007-06-06T04:26:17Z

Right now, I am using two Ableton machines, synced with Midi clock, VSTs are Battery, Massive, Absynth, and FM8. I am getting lots of lag and problems with Ableton , mainly on the powerbook. My question is this :

Can an MPC-3000 Replace my ableton setup, but rendering out everything in Ableton and loading the samples into the MPC? Can I sequence live with the MPC? Can I store and call up samples and loops using other gear like a midi keyboard? Would this be taking a step back in any way? I just feel like if i had a solid hardware seqeuncer, I wouldnt have all the problems I am running into like audio cutout due to overloading the procs on my machines.

Any THoughts? Nay of you guys use the MPC as an exclusive part of your Live act? THANKS!

What do you use to PA?

2007-04-24T11:24:30Z

What do you guys use to do live shows? I used to have a big rig with a dat, a few synths, and some fx processors. I am now using a mac laptop with pro tools. Some of my friends are using abelton. I have some shows coming up and want to try a new set up. Any suggestions?

rehearsal speakers?

2007-04-20T18:10:48Z

hi,

i'm wondering what everyone would recommend for rehearsal speakers. Our old one's have passed on and we'd lke to save our nice Mackies for gigs.

Basically we're looking for something durable, decent sounding, and inexpensive.

Thanks,
chendo

gig

2006-07-27T07:47:19Z

Hi,

I am a sax, flute and EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) player in Somerville. I studied jazz performance at U. Michigan and currently play in a touring group called Entrain.

I am interested in combining forces with a laptop musician (beats, textures) to do some restaurant gigs. I know this sounds lame but it will pay decently.

Can you send me something you have worked on?

dann.friedman@gmail.com

Thanks!

set to download

2006-03-07T01:31:12Z

sup everyone,

i've been doing a live pa for a couple of years here in colorado. i'm using two yamaha rs7000's, a dj mixer, and a really nice compressor (RNC), for this set anyway. the set was played by muting & unmuting parts (up to 16 on each rs), going back & forth between the rs's, and tweaking the sounds of course. as far as style i'm describing it as glitchy psychedelic techno, played around 138 bpm. any feedback is most welcome.

http://www.golittlemonkey.com/micromusic_02.10.06_live@snake%20pit.mp3
50 minutes, 82 megs, vbr mp3

thanks for the listen.

how to promote?

2006-03-02T08:03:09Z

My group has been playing together for a little under 2 years now. We've had a few nice gigs in that time and have made alot of progress in our sound, our recordings, our live set, streamlining our gear.

the one place that it feels like we're like lacking (or maybe I'm just impatient) is promoting ourselves.

For us, Tribe has been both good and bad. Gotten us 1 gig so far, and a few "gigs" that never transpired.

We've also sent out disks, pasted stickers, been on the radio, but this has been too recent to know how successful it's been.

What I'd like to know is what has worked for peeps, what has not worked for peeps.

Thanks,
akash

The Square Root Of Evil - 10 pm

and new work from visual artist Brie Chauncey

SOMA cafe - 2528 Main St.

Artist Bio's

THE SQUARE ROOT OF EVIL
the Square Root of Evil (aka Jen) has been involved in
music in one sense or another since the age of 5.
Always hearing little tunes in her head almost drove
her crazy until one day she figured out how to make
them on a computer. Besides making music and editing
videos/short films and television programs, she runs 2
internet radio stations, promotes shows in Vancouver
and has been an active member of the online electronic
music community since 1996. Her music has elements of
drum n bass, breakcore, techno and glitch, with bleeps
and bloops from old video games thrown into the mix,
usually in the form of a silly melody or 3. She leans
towards frantic & somewhat complex rhythms made with
crunchy low-fi sounds, and tries to make people smile
while they dance.

CELLOFEIGN
Combing her love for the cello and inspired by minimal techno, Cellofeign (aka Sara Gold) creates textural mayhem full of clicks, pops and rich undertones with a myriad of f/x boxes and looping devices.

PLEASURE FREQUENCY
Pleasure Frequency has been performing night clubs and parties in Vancouver for the last five years both as a solo act and collaboratively with Tim Gerwing, Freaknob (Gimpo) and Rich Hamakawa (Max Power) and more recently in the techno duo "Mile 36". His solo material usually hovers around 96 bpm and hangs in the downtempo arena. This show the tempo is moving up a little and is a cross between cheesy Tangerine Dream soundtracks and bleepy breaks. Or something like that.

BRIE CHAUNCEY
After a brief sojourn to Europe, Brie Chauncey returns to her roots in
Vancouver and most recently the Mount Pleasant neighborhood.
"Within this urban landscape surfaces are constantly changing, in perpetual
stages of erosion and re-creation. Human interaction with natural
phenomena creates, over various blocks of time, new and different records -
new phenomena wherein natural occurrence and human interference become
indistinguishable and interchangeable."
