OK, ABLETON ...

Ableton Live, maybe you're not so bad. I mean, you're still a slut, and I still see you with other artists all the time, but ... your experience really shone through on Saturday night when we had that threesome with the Launchpad.

Thanks for looking after my needs.

TV dead.

For the record, my RCA projection TV that died this week is a P46100TN, manufactured in 1991. It no longer powers up.

UPDATES.

Well the Foran's gig was a mixed bag. First, the negatives:

- I had to follow an aggressive dubstep set that largely cleared the bar.
- For some unknown reason, Logic suddenly stopped and gave me one of those "I couldn't keep up" dialog boxes like 4 times during the show.
- After one of the aforementioned 5-second silence intervals, I did not recover at the correct point and subsequently missed about 4 minutes of my set, including most of "Atmos".
- Missing most of "Atmos" meant the Thingamakit solo was also missed.
- My wife told me it sounded like nothing was new, even though I played 3 (maybe 4?) new grooves.
- The x0xb0x line was out of sync during "London B" so I had to mute it.
- No good pics, video, or recordings.
- The police dropped by and insisted that the sound be turned down, drastically, at 1:40 AM.

And the positives:
- Mixing on the new Zero8 was a breeze. The pseudo-kaoss pad was a joy, and the channel meters were really helpful.
- Alex Smoke was there ... or, given the problems I had, maybe that's a negative?
- The sound was surprisingly good.
- One of the parts of "Helium" was missing from my bounces, so I re-recorded it in the hotel before the set, and I think the new part sounds sweeter.

I'm retooling for Om. Big time. New software will most likely either be MainStage or (gasp) Ableton Live. I will endeavour to use more live hardware synths where possible as well.

Om Reunion Project's "in:fuse" gathering is in two weeks. Details to follow.
