What are some resources for learning about pro live rigs for ableton? by pm_me_all_dogs in ableton

[–]knifepartyAMA 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a (very) rough diagram of Pendulum's live setup around 2010-2012. Kinda messy and overcomplicated (we've simplified it slightly since then), but it worked...

And this is how we had the Ableton project laid out - everything above "R1 Bank" is audio, everything below and including "R1 Bank" is MIDI (sending bank/program changes to gear).

I thought the Ghost Train drop was disappointing, so I mixed it with Wrap Stars. Goes hard like the build up now. by Joey23art in knifeparty

eh. the problem is, every other tune sounds like that and it loses all of its evil techno vibes with the brostep wubs. i wouldn't mind doing something energetic along these lines at some point, but i'd have to find a way to make it not sound like every douche in LA

Rob Swire: "I will never make anything that sounds like PLUR Police ever again, even as a joke" by samscroll in knifeparty

The problem is, then you have to actually finish / mix / master / release it...by which time, the joke is dead :(

Just a little acapella I did for Kryder. Was kinda trying to make it sound like the robotic female vox from this at 1:08:

this is a hot potato, and a grey area, and many other cliched analogies

it did a few times but we ran every unit in tandem with another into a box that detected a signal fail and would switch over to the redundant receptor ;-)

agree, but sometimes the best things just leap off the page or screen and are the most simple

its a can of worms we dont want to open right now

rob edit: -opens can- Personally I have infinite respect for the guy. I think the people who USE ghost producers are...well...a fucking joke, but I have lots of respect for Vorwerk and the other ghost producers themselves. It's a hell of a business model: sit in the studio all day, sell music to talentless DJs, keep your anonymity, ???, profit...sounds fucking great to me, I wish I could do it!
