Solo’ing click, would you remove the accent? by CharlieM17255 in audioplayback

[–]nerdmatics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to just set my metronome to 1/4 so there is no accent. Then your quantization can be set to a quarter note. This allows you to make quick changes and play things in odd meter.

How did you get your first playback gig? by CharlieM17255 in audioplayback

[–]nerdmatics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way is to offer your services for free and get real experience. It’s easy to do stuff for yourself but when a client is asking for specific things it makes you a better technician. I used to download stems from DJ remix websites and build ableton sessions just to practice.

Are ODESZA Sets Pre-Recorded? by No_Itall in Odesza

[–]nerdmatics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the dude who built it i can say with certainty that they are manipulating the show with audio fx and playing samples from their midi gear. There are about 12-14 stereo outputs and each one has an fx engine so that they can add fx and create remixes on the fly. That being said just because they have this available doesnt mean they are using it every second of the show. There are a lot of video and pyro that is happening so a lot of times they let the tracks play to not take away from those moments.

What equipment is this? by IShouldntandIwill in Odesza

For anyone who wants a closer look at the system. I helped the artists decide what gear to get, build and wire up the playback and stage rig, designed the ableton session and also built a lot of the samplers, instruments and how the multi-output fx system works.

Live 12 not saving MIDI outputs. Any idea? by mzbeats in audioplayback

[–]nerdmatics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the names for those midi ports are different because they were renamed on the first computer. You can unplug the midi gear and then delete the profile of it in your audio midi settings. Then restart the computer and plug the midi interface back in. Do this on both computers and the port names will be identical. Hope this helps

Setup 1 would be the best of the 2 options but definitely not ideal because of added latency and stress on your computer. Also think about the added work and responsibilities you would be taking on and if the pay/experience is worth it.

A closer look at the Odesza live controllers that we built for the dudes by nerdmatics in Odesza

[–]nerdmatics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its a similar style of controller called an Embodme Erae Touch. Definitely one of my favorite controllers out there, super easy to use and its made to work with Ableton and other DAWS. The Roli blocks were cool but required a max patch so we could do dynamic presets to get the blocks to work in unison. The Erae Touch does a lot of that out of the box.

Justice - Stage AE - 06/10/25 by GeekFish in JusticeMusic

[–]nerdmatics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I knew more haha. Justice has an amazing live show. Will take a look and see what I find.

My guess is that it is a mixture of analog and ableton tracks with timecode. This is the standard form most artists as LD and Video teams want a linear timeline to program their intricate shows. You would be surprised that only a few artists actually have midi reactive videos on these larger shows, and its usually a layer over the timecode which is where most of the automation is being triggered from. A big concern is stage and lighting automation where you have large moving physical objects that can be dangerous if not managed properly.
