I'm a robot, but you've probably never heard of me.

comment How to use Emotiv EPOC or Ambient TheAudeo with Ableton Live?
It just seems like a really spammy way to approach your question. All you are asking is "how do I interface this hardware with Ableton Live, ideally via a plugin." The actual device is secondary to the question, but you give it top billing.

I fixed your image markup, but I'm not sure they add anything to your question.

comment Is this audio signal path enough/correct?
You might also consider a standalone recorder like the Olympus LS-100 instead of the Apogee. This will allow you to work untethered from your mac.

If you plan on using your Apogee as a mic pre, then you may not need the Cloudlifter. But it might be nice to have it, just to compare with the Apogee's pre. I think that attempting to save money by buying an older Firewire Apogee and a FW to Thunderbolt adapter will be an exercise in frustration. Use the native IO ports on your Macbook Air. Avoid converters where ever possible.

comment Is it possible to separate voices from one mp3 file?
That makes sense. Spectrally complex sounds are much harder to isolate than spectrally compact sounds.

comment Zoom H2 recordings with two different mic settings. How can I match them now?
yes, sum the stereo track. For the track with a front and back channel, you want just the front channel.

Your software should have a function called something like "convert to mono".

In that case, just use the front sound from that recording. Convert the other recording to mono to match it by either picking the left or right channel, or by summing them both to mono. Then adjust levels to suit. You can't subtract out the reverb from the back channel, and can't have any stereo effect with that one front facing channel.

Try taking your two sound files and converting them both to mono. Be sure not to overwrite the original files when saving. Next, adjust the volume of the louder file until it flows smoothly with the quieter file. Finally, render these two files into a single continuous file. This process will be easier if Audition has a multitrack mode.

What audio editing tools have you worked with?

comment Are there any mixing DAC chip software simulators?
This seems like a better question for dsp. From an AVP perspective, just grab a midrange audio interface like the MOTU 828 mk3 and pull the inputs into your favorite DAW to do the mixing there.

Do you mean that you first recorded with the four-channel dual-stereo setting, and then recorded with two-channel stereo?

comment Free automatic composer, for commercial use
Generative music should be a valid topic for AVP, and an automatic composer is a special case of generative music.

I'm not complaining, just connecting the two questions for future reference.

comment Can MADI run on OM3 (50/125) fibre?
what is MADI? You mention video at the end of your question, but it isn't clear how (or if) this is relevant to audio or video production.

comment Can a PA microphone be plugged into a computer?
Macs, incidentally, have line level input, not plug-in-power mic input. That's why cheap PC microphones don't work at all on modern macs. (older 68k macs may have been different when they included audio input)

comment Can a PA microphone be plugged into a computer?
Additionally: the TRS jack used on the mic-in port on a PC sound card isn't for stereo input, it is for "plug in power." This is conceptually similar to phantom power, but operates at around 3v rather than 48v. This is a legacy of the SoundBlaster design, which appears to have been an emulation of Sony's original plug-in power design for the Walkman. A better description than "proper audio interface" is "audio interface that provides line-level input." Any USB interface aimed at pro audio do this.
