.NET programmer by day, amateur musician by night. Huge fan of Ableton Live and electronic music in general.

You can toss me an @ mention here in AVP's chat room anytime you want to reach me.

Here are some links:

comment What is the best way of dealing with latency in Ableton?
Probably worth mentioning that ASIO is a Windows thing. The equivalent for Mac OS is Core Audio. I don't know what it is for linux.

@Ed J you're quite right. Calling it "Ableton" has become a habit because people get confused when I say "Live" in person and they of course can't hear the capitalization :)

Keep in mind that pitch correctors (like Autotune) don't do quick linear jumps if you don't have them set to! You can have it slowly creep in over some time. What you're describing is correct for more extreme settings but a more subtle application will escape this kind of scrutiny.

comment Cheap DIY solutions, like using egg cartons
They're half-decent diffusors though, which can help with flutter echoes and reduce reverb decay time in the room. But you're right, they aren't worth much as absorbers.

Just make sure you make some DIY bass traps too! Sofa cushions, sleeping bags, and blankets don't absorb the whole spectrum, so if that's all you have, things can start sounding boxy or boomy from the unattenuated bass.

That strikes me as a pretty good idea actually. I'm going to try that next time.

comment Should I use compression in live settings?
@Skilldrick That's only true if you raise the level after compression. Some compressors do this automatically, which may be what you're thinking of.

comment What does the term quantization refer to?
It's worth noting that it's possible to quantize just the beginnings or endings of MIDI notes, as well as quantize only a percentage of the way, so the "cleaned up" data still isn't quite exact, and still retains some of the eccentricities. It's a very useful feature!
