from Ander for your ears
UPDATE: Available now on beatport! Every purchase helps.
Proudly announcing: my first release, on Eminor Binary. I really have been looking forward to this: on the 6th of May my first track will be released. Get a preview of it on soundcloud. It will be available on beatport.com for your listening pleasure.
UPDATE: Well, M4L is great, but for live performance it is pretty much unusable if you want to use more than 4-5 M4L effects in your setup. An empty M4L device, be it MIDI or audio, uses about 5% of a single CPU. M4L runs inside the Live thread and consumes memory that would otherwise be available for Live. Moreover, it seems to be completely unoptimized for multiprocessor environments. All M4L devices run on the same core. This is a huge drawback, I will not touch on M4L again until they fix this in a future update. What a shame.
Well, I am not always producing music or listening to gorgeous new tracks. Actually, quite a lot of my time I am optimizing my setup, especially my Ableton Live set. I use a rather large set (I am desperately waiting for the 64bit version of Live) and have a couple of hundreds of devices in there. Now, with the new version of Max for Live from Cycling74, I actually started to build some devices to make my life a little easier. First creation is a so called one knob filter: Turn it to the left, it’s a lowpass, turn it to the right, it’s a highpass. It comes with all kinds of parameters to twiddle with and a nice graph to show you what you are doing. Download and enjoy. By the way: They are right when they say Max for Live is the best invention since sliced bread.
