What You Talkin' Bout, Willits? Part 9

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 – running time 12:19
Exploring Ableton's just released Live 8

Guitarist and electronic musician Christopher Willits continues his monthly series from SoundArts studio. In this episode, he gives a rundown of Ableton's fabulous and just-beta'd Live 8 Looper effect, then gives a preview of the very exciting Max for Live.

Tune in once a month as Christopher shows us some of the ways he produces his own music, as well as the many cool things you can do with recording software. According to Christopher, "I simply want to excite people's imaginations and creative processes so they can more easily create the sounds and music and art they love."

" And crisper Willits and we're here at some -- Cisco again. And today -- get back into able to live and talk about some new features like eight. Before we get started yes probably heard the big news came out -- last month that NAND. You can just announced. Max relies."

" Okay."

" And you don't know -- for life is -- for life essentially is Maximus. Can be used -- able to live. Now with -- we can just create these systems have been able to -- all the objects of max that we need to within there. And our processing -- country it's absolutely amazing in addition to that -- all of a sudden and rolled out yet I'm just give you get visible. You know for -- like foreshadowing here. But in addition to that there's going to be win you can share taxes. On the different -- for -- passes with other important users while natural I was gonna do. In part with this sharing capability and able -- now. Is it's gonna we're going to see an exponential curve and the community of customized signal processing zones that we are. Rocking the beta version of able to -- right now. And no bugs so far gone off them. -- that they want to talk about and this episode. Is the looper looper is a new. A fact that -- and here is a bunch of new thanks we'll talk about -- and other episodes we're going to be talking about -- for lung function in future episodes will they rule that out officially. The looper is essentially. Every. -- it's it's like. It's it's it's the best of like all these old -- devices like. The -- ring. Dual head -- the deal for its kind of based upon these principles where. You can record -- loop and then the temple of the -- can be extracted and then map into evil and this is like awesome this for a long time is the problem for a lot of people didn't because of your claimed the drummer. Congressional and we'd stay in sync with -- you're making an eclipse slot. -- for them to have click track so we can do is make a little and then just you know he's there -- you can follow that -- stated view that. Ross just gonna talk about some of the candles muscle threatened -- is a lot of cool -- you can do. Can also take -- clip but in the looper and drag it into alone for a loop recording that you may dragon to put slot. And because -- compose and where as well that's absolutely awesome so I did hear about it. I took my my first channel this is my input channel yes -- full rundown of how -- set this up check outs in the first episodes. That we made in the series and you can see you on and work up a signal processing that is my input and got that -- and then. From cities who -- to traveler here and then I'm not very channel. You don't think there you've got the looper. I know there's a loop and you're already."

" about consumer here then the bloopers actually. An audio and so let's clear enough and we can make some news you can simply they're gone the easiest way to make a loop is just following the interface here's. Please note."

" Then record. Play. And overdone it's a plausible. -- It's like -- and delay in the new rumor. Can play didn't we gotta go so an awesome right cool."

" Finally something like that assists that's so crucial to so many people's process -- you can. Really easily do rhythmic loops are more Indians would be wanted to know what I've done here. So they'll have to be quickest of my handle at times -- just not my STV 1010 straight into the primers blooper. Will enable your -- not -- just click on the any. Or you can you can had an eyesore mini map and everything that we can map is is on the light blue collar. So when I definitely have records some gonna click on the record. And I'm gonna map that you have got the ninth pick in my SEB. It has the first button and that. That's has appeared and it's actually new G five has all this is new information now. And then and again you -- over the button and that's going to be to give you the Cleveland on three against -- for. There but there's going to be five so not only can I stop balloon that are reported but I can also clear up. The whole -- second start fresh from one to a case it's clear this up first sums can have five. But that out. At first of -- let's. That's still with the click society -- can understand how the structure of working here. -- player. In the click ignore what I would just have a good enough my headphones the episode on here Communists are recorded so it's a little happy that you."

" So that. --"

" It's. Okay. Yeah."

" The case then that's added -- And for that I'm going to get into because that's the overtook them."

" So there's."

" Stuff going on. And we can that is -- there's one there's no that's on the -- there's one. Room."

" So what we just did was recorded to the tempo of the global transport of of able to -- but we don't need to do that now. Under temple control weekly view us that file photo. The temple we said is going to be. Map to the global tempo and it -- those that do like Brister like quarter and its. -- You can see here based on what I played. There was a 115. Point 49 beats per minute as we can the some clear that five and it's become a little. -- thing here. Here."

" And then quit. You -- little but let's keep adding. Still useful harmonic presentation here."

" It. --"

" And again has gone down but just come switching back between -- double play into the I don't want to keep overnight knowledge -- is something that's going to add noise and signal. So when I decide and whatever no one play next and all my head over to."

" Okay."

" Yeah a yeah."

" So hopefully -- It's that whatever and elm. Does a couple other things gives -- some great help us even miss it to zero. --"

" So I think maybe."

" You know like minus twelve and not to. It was pretty. So let's not that so we can get -- in boomer -- map this need to. -- not been down to exit polls. My boat and you can read them and then click on the speed and I'm -- six. And then -- right over here and heard Specter and the media have been here who want to type in minus twelve. And for the maximum let's just haven't been zero so look this isn't going to do this toggle between balked at the end the regular speed. So there's a greater speed. --"

" Another thing we can just here's the late the late can divide the loop a two -- again. --"

" Number seven. This -- So divisive fight news seven and then I'm going to then multiply -- I -- not. Just get this thing going."

" And I can. But -- do. So just -- can -- please. It's tighter and tighter and."

" Button. Down what room. So there's obviously tell us what you can do here but I think of one and one other -- so others saying this -- is an infinite channel. What I'm doing just you know sort of have the full fluid -- evolution of the loop and it changes and and whenever -- meet new track it goes into this other track that alchemy and because of this -- track. And I can record the different clips. For as long as I want there -- what I'm doing this taking out of the loop track. And if you look at when things are going here had a thin is good to a bus. Returned track. Which has been sending back. He's loopy tracks and then -- different return -- moves you can millions."

" Pretty there's. We need and then. Now it's a large contracts. -- on I've got full crossing the same crossing when you're doing. Mindless -- recordings and also live and -- earlier in the series."

" Okay."

" This was -- stone house didn't."

" So there's so much that you knew this thing that's awesome that you're able then. Or listening to -- which is and they can come true. In future episodes are we talking more about life of me in the rusting problem excellent again. So thanks for being here is wonderful I -- day."

" Nor -- ropes where. It's war. And."

" And crisper Willits and we're here at some -- Cisco again. And today -- get back into able to live and talk about some new features like eight. Before we get started yes probably heard the big news came out -- last month that NAND. You can just announced. Max relies."
