what about pressing play on a bunch of 909 rhythms and 303 patterns? iam not trying to cause beef but live is a lot more than just triggering things, ableton1, 2 and 3 to a point could have fallen into a loop trigger catagory but even then the boundaries of that loop manipulation were way beyond other stuff........ableton 4 is whatever ya want it to be and 5 is really beyond most stuff part from being a bit late with the freeze fuction........

no no man. toally understand. its cool.

if someone has a load of patterns in their 303 & 909 then jams them, thats live. i used to play live with MC303s & drumachines just on a midi clock. just manually changed patterns & muted things & added delays.

but i had to change things or it would be 1 hour of one pattern lol

and i used to **** up ny gettin the wrong pattern or a pattern not changing when ithought it was going to & muting the wrong channels lol

but thats where ya learn. makin mistakes is a huge part of learning to play live..

first time in a room of ppl you feel crap. after dozens of shows, ya just push on & get over it & try to make up with some cool trix lol


even if it was Reason & someone is using Matrix sequencers & Redrum & jus changin the patterns manually as they go.. theres a margin for error, so i see that as live..



ppl that press play on Cubase & stand at a desk jus using sweeps & fx ? dont get me started on these poxy c**ts
