[microsound] ableton live

[Anthony Saunders <anthony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

it seems to me to be a great mistake of elitism to dismiss live as 
merely being an interactive art piece from Monolake that allows others 
to sound exactly like them.

it's an intuitive, highly efficient piece of software that makes 
improvising with pre-recorded audio exceptionally easy. I haven't taken 
the plunge into Live 4 yet, but what fiddling I've done with the midi 
tools in the demo suggest that they've also managed to do the same for 
midi controlled virtual instruments.

This has freed up thousands of creative people from having to struggle 
with these mundane questions of how to perform computer music in a live 
setting, and instead focus on creating more personal things, whether it 
is new instruments in reaktor or max/msp patches, or simply working on 
melodies and compositions, etc.

Now, it's not perfect, but it's flexible enough that it's intensely 
useful for all sorts of computer music, from gabber to jungle to 
microsound.
