After 10 years with Cakewalk
 

I've moved to Ableton Live. Got a good deal on a V.6 and some Power Book and a CSi training vid. Plus I kept the Behringer BCR2000 controller which works fine with Live. Might still use Sonar to record and trim up audio loops, but the non-linear arranging possibilities in AL are pretty amazing.

nice move OVM!

Did I hear you say Powerbook?

Congrats mate! I'd love to check out Live at some point, but am far too busy working. Here are some pics from beautiful Mornington Peninsula, in VIC:

Ah.. Err, Powerbook. Umm, I meant to say a book called Ableton Live 6 Power.

You know I'm waiting for you to croak doing some mad dangerous film shoot, Jase. Inheriting is about the only way I'm ever gonna get me a Mac, unfortunately. Where are you working just now, btw?

This software is unlike anything I've ever used before. I'll post some chunes next week.

Edit: Beautiful pics! Where's VIC? Victoria, Aussie? You take them with that new camera of yours?

My God Jase! I'm downloading all thos pictures to use as desktop wallpaper! Jesus, that place is beautiful!

Matsa: Yeah, Victoria, Australia, on Port Philip Bay near the Mornington Peninsula. I was very surprised at how gorgeous it was down there. The weather was nice to us for a few days and we had a chance to go swimming and check out the Harold Holt memorial. He was one of our PM's in the 60's that went for a dip and never came back... odd.

Alex: Let me know if you want hi-res... I'll email them to ya!

I'm getting better at using the new camera, and there is a little photoshop magic happening there

Jase,

I would love high-res images if you have them available. I'll PM you an email addy to send to, THANKS!!!

:)

Surpised? Another Sydney-sider who thinks they live in the centre of the universe :) Southern Victoria is beautiful, just mighty cold for much of the year ...

Cheers,

Cold? Sounds like a good opportunity to open a tanning salon! Is this a viable business down there, LivePsy? Or is the population density too sparse to allow profit?

Its not Scandanavian cold, just not quite like those pictures for most of the year. I'm sure you snow dwellers would think winter was warm.

Unfortunately tanning studios are not that successful because some jackass scientists fixed the hole in the ozone. So you can now go out and get a tan for free. And selling ice creams at the beach didn't work out too well either because I ate most of the profits...
