Hello,
Hey!
I'm from a DJ'ing background and prefer to play live and record tracks by
keeping everything as live as possible.
Good stuff, I'm pretty interested in the same things myself.
Hey, where do you play ? Do you mix records as well ?
Are there examples out there of these kind of set ups ? I need as many
examples as possible for encouragement if nothing else.
I'm working on a piece of software Luppp, which is a live-audio-looping
tool directed to live-performance.
Its currently not released yet (because its not ready), but its getting
quite far: Details on http://openavproductions.com/luppp
Looks interesting. So, of course, the little MIDI drum/percussion
loops are just the equivalent of mixing "DJ tools" records that have
locked grooves on them. I've even done it by blocking the tone arm
with something so it skips back into the groove. Instant drum loop!
I've recently released ArtyFX, a plugin set which is also somewhat gearted
towards live performance. It contains on plugin "Masha", which provides teh
Pioneer DJM style "Roll" / stutter effect: MIDI bind it for extra fun. See
http://openavproductions.com/artyfx
I've found creating a drum in Yoshimi sounds *much* richer and more
dynamic than samples.
I'm interested in how you do this, and what tips you have... any chance of
a tutorial / blogpost / screencast?
I originally found - "How to create drum sounds in ZynAddSubFX or
Yoshimi, Part 1" -
http://shrp.me/docs/zynaddsubfx_yoshimi_drum_tutorial.php
At the moment I am redirecting Hydrogen MIDI events out via MIDI to
Yoshimi to trigger the drum sound. The thing with Yoshimi is that you
can route multiple drum/percussion sounds from the same running
instance of Yoshimi into Jack/Ardour and record/tweak individually.
I'll put together a blog post/tutorial about this.
So what are you using out there ? Screen shots ?
I'm currently looping audio with Luppp, manually drumming in a beat using
a MIDI controller and Fabla ( http://openavproductions.com/fabla ), most
melodic instruments are recorded using a mic / DI-box, and doing effects
with ArtyFX.
The workflow is quite nice, but needs some stream-lining and improvement.
Also, Luppp needs to be released: the reason I'm holding off is because
there's no use in live-performance software that *might* crash during
performance. Hence, please sit-tight, and know I'm working on it!
Interesting. Is Lupp open source ? Even if it does crash it might be
wise to release anyway so you get testers/bug reporters. As long as
its clearly labelled alpha/beta with a disclaimer then you can't be
blamed for performance glitches. But of course depends on your own
personal development style.
Cheers, -Harry
All the best
