Will the recording of the concert be available to us to see? I would like to see it again!

Concert Order
Please see below for a concert order. We will try to keep the concert moving by have all three stations (studio laptops 1 and 2 or your own computer) filled with performers at all times, one performing and the others preparing.
If you are not, for any reason, not listed here or must adjust your time on the concert (think roughly an hour per section), let me know ASAP. I have tried to accommodate all desired times, alternate studio and personal computers, and provide variety in the performance. I’m excited for the performance.

Project 2
Hello everyone,
I’m going to use my project 2 as starting material for the final project, but I didn’t share it in class, so I thought I’d share it here. It has a lot of room for improvement, so all feedback (negative and positive) is welcome!
Interconnectivity and network controllers
Below are several examples of the methods discussed in today’s lecture.
1. Ableton Live and Rewire:
https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209774305-Using-Live-and-ReWire
2. MIDI loopback devices and the OSX IAC bus with Live:
https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209774225-Using-virtual-MIDI-buses-in-Live
– On Windows there is MIDI Yoke, part of MIDI OX
3. Soundflower audio loopback:
- Download: https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower (code), and https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower/releases/tag/2.0b2 (installer)
- Information: https://soundflower.en.softonic.com/mac#app-softonic-review
4. Open Sound Control
- Information (technical): http://opensoundcontrol.org/introduction-osc
- TouchOSC Editor information and download
PD patch examples from class:
- Simple OSC example osc_simple-dumpOSC.pd
- Wiimote resonance filter example: wiimote.pd
- FaceOSC face tracking software download.
- FaceSynth (my own PD patch for parsing FaceOSC: FaceSynth
- Reactivision / reactable information
Studio Access
Hey everyone, does anyone know how to access the studio without an ID? Currently locked out… thanks
Useful texts for your projects
Hello 1421 People,
These links have quick and useful information about reverb and compression in the mixing process. You might find tips that may help you in your first project. Enjoy!

Studio B audio fixed AND saving Live projects for upload
Two issues to bring to your attentions:
- The audio in studio B was crackling in Ableton Live and I was able to fix it today. Someone had apparently set the audio buffer (how much audio the system stores before having to spit it out) to a very small value. I have increased the buffer and now all audio sounds perfect.
- When saving your Live projects (the project folder), it is important that all of the audio files used in the project go along with it. Please use “File–>Collect All and Save” to make sure all sounds, wherever they may be stored on the lab computers, have been “collected.
#2 has an FAQ if you need more details: Collect All and Save in Ableton Live
Saving all project materials together in one folder in Ableton Live
Ableton Live projects are stored in folders, containing all pertinent audio files, processed files, MIDI, and other project details. When files are added during mixing (drag-and-drop, etc), their location on the disk is referenced BUT the file itself is not automatically copied into the project folder.
In order to make sure that all files are stored together in the project folder (to bring to another studio, to upload as part of an assignment or finished project, etc), please use “File–Collect All and Save”, which gathers all files into the project folder automatically.
See here for more details: How to ‘Collect All and Save’ a Live Set
If you wish to view a more detailed view of all gathered sounds in any project, this can be done with the “File Manager”, with more information available here.
