Yes... I am still here :D I've been very busy with a recent trip to Melbourne and lots of work happening in my day job. Over the last few days I've been devoting most of my music time to testing the new Beta versions of Ableton Live and ASIO4ALL.
Live is, of course, my primary work horse for music and ASIO4ALL is an excellent addition to my set up. What it does is allow me to use my laptop sound card as a low latency audio device. This is particularly handy when I'm making music on the move because it means that I don't have to lug around my full USB audio interface. Space in my laptop bag is only part of the problem... my Lexicon Alpha is USB powered and it's an unwanted drain on the battery when I'm out and about.
The updated version of Live is also looking pretty good in my humble opinion. It's mainly bug fixes and I'm very happy that they've been able to fix one of my two main issues (at the moment). The resolved issue is the moving of clips in between tracks which contain the new External Instrument plug-in. When this is wired to a multi-timbral VST plug-in it crashes the non-beta version of Live every time. So I'm very excited about this fix making its way into the stable version because I'd like to make use of this feature more in the future.
Anyways, back to it. Lots to do today :)
