Yes! http://blog.grubbrother.com/2009/05/new-gear-yes/ http://blog.grubbrother.com/2009/05/new-gear-yes/#comments Fri, 15 May 2009 19:09:14 +0000 Grub Brother http://blog.grubbrother.com/?p=376 Nomen est omen, again. And guess what’s new? It’s Live 8, oh yes, yes!! Currently it’s still installing, but everything seems to work alright, and in about half an hour I will be playing around with it like a madman to get accustomed with all the wonderful new interface and workflow features. It has everything i’ve been missing in Live 7:

  • Groupable tracks! I missed this one so much! When you work with 20 to 30 tracks at a time while some of them should have the same effects or automation it can be really difficult to realize this without having the possibility to group them.
  • New automated crossfading features. E.g. useful when given a short sample and needing a long one: The short sample must be overlapped and overfaded several times with itself in order to create the long version. This process will be way faster then before when using the new Live.
  • Better MIDI-Editor which enhances the workflow of reediting MIDI recordings.
  • Transients! I need them to create soft and subtle tempo variations.
  • Much more wicked stuff! This is what i want! Especially the wickedness …

So long, cowboy. As you can see, I really like this software. Screenshots will be posted later in a seperate article.

Have you ever heard of a “Firebug”? As far as Web 2.0 experiences go, it seems to be most likely that this is the newest Mozilla software to enhance your digital life – but there you’re mistaken! Firebugs are more or less an offline product and very suitable for entertainment.

Actually we’ve caught about 200 of them and have stuck them into a plastic bag. There they stew a little bit before they are made a birthday present of: A friend of mine will get them all, these scrambling, cuttling little ones! Oh, how I like them! There are so funny crawling around in their bag!

See them:
