RE: Octatrack vs Ableton Live quick help



@ Anders
What are you talking about? No sorry, I love long answers! Have you noticed that I am a bit talkative too? Or writative....
Anders, I decided, I want it!
Damn!
I knew!
When I had to decide for a looper I felt it that I should have bought the OT.
Now used I am buying it for 900, and I paid 600 for the Boomerang, it is crazy to even just think that you should save those 300!
I mean, of course, talking of my needs. Very possibly other looper artists would find the Boomerang a better option.

Thanks man! I will very probably contact you soon to receive some help with the Octa if you agree.
:)


@ Per
I know I know, I will try to become a responsible adult as soon as possible. Next time I need something I will try to take it easy.
This time, once again, I was carried by the events which brought me to find Ableton and OT at a good price from good nice people.
And I did not want to lose the deal.

Anyway thanks a LOT for your answers (great answers!), I understand much better now.
I just am curious about why you need a graphical view of "what comes next" in an improvisation looping session where supposedly you do not have anything prepared.
Or you play the music live (no playback) but based on a structure, not 100% improvisation? I mean, like having themes which you know and play...

Yes, I absolutely need the timestretch and the pitchshift, separately, not as speedshift. So, thanks for telling me how it works. I am sure I need the OT now and I am less sad tor emptying my bank account.

The scripting options of Moebious seem VERY interesting to me. I will definitely investigate more on that. Thanks.


So, here we go:
I will buy OT and Ableton, a LaunchPad and a FootController. All used of course (foot controller still I have to find it).
I will extend the Ram of my notebook and clean it a bit.
And I will use Ableton (alone or with Moebius) and the OT.

Now I have to sell some stuff to pay my bills.
Oki.
Thanks again.
