In terms of a live interface, sending out up to 20 feeds would fit an RME Fireface800, which you could use with Mac or PC if they have firewire. (Last week he was in Australia, don't know if they are back yet or not.) You might google SAWStudio and go to their user forums and ask Frank, he hangs out there a lot. He also has a company that builds systems.

unless there is a conductor with a click and the musicians follow him and read music.) or is it just 5 live cameras, or some mixture of wild video plus camera work, or?įrank Farrell is Kenny Rogers guy and he uses SAWStudio and or Software Audio Console for Kennys live show, which includes a lot of video playback. Like, 5 video feeds of what? Is it synced to the music? Is the music tracked, with live accompaniment or how does the video follow the musicians (who, without a click track, will not ever start and stop where you want them to, nor be where you think they should be in the piece. What you want to do is not such a deal, but how you want to do it is an issue as to what tools it takes. Again sorry if I'm in the completely wrong place, feel free to point me in a better direction. In case you can't tell, I clearly have no idea where to even start on this stuff - I've never tried to take computers into a live music situation before, much less have video synced up. Is there any meaningful difference between Live on the PC and the Mac? Anyone got any comments to make about using PCs in a live performance situation? Plus getting a PC rackmounted is very easy. Although my studio is all Mac, I'd rather use PCs for touring due to the initial cost and subsequent ease/cost of replacement. I've got an HD3 with 2x 96 io's in the studio, but don't want to subject them to live usage.Ģ - Has anyone used Live (or any other DAW) to sync multiple video streams? Is there other software which can do this (preferably running on one or more different computers) and still be synced up to a DAW via MIDI/SMPTE/(other)?ģ - Mac vs PC. I've never used Ableton Live in any context, but my searches here indicate that Live is clearly my best choice.ġ - Any recommendations for a live performance audio interface? I will be running multiple audio channels to a desk engineer, so I need lots of TRS/XLR outputs (ideally 16+) and couldn't care less about preamps/inputs. I'm looking to stage a live performance with live musicians, pre-recorded audio material (already developed in Logic/PT) and five large video screens, each potentially playing different content, or a live camera feed.įor audio software - Logic is not necessarily ideal for live performance. I have searched GS already but I may not know the correct terms to search for.
