I can’t make it, but I wanted to pass along a link to the next Ableton Denver meetup. This all-ages meetup is on July 14th at 7:00 P.M. at the Lucid Gallery 719, 8th in Denver, CO.

Agenda:

  • Demo of OHM64 by Marc Wei
  • Bobby Collins will present on Serato Scratch (and I assume will talk a little about “The Bridge”)

Ableton Live 8.1.4 is now available. They list improvements as:

“Combination Mode is now active when multiple Akai APC40/20s are in use. This means that the topmost controller selected in your preferences will control tracks 1-8, the second controller selected will control tracks 9-16, and so on. When an APC40 and an APC20 are connected at the same time, the APC20′s buttons will default to Track Selection, and its faders will default to volume.”

For list of bugfixes checkout the forum post – http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=141021

You can update to the latest version here – http://www.ableton.com/latest_versions

It’s good policy not to upgrade mid-project. Since I’m in final mix down on my album with 8.1.3 and all is well so I won’t upgrade for a week or two. So, if you upgrade, drop a comment on this post and let us all know how it’s going.

MOG has just released their mobile music app for the iPhone, iTouch and Android devices. For $9.99 per month, subscribers get access to more than 8 million songs with unlimited listening and all-you-can-eat downloads, as well as MOG’s desktop and online service.

Features include:

  • Unlimited downloads: Subscribers can download any song or album directly to their phones and continue to listen to music even when out of cell or WiFi range.
  • On-demand streaming: Unlimited listening to any artist, album, or song at any time, with no ads and no limit on the number of consecutive tracks by a single artist
  • MOG Radio: Only MOG offers the patent-pending “MOG Mobius” music discovery engine, which enables users to control the mix of similar artists, from true “artist only” radio up to a full mix of similar artists.
  • Playlist access between website and mobile: Make playlists on MOG.com and access them on your phone. Favorite tracks that are bookmarked from the web are then integrated into a user’s personal library and appear in favorites on the mobile app.
  • High quality audio: Songs can be downloaded at the standard rate of 64 kbps or users can turn on HQ downloads (up to 320 kbps) to save the song as a larger file with higher audio quality. This gives listeners the option of receiving high quality downloads for maximum audio fidelity.
  • Multi-tasking: Android users can continue to play music with MOG while using other applications. (MOG will add multi-tasking for iOS 4 users)

Recently launched Fairshare Music is a UK-based music download site that donates half the profit from the sale of each song to charity. Presently, Fairshare has over 8.5 million tracks and 11 charity organizations with more coming soon. Fairshare could be a useful micro donation application for charities looking to create unique fundraising campaigns, and/or create an additional fundraising vehicle, especially if Fairshare had donation matching partners.
