What are some special requirements for equipment that is used in theater?
In theater, you usually work under pressure. Therefore you must be familiar with your equipment, you must know its potential and weaknesses, and you must be able to use it quickly — anything less steals time from the rehearsal. Directors always want to have sound examples in under a second — or even BEFORE they ask for them! So, if you have to read the manual first, or if you need time to find the necessary function, you’re already lost. The hard disk of our laptop is packed with sounds and samples. To be able to visualize them all in the Session View was quite a change for me, but once I was familiar with it, everything became very simple. Thanks a lot for the interview. We wish you a full house in the future and lots of fun using Live! As you work on developing Live, let me just say, keep on doing a great job!
