Live Laptop Update
In mentioning the Playboy Psychonauts show last night, I forgot to note that this was the first show where I used the laptop that had been upgraded to Reason 4 AND Leopard. I pleasantly experienced no issues live, although I had to recreate the files I used - for some Reason (sorry), I couldn’t get the keyboard in the Sequencer view, and the audio wasn’t coming across properly. It was no big deal, as the files were just one synth and a loop. I noticed it occuring before the OS upgrade, too, so I’m assuming it’s a Reason problem. It does mean that I’ll have to go digging through my other old files and see if that’s a problem for everything. The physical setup went smoothly - since I tossed the audio and MIDI interfaces in a rack with a direct box and the appropriate cords, it’s been no problem. It also means I don’t have to travel with an amp.
At this time, the next Psychonauts show comes up in February, so I’m looking forward to getting some new songs and sounds ready.
