Gotta love this dude for shootin back replies in the comments…
So for the curious:
He’s running Ableton Live 8 alongside a TTM57, a Korg NanoKey and an Akai MPD 32.
No Bridge just yet, but instead he’s using two sound cards—one as the 57 powering Serato, and the other, a MOTU Ultralite powering Ableton. A better rig than what I was trying to accomplish.
The question is, how is his CPU handling it? Nosaj Thing fell victim to overheating last year at a performance in San Jose, but quickly recovered later that week, so you would figure simultaneously running the two programs would pose twice the risk for the touring performer.
A word to the wise: Buy a laptop fan. Those venues can be hot as fuck sometimes.
