COMPUTER MUSIC / performing via SKYPE

« on: July 12, 2012, 04:39:07 pm »

Has anyone performed using Skype, routing through a DAW? I had a failed attempt today and wonder what I was doing wrong. I had a session open in Ableton (tried Logic as well). I had a mic patched in to the Live session (via RME 400) and the audience could hear that but they couldn't hear my any of the files I was playing back or any of the sounds through the other inputs (guitar, processing...). I could hear everything in my session and I could hear the people on the other side who I was meant to be playing with. I had the RME set for input and output in all the usual control panels and preference settings. I ended up just playing guitar, straight into the computer but none of the other formats worked. It seems like it should have been simple but never was...

Is anyone using any sort of travel guitar? I was looking at this thing:

It doesn't look as dorky as the Steinberg guitars of yesteryear. I just wonder what it sounds like.
Thanks. Happy new yEar all around. Stephen

SELF PROMOTION / Stephen Vitiello - solo exhibition, NYC opens January 12

« on: January 07, 2011, 10:24:30 pm »

I have a solo exhibition, "More Songs About Buildings and Bells" opening next week at
Museum 52, 4 E. 2nd Street, NY NY 10003 (museum52.com)
Opening: January 12th, 6 - 8pm

It's a small space. I'm dipping into two previous projects, showing a video I shot in the World Trade Center in 1999 that's never been shown before, and a reworking of my High Line installation with bell recordings from all over NYC. The show is up for a month. I think the closing date is Feb. 12 but I'm not 100% sure.

best, Stephen
