Overview
| Name | Version: | Lucier Recorder - I am sitting in a Room 1.0.1 |
| Author: | PalePrince |
| Device Type: | Audio Effect |
| Description: | Inspired by Alvin Lucier’s 1969 piece I Am Sitting in a Room, this device automates the process of recording and re-recording audio played back into a space (or simulated space). The original work explored how sound is transformed by the resonant characteristics of a room over repeated iterations. This Max for Live device captures that process—starting with a dry recording and gradually layering room-affected versions—allowing you to explore sonic erosion and acoustic fingerprinting within Ableton Live. Features: - Record dry sample - Playback & record loop - Reverse playback & recording - Record to external file (supports .wav, .aiff and .flac) - (Iterative) manual gain ride - File-drop to set sample length (drag & drop file load currently NOT supported, set length and record in) - Mono/Stereo modes Requirements: - Track setup (consult "?"-icon in the device) Known issues: - Backwards stereo recording messes with panning - File recording is not 100% reliable, working on a fix. Recommended to re-instantiate plugin between recordings. - Reversed mode sometimes buggy when using longer samples. Will investigate. Update v1.0.1. - Reworked file recording system to be more reliable. - Touched up reverse mode. Not sure if fully fixed but definitely improved. Demo-Video: https://youtu.be/pfSpBCkm0QU |
