It would be cool if some SongFight people came by to join in the fun. I am planning to do a live stream sometime in the afternoon or evening... probably evening. Schedule will be released soon. Check out the TG forum for more details!

Right now I'm scheduled for 7-730 EST but I may go on early, like 630.

oops, no that's 7-730 pm cst - which is 8-830 est.
timezone confusions!
i may also do a second set later on, but that's not set yet.

Vastly HUGE fun!

Thanks Bill.

kamakura did an excellent "offline" song with the 24hf loops.

Absolutely! I had no idea until last night that you could actually play live and stream it... I knew it could be done at huge expense, but not from a home pc.
Surely this should be used for a live global songfight event. Each venue with a pc, a broadband connection and a feed off the desk.
It would need a lot of organisation from the pov of time zones, but it's got to be the future. Or am I waffling?

for many people it's harder to do... my setup is reasonably compact since i don't have a drum-kit, and i don't need to mic guitars and all whatnot. i can run my computer out and all my instruments out through my mixer, and i didn't do anything with live vocals this time (so i didn't need to worry about mic-bleed or anything like that)... i guess it all depends on how much complexity you're wanting to have
