Peter Kirn of CDM Speaking at NAMM
Interesting! Peter Kirn of Create Digital Music will be talking at Ableton's booth about Live's warp features and how to control Live with a Max/MSP/Jitter video input from a webcam. Title link takes you to the post on CDM. BTW, I finally started on his Real World Digital Audio (link on right pane). The first chapter on how sound works is excellent.
