Here are some of LiveTrax's unique features: LiveTrax draws music and sounds from playlists you create in iTunes or on the Music app on your device. LiveTrax is also a cue controller which enables you to create "pages" of sound trigger pads.This function is perfect for for DJ's and Sound Engineers who need a quick and easy way to access and trigger music, sounds or sound effects on the fly. When a song has finished playing, LiveTrax waits for you to start the next song. LiveTrax is an audio cue controller/ backing tracks player for musicians who use tracks during live performances. I highly reccomend reading Postcapitalism by Paul Mason.LiveTrax is the original (and still the best) backing tracks player! It is creating the conditions for algorithmic control, and provides an injustice/powerlessness component, on top of an inequality component, that is driving hopelessness even in developed societies (eg AfD, Vox, UKIP, Trump). It is also creating massive power imbalances between corporations, states and people.


When capitalism is dysfunctional, it creates rent seeking models: Uber, AirBnb, music streaming, etc.Įconomic journalist Paul Mason says in his book Postcapitalism that this is unsustainable, as the main form of value extraction becomes credit and rent, and requires massive money creation, debt and financial risk which cannot be supported by value creation in the real economy. A commodity which can be replicated for no cost, and shared through the web by -insert the name your most favourite piracy software. When digital technology and the internet started making it into people’s households, something happened: music became a digital “commodity”. Of course the industry was booming, and artists exploited but received a livable check. The history of music sales shows that the amount of money labels and artists make from their music always depended on the media it was sold on: first vinyls, then casettes, and then CDs. Apple has 75% of digital music market shares on digital music sales, and the price of 99 Cents per track is set by Apple: that’s what’s called Monopoly pricing. ITunes going the route of only streaming is nothing but dangerous, but for the profit seeking model of music a "rational" one (because that's capitalism baby).
