- Can I Use Omnisphere On Two Computers
In just the past several decades, music production has moved from exclusively analog (magnetic tapes and mechanical devices) to being almost fully reliant upon digital technology (computers). So much music is produced today with the aid of computers that a generation has grown up knowing nothing else. 8-tracks and cassette tapes have been replaced by Pro Tools and hard drives. With computer speed and capacity increasing and size decreasing, musicians are turning from traditional instruments to laptops for convenience, portability, and reproducible sound quality.
A brief history of my musical life
My family had a console piano that I learned to play on growing up. The 'nice' keyboards and synthesizers were not new technology but were still expensive. I had a Yamaha PSR-6 keyboard that opened up an entirely new realm of musical possibilities to me. With onboard rhythms and an assortment of various sounds, I began to write basic 4-chord songs that I thought were pretty good at the time.
Hey Ryan, I was just curious if you have a guide/tutorial listed anywhere explaining how one really starts up and really even begins the amazing program that is Omnisphere 2 (running through Mainstage 3)? I have already installed said programs on my MacBook Pro, and have even gotten into the Omnisphere patch browser. Ultimately, Omnisphere 2 is a tremendous follow-up that takes the synth to the next level and beyond. If being at the cutting edge of sound design appears anywhere on your list of music production priorities, it's an instrument that you simply have to own. Does Omnisphere 1 need to be installed on my computer before purchasing and installing the upgrade to Omnisphere 2? Upgrading to Omnisphere 2 will supply the complete 60GB Omnisphere 2 sound library, which includes the sounds from Omnisphere 1.
I started experimenting seriously with computer-based music production in 1995 when I bought a Sound Blaster AWE32, a sound card for my PC that had several megabytes of onboard samples rather than sounds synthesized by an FM chip. With Cakewalk Professional on Windows 95 I wrote many songs, from basic piano pieces to techno with the emulated TR808 drumkit. I would always be looking for new MIDI files to download from the internet to see how well they sounded on my new Sound Blaster card.
In 2002 I purchased a Korg Triton Studio, a 76-key music production synthesizer. It was by far the best sounding keyboard I had ever owned. The Triton is still a top-notch keyboard today. But I ended up selling it several years later because of the advantages I saw in using software over a hardware solution.
While working for a large tech company in 2004, I purchased my first Mac laptop. It wasn't until moving to Kansas City in late 2004 that I began to experiment with live production on a laptop. After purchasing Ableton Live and Propellerhead Reason in late 2004, I began to use it on stage for my sets for the versatility of its sound and portability of the entire rig (over a massive keyboard).
What do you use on stage for your sets today?
The hardware I am currently using is an Apple MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM and an upgraded 7200 RPM hard drive. I've found that the 7200 RPM drive is very helpful in providing faster loading time of samples, especially when I have a lot of sound already playing back. I use a MOTU Ultralite firewire audio interface to connect the Mac to the sound system. I also have a Akai APC40 MIDI controller to control Ableton Live in realtime so I don't have to use the Mac's trackpad or a mouse to control instrument parameters.
Software
Ableton Live
I currently use Ableton Live 8 as my main DAW on stage. In addition to being suited specifically for live performance in looping and mixing audio clips, Live can host virtual instruments and has a plethora of effects and presets.
Screenshot of audio tracks and loop setup
Each track is set up to use a specific instrument, and I load all of the instruments I commonly use in sets to be able to access them quickly. I'll often add tracks or just replace an instrument on a track if I want something different that I haven't already loaded. I'll just use the track's 'arm' button to switch between instruments as I'm playing.
As you can see, I have many pre-recorded loops (that I make ahead of time) that I can recall at a moment's notice depending upon where we go musically in our set. I've taken the 'one large Live set' approach as opposed to 'multiple small sets' simply because I can't quit Live and load a new set in the middle of a spontaneous musical time.
Check out Ableton's site for more information, tutorials, and tips for using Live.

Ableton Essential Instruments Collection 2
An addon specifically bundled and constructed for Live, the EIC2 adds a great sounding, not-so-resource-intensive grand piano sample that I use extensively. I also use some of the EP and organ sounds from EIC2, but a majority of the sounds I use on sets come from the extremely powerful Spectrasonics Omnisphere.
Check out EIC2 here.
Spectrasonics Omnisphere
Although I use more in the studio, Omnisphere is the backbone of the sonic possibilities with my live rig. From traditional pads, strings, and synth instruments to more exotic samples like ethnic instruments and voices. I don't want to give an entire tutorial of Omnisphere here, but suffice it to say that it's totally worth the money!
Some of my favorite stock patches that I use live:
Plucking the Piano Harp
Brutal Megalomaniac
Adagio Transparent Strings
Big Green Strings (originally from Atmosphere, Omnisphere's predecessor)
Glorious Guitars
I also have many many custom made patches that make up my sound collection that I use often. I'll let you try to figure those out yourself.
Check out Omnisphere here.
Quantum Leap Ra
Quantum Leap Ra is a plugin that provides me with lots of ethnic instruments, from Middle Eastern strings to the Bongos, Bansuri, and Banjo. I'll use these instruments sparingly so that when I do use them they really add a unique sound to the band.
Find more info on Quantum Leap Ra here.
Propellerhead Reason
I no longer use Reason as part of my live rig, but I figured it was worth mentioning. I used to run Reason rewired to Live, having a MIDI track for each instrument I wanted to play in the Reason rack, and one Audio track set to receive audio from Reason through rewire. The downside of this setup was that I had to map individual faders on my controller to Reason's mixer, and I couldn't control the volume of each instrument directly from Live without having a separate audio track for each corresponding MIDI track.
Demo video
Here is a little video I made back in 2010 demonstrating the power of Ableton Live in a worship meeting with only a worship leader and myself.

Spectrasonics is keenly aware that many users no longer have computers with optical drives and there are numerous scenarios when the convenience of downloading or the speed of a USB drive would be a preferred form of installation for different types of users. To address all the various user needs and scenarios, Spectrasonics has a new Support Services area that offers Alternative Installation USB Drives and Additional Download Installations for optional purchase. These services are available for purchase in our Webstore/Techshop for registered users.

For example, if an original owner of Atmosphere takes advantage of our special 'legacy' upgrade program to Omnisphere 2, the owner is not permitted to resell either instrument and no license transfer will be granted.
If I upgrade my Omnisphere v1 to Omnisphere 2 can I later resell and transfer the license of either instrument used to someone else?
Since it is the same original license, Omnisphere 2 would still be eligible for a future license transfer. However, Omnisphere 1 cannot be transferred as a separate product.

Can You Have Omnisphere On 2 Computers Video
Will the audio import in Omnisphere 2 be for single audio files or multi-samples?
Omnisphere 2 supports one audio file of any length per soundsource. You can layer up to four soundsources in a patch and 8 patches in a multi. Keep in mind that Omnisphere's focus is as a synthesizer and will never be a sampler with multiple velocities, key-mapping, round-robin, etc. - there are other instruments out there that do that very well.
Can I Use Omnisphere On Two Computers
Omnisphere 2 allows you to easily turn your audio files and even your audio tracks/mixes into synthesis source for Omnisphere 2's powerful oscillators. It's remarkable how much you can creatively mangle one sound and transform it into something awesome!
