Welcome to the board, Eric.

I've had experience using Harmony Engine on the fly but not live where latency would be an issue. My best recommendation would be to download the trail version of Harmony Engine and try things out for yourself.

You can download the demo by navigating to the following link: http://www.antarestech.com/download/demoform.php

From the Antares Harmony Engine page:

**************************
Fully Compatible Hosts

The following host programs have been tested to be compatible with the full functionality of the latest versions of our plug-ins (with the exceptions noted for Ableton Live and Adobe Audition 3).

Ableton Live 7 & 8 (not compatible with Harmony Engine Evo, Harmony EFX, and ARTICULATOR)

*****************************

So Live isn't compatible, unfortunately. Are there any plans in the works to make it so?

I have used Harmony Engine in live performance, going through Digital Performer 7. With good firewire hardware (and some extra practice!), latency can be manageable.

Live doesn't support multi-channel audio processing (which Harmony Engine Evo and harmony EFX require). It's not a fix that Antares can make.

Thanks, Art... I'll take it up next with Ableton, but I won't hold my breath. In the meantime, I'm getting pretty nice results through Digital Performer and a MOTU firewire interface.
