  * Bundler
  * SoundCloud
  * osc-ruby
 * OSCulator

  * Make sure, that SoundFlower 2CH is active.
  * Set SoundFlower 2CH as standard Output in Mac OS X.
  * Make sure, that SoundFlower is Input on the track in Ableton you want to record to
  * Make sure, that Ableton has correct MIDI mapping (maybe remap with the help with the help of OSCulator)
    * OSC/abletonlive/record (CC100/Channel10) on "Play next scene"
    * OSC/abletonlive/stop (CC100/Channel11) on "
  * Make sure, that track you record to in Ableton is armed for record, record on Scene Launch is on, Scene highlight is on first scene you want to record on
  * Make sure, that the folder /temp exists and is writable

== More Stuff ==
To get the Audio into Ableton Live, I use SoundFlower. There is probably a nicer way, to get it Files into Live directly (AppleScript? Max4Live?).

I did not found a good gem to do MIDI output in Ruby, so I used osc-ruby and OSCulator to send MIDI to Ableton Live.

Changing the SoundCloud query is pretty easy and can alter totally, how this works.
