Does anyone out there have an Event EZBus USB audio interface running on OSX? www.event1.com says it is compatible with OS 10.1 and later. Check the PDF manual download, its in there.

This string is getting long but I have another very basic question I can't find in the 1st 2 chapters. After I have my clips in the arrange window how do I get them to play as an arrangement? They continue to loop as if they are still playing from the clip window. I can position them but the audio d...

Are you saying Live does not have the ability to create groups and effects busses? So you have to run a seperate instance of an effect for every track you want to use it on? That can't be right. That would use up CPU too fast. And that would severely limit your ability to mix.

How do you do that?

Now I got it. Thanks again. The zoom tool works fine after you figure it out but it is not an improvement over other conventional zoom tools. It is simply "cute". I hope they fix the micro clip bug in 1.5, it is annoying to have to resize the clip after you transfer them to the arrange win...

Thank you again for responding. I think you are right about the microscopic clip bug. I see a tiny blinking sliver and I get a short blip at the insertion point. However, the manual that comes with the Demo ends at chapter two and Ableton has done a remarkable job of hiding the zoom tool. So far thi...

I can create clips from Reason (but the lengths are still a mystery, they appear to be random) but I cannot get them into the arrange window. The manual says they should just appear in the arrange window but they do not. I can choose a file from the browser but how do I arrange new clips while I am ...

I do not understand your question. (perhaps I'm too dense). Are you concerned with audio quality being effected by the time stretch algorithm? Or are you saying it is not possible to record audio without looping? What do you mean by, "support for non-looping audio"?

Did anyone find a fix yet? I am very interested in buying Live but not until there are OSX compatible soundcards for powerbooks.
It seems like there are still not enough pieces for the OSX puzzle yet.

Could you get a Magma PCI converter and stick an M Audio Delta card in it. Does anyone besides M Audio have OSX drivers yet?

I read an article in Future Music that said there is no limit imposed on audio recording length. Please explain your concern about support for non-looping audio. Are you concerned with audio quality or the ability to multi track or something else?

Where is rewire?? I don't find it in the manual and I can't find it in the program menus. I want to Rewire Reason to Live. Why is it so difficult?

I am confused as to the purpose of Live. Is it meant to replace Acid? Is it supposed to be more "Live" than Acid? Does it function as a complete music production tool that could replace a program like Cubase or Logic? What sets this software apart and what could I do that I cannot do with ...

What is "off-line rendering"? Are you talking about exporting loops as wav files?

My thought was more like will Live replace the need for Cubase. I like Reason way better than using VST plugins and I don't like sequencing loops in Cubase. So I would like to just use Reason for softsynth stuff and Live for tracking guitar and vocals. Can Live do multitracking? And if so, can it re...
