did you have any luck with this? I'm trying to get it working with Live 6 for what it's worth, sometimes Live sees the MIDI signals!

yeah see I don't want all the jog wheels & extra bits. I can control everything from within Ableton

I just need to send sound to a PA & I'm finding most soundcards have extra stuff I don't need (mostly inputs)

thought maybe I could find something cheaper dedicated to DJs, or at least the same ...

there seems to be a gap between simple 2 channel soundcard / controller combination boxes & 4 channel ones

it seems like everything with more than 2 channels comes with effects & a bunch of potentially unnecessary I/Os

is there a box out there with a standard DJ layout for more than 2 channels ...

I freed up about the amount of hard disk space I'd need for a set, then reduced the Maximum Cache Size to less than this amount. It seemed to alleviate the problem. I had a glitch the other night as my set reached the limit of my disk space & the disk space was less than the Max. Cache Size (it wasn ...

hmmm.. so is this something to do with the amount of R. A. M. space the audio you've played is occupying? In other words, once I've hit play on a Gb worth of audio files, they're all in the R. A. M, so when I hit play on the next one, will it hang momentarily as it reallocates R. A. M. space or ...

Hey I've got something similar (specs below) & I'm finding once I've played enough audio files to fill up my R. A. M. Live will hang momentarily when I trigger an audio file. Not all the time - it might happen once in a 2 hour set.. not sure why this is... maybe it clears the R. A. M. the first time ...

did a quick search but couldn't find this exact problem

basically I'll have one audio clip playing, then when I hit play on another, all audio cuts out for a fraction of a second before continuing as if nothing had happened

it's not all the time, just every so often, but a little embarrassing when ...

Hi

been recording some vinyl to start DJing from Ableton

before I get too far in, I thought I should ask..

am I better off recording to wave files or AIFF?

I know the quality is the same I'm just wondering about what one is less processor intensive

got a Mac so assuming maybe AIFF, but if there ...

thought the demo might let me record, but not save / export arrangements...

What does "tried Audacity. no good with firewire" mean? I've used audacity with my firewire audio interface with no problems.
yeah right! Weird.. it was crashing when I hit record

I found something on another forum about ...

yeah I asked the outlet for the serial number this morning

still waiting for a response

don't s'pose you guys can recommend a free recording app for Mac?

tried Cubase LE that came with my card. No good with Intel Duo chips

tried Audacity. No good with Firewire

Garage Band only does 16 bit (I ...

Hi all

I've ordered a copy of Ableton but it's taking a while to be shipped

so, in the interim, I need to start recording my vinyl

(I'm using it to DJ & have a set next Friday night)

does the demo version allow you to save recordings?

also, if I beat map sound files, will this info be kept ...
