set up a track with a utility with a decent gain on it, then set up a track that you actually record to, and change the "audio to" on utility track to your recording track.

In my opinion, without a real drummer and a set there's no way you are going to get the sound of a real drummer. If you're going to use a drum track you should probably not really attempt to make it sound like a real drummer, because it won't. The tradeoff is you have a chance to do something really...

Using Axiom pitch bend to change "banks"?

I'm not sure if what I am describing is even possible but here is what I would like to do... I have an Axiom 25 I'd like to use to control my livesets. Ideally what I'd like to do is have each of the 8 pads triggering different beats... then push the pitch bend to the top and have access to another ...

I have one. It's nice for the price. Don't have any real complaints about the quality or anything. Perfect for DJing and other live applications, I guess.

I've got one. Never had any problems. I really enjoy the action but in retrospect I wish I had bought a larger keyboard (except the faders on the Axiom 49 are cheap as hell)

ach, media center!

brand new laptop from my parents, really appreciate it, it's much nicer than my old desktop. Unfortunately, it's running Windows Media Center Edition which doesn't play nice with my m-audio products... I decided to try anyway. the Axiom appears to be pretty much functional (haven't tried the midi ou...

Less than in a live setting but to a certain degree, yeah, if you are playing keyboards etc and trying to keep in time.

I think you hit RECALL on the Axiom, then use the + button until it says P18. Then wait a second and you should be good to go. In Live, hit the MIDI button in the upper right - everything should turn blue. Click on anything and then press or move the controller that you want to assign to it. Then hi...

You need to enable them in Live's preferences. They are disabled initially which saves CPU.

Also remember that the A/B switch on the front of the fast track has to be on B to get your headphones on the 3/4 channels.

Enigma's not really necessary with Live's sophisticated midi learn... just load preset 18 or 19 and go to town.

For real. Breakage (a pretty well known DnB producer in the UK) produces everything on an older desktop computer using trackers. I think that can also be helpful, though - you are less distracted by things. It's easy to get caught up in sample or VST collection and be distracted from making music, o...

You could put a Scale, Arp or whatever onto the MIDI channel. Then assign a knob/button/thingy to turn these devices on or off. Or do something similar with racks. Quarter tones fall in between the notes on a conventionally tuned keyboard and I don't think Scale or Arp or whatever lets you do that.
