Double the sample with a simple sine wave kick in operator.

I feel like this is something really obvious that I'm missing, but I'm wondering if there's any way to do track-dependent midi control. In other words, you could have a filter on four different tracks, but the Midi CC would only control the filter on the active track.

Even if this isn't possible ...

Uh, I don't know what your guys problem is, Ableton Live already works fine with dual monitors. Make tunes on one screen and watch porn on the other.

But seriously, +1! This is a pretty standard feature for DAWs these days, especially in this price range.

Yeah, glitching everything by hand gives you the greatest control, but if you're going to be performing live it's not really practical. But there are plenty of ways to glitch automatically, let your imagination be your guide...

One overkill method I came up for glitching up loops, especially drums ...

It depends on exactly what you want to do, but when I want to do some basic glitching, I just resample everything I want to glitch down to one audio clip. Then I can just screw around with that audio clip as needed, reversing bits of it, duplicating bits to get stutter effects, etc.

It's been working fine for me so far in Live 6. Maybe it's because I'm on windoze?

Edit: Hmm, the preset saver seems sort of buggy. Every time I save a preset, switch to a different preset, then switch back, it sounds different. Somewhat annoying, but also kind of fun...

Ah, thanks. I kind of figured I was just missing something really obvious

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that Live often has a habit of leaving .wav files lying around even after they're no longer used in the track. For example, if you freeze a track, flatten it, edit it some more, then freeze+flatten it again, the original file still sticks around even though you ...

I think sampling hardware is not cheesy because the hardware is 1. More expensive and 2. Does not yet exist in software. Software synths tend to be less expensive, and the sounds already exist in the software; they don't need to be recorded.

I guess the point is in one case you're converting ...

bitcrushers are what you're looking for there's a couple on kvr and smartelectronix.com

Ah, thanks, that worked great!

I realized that theoretically, Redux should do what I want with the downsample feature. But for some reason it doesn't get the sound I want when I use that - but the bitcrusher ...

This is kind of an odd question. Is there any way to perform sample rate conversions within Live? I know you can use Redux to reduce it to 8-bit, but is there also a way to bring samples at 44.1kHz down to 22.05kHz? (I like the crispy sound of that "low quality" )

From wikipedia:
Nicolai plays with the rules of physicality. Sound is changed and evolved into time and space and transformed by looping oscillators and tone generators. Through these processes the essence of pure electricity is made audible. He works without sequencers, but mathematically edits ...

Oh, duh. I'm a dumbass . Yeah, I guess that workaround works for now. (Though it's kinda unwieldy having 16 midi tracks)

Thanks for pointing out the obvious for me

You could do the same procedure for all 16 channels. (If nothing else works.)

I considered this, but it won't work, because every button press would be sent to every channel, if that makes sense. Let's say I press a button that triggers C-4 on channel 2 - then splitter track 1 converts it to ...
