Re: Best interface to get Guitar into Live 8

cool - might give it a go then if I decide to go the interface route again...

does it rely on ASIO drivers? My worry is that my DAW is using my Audiophile ins as default and not letting me open any other currently so might be an issue with ASIO to some extent

Re: Best interface to get Guitar into Live 8

Thanks - this looks similar to the Xport though in terms of functionality. Are you able to select this as an audio input for Live or does it open up as a VST?

Re: I may be using External Instrument wrongly - can anyone help

Wow, the routing possibilities seem very cool with that. Makes me want to consider getting some outboard at some point :) Anyway, check this dude's thread: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=154543 He seems to be going through the same problem you are experiencing. I'm not familiar wi...

Re: I may be using External Instrument wrongly - can anyone help

OK - set this up again and played around with soundcard settings etc - now can achieve volume/mixer control via External Instrument from the Virus so thats progress. Also can attach Abletons effects to the clips as normal so even more progress. So everything seems to be working fine other than I'm h...

Re: I may be using External Instrument wrongly - can anyone help

I'll give it a go - I thought it might be something to do with soundcard as well - I currently have soundcard output set to its mixer setting I think - this was the only way I could hear Ableton sounds controlled by my USB Keystation as well as Virus inputs so maybe the Virus audio output is coming ...

Re: I may be using External Instrument wrongly - can anyone help

I have indeed - got the audio outs going to audio in on M-Audio Delta interface and seems to be working OK I might have the wrong idea conceptually about this - should I be able to process the incoming audio from a hardware synth at clip level within Ableton using the Ableton effects such as compres...
