Djing with live effects - how to stop the volume reduction?

Re: mixing ambient of chill with beatless intros using live

Maybe there's a different solution, but the stuttering sounds like a bug... trouble is toggling warp causes the audio to stutter briefly. :? Does toggling warp on a clip that's not playing causes audio on all tracks to stutter? Does it still stutter when you set the audio buffer to a high value? Wh...

mixing ambient of chill with beatless intros using live

here's one ive never managed to figure out. if i'm mixing ambient or downtempo stuff sometime i beatmatch but often i don't want to. for example i might be playing a dub track at 68bpm...then want to mix in a psybient track at 89 bpm which has a long beatless intro. in a chill mix the jump in bpm is...

Re: how can i 'undo' my own warp changes to a track?

just to be clear...this question pertains to a track that's been saved after manipulation

how can i 'undo' my own warp changes to a track?

i'm still making the transition to 8 after years of using 6 and basically botched the warping of a few tracks. so my problem is i'd like to reset my manipulation of the warp markers on these tracks and start over. trouble is in live 8 if i delete warp markets the waveform for the track stays put. ho...

Possible to make tiny Tempo changes without SHIFT + ARROW?

during my mixing i like to make small tempo changes, but if i assign tempo to a controller dial Live will only give me tempo_range / 127 resolution, which will usually results in 1 bpm jumps - far too harsh. i realise i can tighten the tempo range but i like to move over a vast BPM when i perform. w...

Re: Live 6 and OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

+1

I use Live 6 and it does everything i need. I will not be impressed if Ableton drop support for it with Snow Leopard.

Why no info on Live 6 and Snow Leopard?

I am perfectly happy with the features of Live 6 but would like to move over to Snow Leopard.

I hope Ableton does the right thing and supports Live 6 under Snow Leopard. I've heard Live 6 suffers frequent random crashes at the moment.

hey rob, thanks for the comments, maybe it would be an idea if any follow up posts/comments made on other forums could be retracted to bring people up to speed that this was a miscommunication.

and that artist and agent had no problem with me using my setup in the first place.

thanks

guys, just a follow up post, have spoken to deadmau5's agent, steve hogan and he was very concerned about how this thread escalated. he had no problem with me using ableton in the first place as long as the set-ups were kept apart. there was obviously some miscommunication going on somewhere. i'm so...

just in case my earlier post was missed:

the problem is sorted. they are allowing an extra laptop set-up as long as its well clear of deadmau5's rig.

perhaps crossed wires with agent about proximity of two ableton set-ups on the same night? who knows.

guys, it's sorted. the bpm restrictions still stand but an extra ableton rig is now allowed as long as the set-up is kept well clear of deadmau5's rig and sfx unit. seems like crossed wires with agent and manager. his agent was still not happy about extra set-up but caved in when persuaded the set-u...
