Thanks for your help Alex!

I only have 2 now? How I do I play my old tunes in the new version?

Hello - I am using a m-audio keystatopm pro88. Sometimes Live just seems to drop the device altogether - no remote control or notes - and I have to exit Live, eject the m-audio device from the system (windows 2000), power on & off the m-audio controller and then start Live again. (Can still use the ...

Hello - I could use some help figuring something out!

I am trying to acheive the following: record an improvised section (various tracks) on the fly using only my midi controller (easy to do = a scene) then improvise the next section where some of the tracks are replaced with a new part (i.e. bass ...

Hello - I am enjoying Live 4 very much.

I am finding it tricky to launch loops I am performing live in real time while then moving on to performing a subsequent loop on another track right on the beat. For example, recording the bass part on one track which becomes a loop and then immediately ...

I agree - a count-in is a necessary feature.

Peace!

Hello - I am finding the restriction of having one global record quantize setting limitiing when performing live. Could you maybe make the record quantizer a MIDI device instead of a global parm so record quantizing doesn't have to be global?

For example, I need the quantizing on for drums/perc but ...

Just finishing reading about using the scale effect to do this - there you go! Very cool!!!

Hello!

Hey, I was wondering if there is a way to assign a soft synth in Live to a certain part of a master keyboard? Not all soft synths allow you to set a range for their keyboards, and it just seems so natural to want to split a keyboard in half with the upper half being one soft synth, and the ...

Hello - I hope all is well :)

I am keyboard player using a midi controller with Live as my main performance interface/VST host and only use the laptop as a visual monitor (in session view). I have complete control of musical structures (least I think I do) and only have to touch my laptop if I ...

OK, so put this one near the end of the list but it would cool to be able to assign multiple indexes to a clip so one could get to different families of clips easily where clips can belong to multiple families.

For example, a kick drum pattern might be useful for three different styles of music and ...

Hello - I hope all is well with everyone.

Almost through the Live 4 manual - dig the recursive follow action feature = very cool and handy too!

OK, so I understand that the appregiator is a little tricky. Here's a really easy one: a MIDI event list editor = a table chronilogically sorted with each ...

...but I am using multiple clips - i.e. one for the intro & one for the song. I don't mouse around at all though and use midi assignments to launch/control everything. The laptop is pretty much just a visual monitor for me.

Good luck!

Really important for dj's...

A lot of music is “over produced” or has only a couple
of “intro bars” which makes normal mixing either
boring or difficult. Digital DJ software blows this
away by being able to loop an “intro bar”, drop it in
the mix, cut around with the fader, then turn the loop
off ...

Hello! I just got my upgrade to Live 4 and am very excited - very cool rocking software!!!

I know that there are appregiator plug-ins out there but that might be a neat instrument plug-in to put into your product.
