How do I "Solo Exempt" a track in Live?

There is no word of it in the manual guys - can ya help out?

Solo Exempt means to me that the exempted track would continue to play and be heard even when any other track is solo-ed.

Thanks for your brilliance as usual ;-)

Launchpad Newbie - please kick my arse ;-)))

Okay now I get the idea of not being able to have a neat PDF to refer to AND the fact that I won't get a dedicated programming surface for the Mini (as I do for the NanoKontrol and Nano Pad) but here's my question:

Can I assign the MINI's Pads to freely chosen CC's (I guess that would have to be ...

Re: Launching of complex sequences automatically - or easily..!

WOW

That one suggestion of creating a MIDI track to auto-stop a song has now enabled me to also create something radical: a multiple loop option!

Super simple.

I marked the part of the song, say the solo, which is to be looped (or not) with a Marker.
I assigned to that Marker a MIDI CC, in my ...

Re: Launching of complex sequences automatically - or easily..!

Great feedback y'all - I actually tried to download 2 songs into 1 Set and it works.
But then I realized what is being robbed of me right there and then: The ability to loop certain sections in each song.

I have a lot of need for looping certain sections since that is the key feature I purchased ...

Re: Launching of complex sequences automatically - or easily..!

Hey!

Yes - the fact that I have live musicians with me who need discrete headphone mixes which vary from player to player.

Bouncing to stereo is totally not what my show requires.
As I get bigger budgets, I want to mute more tracks and have the live members play the part which I would then be ...

Re: Launching of complex sequences automatically - or easily..!

@infernal machine

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.

I can't work Live in any other way but Arrangement view as I need to see where in the song I am (I use Markers and automate a set of buttons to target certain areas of the song.

My sequences are extremely complex and go FAR beyond a ...

Launching of complex sequences automatically - or easily..!

Hey "Live"- Brothers and Sisters

does anyone have a good suggestion as to how I can sequence my show ?


I know about the arrangement view where you can fire clips simultaneously.
However, I constantly operate in the Arrangement view and I can't switch screens.

I actually need to see where in the ...

Crackling sound - and a Workaround!

This is fun:

On stage with a major performer in the US, I had routed my guitar through Ableton 8.4 (Mac Powerbook Os 10.6.8, 4Gig RAM) since the latency, set at 120 buffer setting, was workable....

I had put a track into constant input monitoring to utilize the fast EQ's and compressions along ...

LIne and Mic Input Confusion - HELP PLEASE!

Hey all,

I run Live on a Powerbook and would like touse no external hardware at all.

Is there any way to let Ableton access the two different types of Inputs at the same time?

For example: Digital Performer will let me use the Mac Laptop (Powerbook 2011) Line input (stereo) and a USB mic at the ...
