Re: Automation unexpectedly becomes disabled

I do believe that to be the case. I had my A 300 Pro configured as a control surface. After removing this the problem disappeared. I'm no wiser as to why. I remembered that some time ago I had also configured the A 300 as a control surface and this intermittently cause the cue volume to suddenly dro...

Automation unexpectedly becomes disabled

Hi All, I am automating the Dynamics of the NI String Ensemble. All of the automation works fine except that during playback (Session View) the automation will suddenly become disabled. It doesn't disable every time and nor exactly in the same place. Has anybody experienced this spurious activity? A...

Re: Midi Mapping in Session View

Sorry, I don't know what that means in the context of launch section, but I am assuming it is the parameters specified in the Launch Box that you are referring to. These parameters are the default with Legato Trigger and Follow Action is the next clip. Thanks for you response, but it is probably som...

Midi Mapping in Session View

I'm using a Roland A-300 Pro midi controller in Session View to help me record a series of new clips for a track. I have mapped the New button to the A1 pad and the A2 button to the launch button for the track that is record enabled. When I press A1 I successfully get a new clip and then A2 starts t...

How to add midi effects using Push 1

I purchased Push 1 several years ago but I didn't get on too well with it. I tried very hard to get in to the workflow of this new device, but it simply didn't work for me. I found the manual to be of little help to me as a newbie, especially as using a lot of the features for the first time was a b...

Some new keyboard shortcuts working

When I first used Live 10 I was a bit taken aback when I, in error, pressed the 'A' and saw the arrangement change so that it displayed the automation lanes. Now I can't seem to get this to work. In arrangement view I press A and nothing happens. If I use the automation button then this works OK. Si...

Driving a Multi Timbral in Ableton

I am using an External Instrument to drive the SonCat Purity VST. This is an excellent device but I find it tricky to work with in Ableton. I have Purity loaded on to one track and I have created a GM template with a further 16 Midi tracks, each of which is routed to its own channel on Purity with t...

Automation for VSTs in Live 10

I want to automate some of the settings in RealStrat and RealGuitar by sending Midi CC messages. I used to be able to do this easily in Live 9, but my experience with Live 10 so far has been a bit of a nightmare. To get the track to recognise RealStrat and RealGuitar for automation I have to 'Config...

Problem with clip automation

I am unable to define automation for panning on an audio clip in Live 10. I used to be able to do this easily in Live 9 from the chooser in the Envelopes Box. I do realise that Automation has changed in Live 10 but I can't seem to get at this specific parameter. I am using Session View. When I use A...

Re: How to set my kick to the groove of a guitar loop

Well, I have to say I'm not fantastic at the ear stuff anyway. It was OK when the loops were just a bit off or of there were only few transients to work with. But when both loops have lots of transients I'm done.. I need a bit of technology often at first to get me in the right area. In this case it...

Re: How to set my kick to the groove of a guitar loop

No, you didn't understand and thank you for a very helpful reply. I also understand that doing it by ear is is by far the better approach, but the groove of the guitar strum was quite complicated in relation to my straight percussion loop. I can combine the two methods. I was under the impression th...

How to set my kick to the groove of a guitar loop

Hi All, I have a guitar loop that I need to set a beat for. I have both the kick as a loop and the guitar groove as a loop. What I would like to do is re-shape the kick so that it comes in tight with the groove of the guitar strum. Both loops are audio. I can easily modify the structure of the beat ...
