Re: Compressor Side Chain Clicks.. Bug?

Might have something to do with the newer algorithm and the relative attack time. Have you tried tweaking the attack when you use the upgraded compressor? Yours is set super fast.

Re: Having Latency Issues on MacBook Pro:

Hey snst, Are you using an audio interface? I'm guessing you're not...which is most likely the issue, mate. I booted up Live without connecting to my audio interface and I got those exact same latency specs when using the 64 buffer size. I am not using an AI. Do you have any recommendations that ar...

Re: Which MacBook?

Not sure if this is too late....USB ports always seem in short supply when music making. I've got a Sabrent 10 port USB hub and it's been fantastic in the 2 years I've owned it. https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-10-Port-Individual-Switches-HB-BU10/dp/B0797NZFYP/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=11U0SSF4LLE8J&ke...

Re: Recording Got Wiped on Prior Track - Normal?

Ooooof, that's a tricky one. It is possible to arm multiple tracks at once (this can be found in the preferences), so maybe when you armed the second track the first track also remained armed (and yup, usually arming another track will automatically disarm the previously armed track). Or, there coul...

Re: LIVE 10 STRANGE CRACKLING ON PLAYBACK

Hey mate.

When you change the sample rate (which sometimes gives me issues) are you changing in both Live and in your Tascam interface?

Re: Guidance on Setting up a new laptop

Hey mate! Congrats on the new computer! 256gb certainly doesn't go too far when you have a ton of audio/VSTs so I think adding additional SSDs is going to help. It's really useful if you have Kontakt/sample-based VSTs - the samples load or "stream" (poor choice of words, I know) much faste...

Polyend Tracker - Old School Joy Joy

Hey Pop-Pickers, Some of you UK folks might get that reference if you're north of 40 years old...speaking of which.... After a year or so of umming and ahhhhhhing, I picked up a Polyend Tracker and I am absolutely pumped with it. I started out my musical journey making music on an Amiga 500 using Th...

Re: Buying a 4K monitor - compatibility with Live?

last email - my monitor is actually a 42" Sony Bravia, mate. I sit about a foot away from it. Holy cow !!! 42inches, one foot distance?! In other words 30cm away from it !!! How you manage to focus in this giant screen? I'm 75cm away from my 24" monitor and I'm really sceptical if I shoul...

Re: Buying a 4K monitor - compatibility with Live?

Yup, another vote for MacOS scaling. Looks sharp and crystal clear on my 4K monitor. If i don't use the OS's scaling, sure - everything looks tiny on my 4K LG. But using the macOS's 'Looks like 2560 x 1440' option (or Window's 150% scaling) it looks great, like 2K res but sharper. Actually I’m on w...

Re: Tracks Out of Sync (Regardless of Warping/Compensation Option status)

Oooh - just a thought mate. When you're recording, is your track monitor set to "in"? This certainly does introduce audio latency and it bugged me for the longest time until I saw some wise person post here to set the track monitor to off. Works perfectly. But, that doesn't explain at all ...

Re: Tracks Out of Sync (Regardless of Warping/Compensation Option status)

Silly question - but if it's out of sync visually too...have you accidentally moved the audio clips in the timeline (if you're using arrangement view)? Can you not move them back?

Re: TROUBLESHOOT: latency from Ableton but not Reaper

Hey mate, this is really weird. The fact your buffer size is locked ain't normal - so I suspect this has a lot/everything to do with it. You got a killer interface, and normal Live behavior shouldn't result in what you're seeing. I don't have a PC, but I did find this short explanation. https://supp...
