Re: Editing Audio and Velocity Issue

Hi, thanks for that. I'll check out clip envelopes.

Regarding velocity, by default velocity parameters in clips/the piano roll are set to instrument volumes by default? In 7 (I've only recently upgraded to 8) I could instantly change the velocity on a note just by moving the parameter. Do I need to ...

Editing Audio and Velocity Issue

Hi Guys,

Can someone tell me how I can mute sections of audio in a loop? If for example I wanted to keep the length of the loop but get rid of a snare or clap somewhere in the 4 bar section.

Also I've got a bit of a weird issue with velocity in the piano roll editor. When I try to bring the ...

Point Blank Ableton Course

Has anyone ever completed a Point Blank Ableton course? It seems really costly for something that you could arguably get from Groovebox.

If you've done the course id really like to hear what you got out of it and how much of it was ...

MPC 2500 & Ableton

Im thinking of getting an MPC 2500 to manage beats because I just seem to get better beats out of an MPC. Switched to Guru about a year ago & I havent been able to program loops and fills like I have in the MPC.

Are any of you using one with Ableton? If so can you describe your workflow? Ie making ...

So what about working with mono tracks? How is it done in Ableton? I tend to keep a lot on mono, its easier to control.

I dont know what to here. I kinda like the idea of creating sounds in Logic & exporting to Ableton, however thats not really intuitive is it & it kinda defeats the purpose by ...

Keep both! (or are you using Logic prior to version 8? in which case you should upgrade!)

Logic Studio + Ableton 7 - you can't go wrong with that combination.

For one there's no time stretching so in regards to audio when you record something than that is the tempo you are stuck with ...

Gate Sidechain & moving from Logic

Is it possible to side chain the gate in Ableton 6+? Im looking at making a move from Logic, I just need to tie up a few things.

How do you find Ableton's workflow relative to something like Logic/Cubase? Do you find it more "musical" or creative? If so, why?

Thanks!

Actually there is some groove template in live, check about Global groove amount in the manual.
But in my opinion it doesn't sound as good as the mpc.
Before buying an mpc, I would suggest you to have a look at Fxpansion's Guru :

Quantization/Groove Templates or an MPC?

Can you swing quantize at all in Ableton? If you cant im going to buy an MPC to handle drums. I find hard to believe you cant set up groove ...
