New laptop - new audio solution required

My XPS 17 doesn't have a PC card slot, so looks like my trusty Echo I/O has been made redundant :(

Any recommendations for a similar USB replacement for the I/O? Is it worth waiting for a USB 3.0 solution?

Thanks,

SAR

Until Live allows time signature changes, you're gonna have to fudge it.

The easiest way for your 4/4 and 3/4 problem is to make the master time sig 12/8. For the 4/4 put the downbeats on 1,4,7,10. For 3/4 the downbeats are 1,5,9.

By the way, you can get some nice polyrhythms going by mixing up 3 ...

I left London in 1985 and went back for the first time last year!

Lived in Hong Kong for a couple years; moved to Seattle for 7 seven years (yawn), Toronto for 6 months (way too cold) then back to HK where I still am.

I probably would be far richer if I'd stayed in England and worked hard, but I'm ...

Latency - with a twist

So, I use a PODxt for recording gtr via USB, then monitor via Echo soundcard, but the latency is all over the shop.

The example in the manual assumes you are using the same soundcard for the input and output of the signals, but this is not the case here.

I can assign the PODxt as the input and ...

faking a multi-band compressor in Live 5

I was getting tired of my cymbals pumping by using a compressor on the master channel, so I wanted to use a multi-band compressor. I do have Endorphin, now, but prior to that I figured that I could fake one in Live by using 3 return tracks and putting 3 band EQ's followed by a comp 1. Then turn off ...

My Centrino 2.0 runs Live perfectly and has done for a year so far.

To counter an earlier posters comments about extra HD, DVD, etc, it also has a spare port which I use for an extra battery (4-5 hours now with all power saving features off). I would get another HD but HP only has 5400 speed for ...

well there maybe a mix up here in which manuals to read.

Seems like he's talking about the Kontrol 49 manual, not the Live one.

As for the 49, there are various templates you can load in via the librarian software, which include some softsynths, as well as Live. For others, you need to edit the ...

Atomatic start of client Rewire app and open song

One thing that would really improve rewire use:

When you open a Live set that has a rewire client, it will throw up a dialog box asking if you also want to start and open the song in the client.

If the client is already running, then it will open the appropriate song.

I know that the current ...

simple GUi request:

Have the track title background colour be different for midi, audio, return and master tracks. Just easier to visualize what is what and where.
