hello, I'm using latest live 8.2.2 on my Mac OS X 10.4, 3 gig ram, 2.16Ghz core duo macbook pro

I'm experiencing 2 very frustrating things:
1. when recording arrangement and recording a track with a Looper device, when I disarm track, the Looper device is always put into stopped state automatically ...

i don't care about new leopard functionality...

and i don't wanna 'fix' anything unless it's broken

i'll switch to leopard only when new version of Live requires it.

have actually puchased Live???

If you have, just read the manual on how to reset the challenge key of your live (you can do it 2 times per license I think).

hi!

I play laptop and midi controllers (cme uf70, m-audio mk49,audio kontrol 1) in Eduardo Borsuci in Optima Forma band. it's drums + bass + ableton live... i started using live 3 months ago, i used oldschool jeskola buzz before.

you can check our sound at http://www.eduardoborsuci.org or at http ...

surround system is not a good thing for mixing... you hear different things based on where you sit relatively to speakers, rear speakers can have a different freq. response than front ones (and center), not to mention the woofer which can be a real beeotch when mixing. I had a 5.1 system until I ...

you can try controlling the tempo in real time via TAP - map it to some midi controller (foot switch is a good candidate).

we have successfully tried this in a band and it works really GREAT!

I simply love 'mixed records' and performances without the stupid silence between the songs. I currently use prerecorded mp3s as transitions between songs. Let me explain:

for each song, I have prerecorded a couple of beginning bars (or some other sounds to fit the end of one song and beginning of ...

Fostex PM2. really like them.

depend on what sound you wanna achieve...

for analog (live musician sound) style drums, try to make several samples of one drum (have samples with several velocities if possible - if not, dynamic tube or saturator are good friends in simulating the hardness of the hit). Experiment with the ...

there are 3 of us playing - bass, drums and Live. The drummer uses no clicks because there's a huge downside in having the 'click' in the ears - drummers tend to play more with the click than the band. Also, imagine having to listen to the dull click the whole gig - personally, I'd go crazy.

Our ...

EQ8 - try to find the hiss frequencies with narrow positive (high Q) peaks and then reduce that peak as much as you can in EQ8. Also, you can add GATE and gently set the treshold to cutoff the silent portion of the sound.

I have 2.2 macbook pro stuffed with 3 gb ram, therefore I have all my samplers / audio tracks in RAM mode. I've never seen Live occupying more than ~500mb in my ram.

Don't know how well memory management works in XP and VISTA...

I play with real time musicians so I have no need to use the arrangement view. I store all the automation in clips.

in 1993 (i was eleven) i saw a lifeforms promo video in tv - and suddenly everything turned from black&white to color!

i agree. the best thing is to have one OS just for live playing without any additional software or bullshit, no internet connection, disabling unused adapters helps A LOT in some cases (bluetooth, infrared, wireless). there is an utility for XP that can test your OS stability regarding sound setup ...
