If you had the automations all overlaid on one waveform, you'd definitely need a lock/unlock button so you could just edit certain parameter automations.

Thanks to a series of events, I'm being asked to run an Ableton Live workshop. Any advice on running workshops for Live? Any advice on running workshops?

Haha, I guess I shoulda read your message first.

You can do this very sweetly and easily with Korg's Legacy Cell or any other VST that supports Program Change MIDI messages. Just use the program/bank selection feature on MIDI clips. P.S. Operator, Simpler and Impulse should really really really be updated to support Program Change messages. If the...

you can just program the clip to mix the wet/dry to 100% dry. This only work if the clip knows about the effect though (ie, you created the clip with that particular effect on it already) and even thats sometimes sketchy. I've noticed that you often loose clip envelopes when moving live clips around.

At techno shows, friends and I will often shout "Techno!!!!" and sometimes throw in a "Detroit!!!!" here and there. Not so anymore! We're gonna just stick to "Techno!!!" GO OILERS!!!

I've started keeping two versions of my tracks. One version is the 'working' version, the one I started on and built the song up with. This version would also be the one I'd work into an actual studio release of the track. The other version is one that fits into my live template. I bounce quite a fe...

I love these VSTs. They're so functional for using Live as well. With the Legacy cell, you can write patches that remember all your MIDI routings as well. So, by using the problem change that goes with clips, you can have each clip remember the MIDI routings that go wtih the program/patch.

I just leave the knobs pointed straight up and push my fader all the way up. Is that bad

Create your own sounds. Sampling=laziness and lack of talent. If the individuals who created the original recordings were creative enough to create those sounds that you are after, you should be able to do it too. If you sample you shoudl not call yourself an artist. Thats my two cents. Also, if yo...

Anyone done anything like this before? I was thinking of making a bunch of envelopes that I like in some bare-bones live clips (on like the clip gain parameter or something). I could then drag one into an empty track and copy and paste from that clip whenever I wanted a particular clip envelope on a...

I have this setup and I can't use the lacie through the pcmcia card, even with the m-audio not plugged in. Its really wierd.

I remaster each of my tracks so they sit well back to back regarding volume, EQ, etc. I stumbled on a tip that saves lots of CPU. If you continually use the same track, why waste CPU complex warping it every time you play it? Now, when I remaster the AIFF, I warp it at the same time. So, the render...
