Re: Rendering video in Ableton 8

its been a long time since i had to render video from ableton on pc - also on a mac here and like pitch black says, no issues here; but i used to render from a pc and had the same issues. as far as i remember (and like i say its been a while!), some graphics cards cause issues when rendering so if y...

Re: ClyphX – simple (and free), Clip-based scripting language

awesome! I doubt ableton could have realized just how far its users would take midi remote scripts when they created the framework for hardware manufacturers, but I hope they're taking note and planning to build on it for future version. Its brilliant.

Sharing: Tempo fader

Small but useful little device I just made: Gradually fade between different tempos by naming your scenes appropriately - ie by launching the scene named XBPM 150 the set will gradually change tempo from your current tempo to 150 bpm. The rate at which it changes is dependent on the size of the gape...

Re: How to use Automation when performing live?

If you running from arrangement view then its easy - pretty much option 2 from what yur2die4 said. Just set up the automation on your vocal channel as you had it in your studio recording (the lazy way is to copy the studio track, but I'm too lazy to explain how to do that click for click :wink: ) an...

Re: Drum Rack - separate outs, is this possible?????

Actually, an external audio effect on all chains makes no sense. Just create a new return with the rack and then use send/returns. This way you can even mix your work within the drum rack itself. If you already have a drum rack with one or more chains in it simply click on the 'show chain list', th...

Re: How to use Automation when performing live?

set up remote midi mapping to control the parameter, and then set up a midi channel to record your automations into a clip. Set the output of the midi channel to either IAC drivers (Mac) or Midi Yoke (PC), and then set live to accept those messages as remote control. No need to go that complex - ch...

Re: Drum Rack - separate outs, is this possible?????

Okay, I just checked something. Insert an audio track, select the drum rack as input source. Then you can select each slot of the drum rack (pre/post/fx/fader), then route it to the correct output. That works perfectly but it'll probably be more elegant to just put an External Audio effect on all t...

Re: MIDI Volume? Grouping?

its late and I'm not thinking clearly (2.20 am in south africa)- the velocity solution will work perfectly but it will also effect the tone of the patches if velocity is mapped to something other than amplitude. So if you have it linked to filter cutoff too, you won't be able to turn the level of th...

Re: MIDI Volume? Grouping?

An active volume slider wouldn't help unless it could send out midi and somehow know which CC to send. If you're only geting a stereo mix of a 16 part multi-timbral instrument the mixing has to take place within that instrument so you need to work out how to control those internal levels. There's tw...

Re: groove extraction useless?

interesting stuff, thanks for elaborating guys! what I´m basically ranting about is the transient detection when extracting a groove. The same sound will sometimes be detected right where it begins, and sometimes a bit later. You can drag the groove clip into a midi clip, and put it right under the...

Re: groove extraction useless?

oh and obviously the click track does follow your tempo, etc... also cause its a live clip if the groove stays the same over the song you can just duplicate that clip for as long as the song is... so kind like a master groove.

Re: groove extraction useless?

So what is the difference with making an audio track the tempo master? Are guys going on about the master/slave feature we got in Live 5 or 6? yeah - that is exactly what live does when you use a track as tempo master... try it: record something with a varying tempo - something like those pieces in...

Re: unaswered question.

Da hand's post indicates how subjective this all is so I'm not going to get into a debate about whether you can or can't hear a difference... Simply put, a nice pre-amp will make your recordings sound a whole lot better, but will be hampered by your conversion (saying how much leads us back down tha...
