I really like your sound - god I wish I could make something half as polished and danceable! more please.

in my experience live isn't exactly rock steady when set as master - use hardware as the master and live as the slave - works for me!

Back to making music!!!

thanks for your help

I'm guessing that you're directing me to the manual here! - and in Live 5, the relevant section is 23.1 and yes I have read it!

Yes I can sync Live to the EMX-1, but I don't want to route the midi out from the EMX-1 into the access virus [I don't want to do this, because I don't want to trigger ...

...or after rendering, you can use the fantastic freeware Audacity to convert a Wav to MP3 with the option to edit the tags and to choose the quality.

I've read the manual, and I think I've tried every combination. I just can't get my head around it.

I've read that it is best to sync midi to hardware rather than to Live.

I want to sync Live 5, and my access virus classic to my electribe EMX-1 so that when I use the EMX1 to programme drums, I ...

According to Rekon...

"There is a problem in Cakewalk Sonar and Ableton Live where these hosts are not sending MIDI Poly Pressure messages from a VST correctly. This WILL affect the VST Virus Editor, since it relies on Poly Pressure messages for transmissions of patch data. This issue MAY affect ...

sorry - I must be losing the plot. I could have sworn that I had managed to open mini-host inside Live - but you are quite right - I hadn't.

What I had done was open it at the same time. Because both Live and minihost were making sounds I thought I had cracked it. The problem is that although I ...

I notice that you can use a plug-in host like mini-host to run the access virus interface from rekon audio,

according to rekon, mini-host can host the access interface with full functionality, and I have tried opening minihost in LIve and it works fine ...

Hi

I notice that on the Rekon website, it says that their Virus controller isn't fully functional with Ableton Live 4 although I think some people do find it OK?

Alltunes was recommended in the Telegraph last weekend and it looks much better than i-tunes. Has anyone tried it? I have had a go but the site seems to freeze when you try to pay!

any feeback appreciated

Actually there are some useful tips on getting the kick drum to really punch through in this month's Computer Music magazine [UK]. As far as I recall, they suggest layering two or more samples, using a notch filter in the main mix to cut some space for the kick so it doesn't end up mushy, using ...

THe reKon controller for access virus looks VERY interesting. A must-buy when it comes out; assuming it will work for Virus Classic.

I love my virus sounds, but I hate the bloody menus. I think those buttons are going to give me RSI!

cheers - thanks for the +ve feedback!

Probably a daft question, but I don't know the answer

Does it make any difference if I use my laptop's soundcard or my m-audio audiophile external for rendering? Or is it all done by the PC?
