The boomerang effect on the track 'When I Grow Up' is stunning!
I missed it the first couple of times around, but it comes right after the line
"...throwing out boomerang waiting for it to come back to me"

then...

...wait for it, wait for it... sweet!

I played it for some of my friends and ...

Ever heard of The Books?

Ahmadinejad will prevail.

^^ I was actually looking for this feature last night. I'm on a mac too and can't find it. even tried looking up 'multiple instances' in the manual...and nothing.

^^ Got it.

So, I also use Live's utility plug at the end of my signal chain in order to free up the track faders from any volume automation. But i read recently that dropping in an effects rack and automating the chain volume is a better way to go because you can bring sounds down to silence ...

If i wanted to attenuate the volume of a song using L8's new 'select all track faders simultaneously' feature, i presume i should leave any group tracks at 100%, and only bring down the faders within the group, so as to keep the overall volume balance equal? Right?

In what way does a "large" number of tracks indicate an unorganized project?

...(because most people go through life doing nothing creative at all).

:roll: ? wow, what a blanket statement! Maybe not 'creative' in the 'four on the floor + cheesy arpeggiator synth = creative' kind of way,
but surely, everyone offers their own unique creativity to even the smallest events ...

How do i increase stereo spread with a phase analyzer?

Now my friend,that's one of the biggest secrets in mixing though i wouldn't recommend you any analyzers
for stereo spread...
It's all about the sound design and mixing so try to experiment there

My 2 cents :wink:


I just don't know what ...

Hello all,

Can anyone explain exactly what the heck i'm looking at when i pop one of these bad boys on a track?
