Ableton Forum

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've been on the forum, so forgive me if this has been answered lots, i've had a bit of a search through ... I'm looking for a really compact interface for travelling light and dj'ing, has anyone had any success with the indigo dj ExpressCard (or something similar ...

Hoorah, was excited to see this as a new feature in live as I am tuning sound systems and use an rta measurement mic. Is great to get a visual of the speaker output.

Here is a snapshot of pink noise loaded straight into live.

Can someone tell me why there is a drop off ? If you look at the 3rd ...

perhaps try the echo audiofire 2 or 4 ... i have the 2, and so far am quite happy with it, i do get the feeling that it doesn't quite meet the quality of my motu traveller but not complaining bout sound quality at all. As a portable interface it seems quite adequate. If you can afford it tho i ...

ah ok... thanks for that, i'm guessing that with live 6 the operator patches aren't included with/are a seperate download to the actual program, different from live 5 but i guess makes sense as not everyone has tha operator. anyhoos, cheers

I went to have a look through some operator patches and they wouldn't show up so I went to the folder where presets are stored and they aren't there ?

6.0.5

yeah i got that thanks, I figure i will just change it to my live 5 library folder and then it will format change everything to work with live 6... am making a backup of my live 5 folder just in case theres any probs

ok thank you, i will

When I first installed it I chose a seperate location to the default because it said it would affect live 5 sets or something ? But now that i have and satisfied its running smooth should i move the library to another location or does it not really matter ?

No, the tracks warp button was on, turning it off improved the sound hugely. warp was in complex mode but master tempo set the same as the track so no stretching involved at all. Why the really poor sound quality with the warp button on ?

I add again that the problem only seems to exist at 44.1 ...

Seems if i change the sample rate within live the quality improves ? Theres definitely a big quality difference when compared to playing the same file in itunes. Didn't notice so much at first, thought somethings not right so then compare them and way different ?

get over yourself, and do a little work, you pansies.

It's not a complaint ... it's feedback, which could possibly help to improve things even further.

I would much rather be able to view my playlists within live's browser and drag from there.

yes true, it would be really nice if you could look at your 'playlists' in the live browser rather than the library, i have had to create at least 2 seperate libraries for different genres just so i can have some classification....and its a pain switching between libraries for importing to itunes ...

ok thanks guys, yes the audiofire 2 looks like it will be a good dj option for basic set up hey

had a presonus firebox, wouldnt recomend it, had an maudio 410, wouldnt recomend it, have now got a motu traveller, would definately recomend it or the ultra lite i think is the same thing but smaller....curious though for dj sets would be good to just have something compact with just 2 outputs like ...
