That is in the Live doco - if you ReWire Live as a slave all other ReWire or VSTs will be unavailable.


I have a workaround to my problem, which relies on the order of doing things in Traction and Live.

1. Start Tracktion.

2. Create ReWire Filter

3. In Filter Select Ableton Live

Anyone on a Windows platform got a problem with ReWire ?

We are trying to get to the bottom of a malfunction with Tracktion2 as the ReWire host and Live as the ReWire Slave.

All loads, Live is chronically slow, but there is no sync when the Master Play is pressed. The Master starts rolling but ...

Do WAV files need to be "Acidized" to get the best out of Live ? Some loops have no problems, most have this modulation and distortion effect though.

No. You need to switch the warp mode from beats to texture or tones, and play around with the settings until it sounds it's smoothest.

Mixed results - I found a setting in ReCycle which would export discrete Wav Loops individually - which helped a lot.

I need some help on 2 audio related matters.

1. When recording I have read the manual, but I'm not sure I get it. I seem to record a few ms over the target loop length and I just can't stretch or what ever. Should I be using some external audio editor to trim the phrase to the right length ?
