Ableton Forum

What type of processor/RAM are you using? You should be able to get a single instance of GR 2 working OK on a reasonably modern machine as long as you don't use High Quality setting and you don't bring the latency of your sound card down to the point where things start to fall apart.

If you set up ...

You do need to make sure you record the output of GR and not the output of of the guitar but that should not be a problem if you record on the same track into which the plugin is inserted. .

Now I'm confusing myself. :oops:

To record the output of GR rather than the guitar you have to record ...

You're making this hard for yourself... :?

The easiest way to do what you want without thinking about routing is simply to set up miltiple audio tracks. On one you insert GR and record your loop. When you've done that simply drag the loop to the next audio track and repeat until you're out of ...

thanks bazz,
I will try it out. but isnt it strange that I have to create an extra midi track?
cheers

You just have to get your "Live head" on. Once you get the hang of Live's internal routing it's very logical and consistant but sometimes we all forget and expect the obvious to happen by itself!

If you insert a midi track, highlight "in", and send it's output to your Guitar Rig audio track you should get midi control back.

I had been really hoping that Racks would allow you to combine midi and audio tracks so that you could build and save sounds designed using both. In particular I'm looking to be able to drive a midi synth from my guitar whilst putting the audio ouput through Guitar Rig 2.

As far as I can see audio ...

It's a while since I've done this but I think I usually set all tracks to record and set my foot controller to send different notes with each pedal press. I then map the notes to empty clips in each track and launch and record as required.

I use one bank to control GR 2 and another to map to midi ...

A couple of thoughts

1. Shouldn't you be using a macro if you want to automate two controls inside a rack. (I presume thats why 6 doesn't allow normal multiple assignments inside a rack.)

2. Have a look athe the preset "Subtle Space" in Pads. This includes a dry through signal so you would be able ...

Ableton Live Live Clips sorted into sub-folders. Best organizer in the wr0ld.

If they add folder tracks, fixed midi mapping with single controller to multiple outputs, ideally with diferent control curves and limits, and inclusion of Vsti's in program chains in Live 6, then we'll be sorted.

Most ...

I think that there's the grain of a good idea at it's Kore......

But I do have worries about the hardware implementation and the fact that NI appear to be pushing it on the back if NI complete as some sort of super preset programer.

...and also the hope that Live 6 will make a lot of the ...

I suspect that it depends on how you use GT and what controller/interface you use whether version 2.0 is a big deal.

If you use classic guitar sounds and have a decent audio interface and foot controller then your probably not getting too much new. The looper, high quality mode, some new amps and ...

The product is real enough, just not available anymore!

It cost about £25 in the UK was restricted to 8 tracks and one VST effect. It was however about the best value piece of software that I ever bought and provided the up-grade path to Live.

I suspect that it was just too good value and after a ...

it deletes frozen wavs next time you open the l;ive set!! Can't believe they released it in this state, I have come to expect a lot more from Ableton, very disapointed. :(

If you save the set self contained the frozen audio files are saved in the sounds folder for the set.

The amount of disk ...

anyone else having problems when down loading in Safari 2.0 option click/right click I see the cool icon in the downloads window that quickly changes into a .alp.txt, no more cool icon and a bunch of garbled text...

I would like to know if the system simply hangs up, stops working in the middle of a task. If this can be determined here in this forum, and between an A/B test between PC users and Mac users..

Is Live 5 really so unstabe under Windows?

Without wanting to get involved in the PC/Mac piss take, I ...
