Creative Gains:

Well, I think about it this way. In the pre-DAW days, an engineer would sit in a booth and record a band on tape. That was one job. Just get decently balanced, raw audio. Mixing that performance and adding overdubs, effects, etc was a separate task requiring different skills.

Except that the 303 isn't really a classic car. It's a cheap plastic and aluminum box from the 1980s. And it's Roland!

Sure, the thing sounds fantastic - those nice envelopes and that squeaky 3-pole filter, but it's not like defacing once-of-a-kind art. There's thousands of those things out there ...

My favorite CPU/tracknumber workaround is to render the complicated tracks (the ones with multiple compressors, reverb, envelopes, etc.) and place those renders into a new Live project.

I keep the old, in case some part needs fixing, or I want to play with the tempo/swing and get clean, unwarped ...

Thanks, all. I've sort of solved the problem. I've set the audio output to come out of my Pod, and I mute the channel. There's still a latency I can't get Live to compensate for, but it's less.

I just unwarp my track, scoot the startpoint forward, and pray I don't want to change the tempo later ...

I'm a breakbeat & softsynth guy, so I've never tried recording with Live. I'm a bit confused.

I've read the manual, but I can't get my sounds synced. (I'm plugging a Pod XT Live through USB into Live. I activate the click track, mute the channel, play my incredibly ...

Feast on this housey break track:

Still rocking Live 4

Yeah, turn off the warp, the drag the clip (in arrangement view) as far as you want it looping.

Who needs samples playing in time, anyway?

Help?

I have a handful of Apple's AU that were meant for garageband. They are terrible and processor intensive.

I can't get rid of them - where do they live on my Mac? Search turns up nothing, I browse to my plugin folder - nothing. Yes, I checked the Library on both my User and the generic ...

I read that whole damn thread. I think the kid is right!

1. EQs control overall volume dynamics (not frequency response.)

2. Compression is used to control the volume of a track (faders are for the weak)

3. Three mics are needed to bring out the rich tones of a solid state Peavey amp.

4. Every ...

Yeah, Orbital did an insanely great version. As perhaps the first popular electonic classic, I think it can't be covered enough. Anyway, Orbital are sadly gone, and I'm still here.

Man, I'd love to see that BBC doc - scouring the P2P networks as I type this.
