er... actually it doesn't say whether it would work through the USB connection alone still, only for programming as you mentioned... i Must find the answer! (i think there was an earlier post by someone that owns the Express version).

Edit: (I am sorry about the multiple posts)

anyone?

hey no prob.

but whatever you do (Amadeus is a good choice too), do not get Peak. it's a way overpriced piece of crap.
I wouldn't call Peak a piece of crap. It's worked very well for me over the years. It does just what I need. I guess I'm just used to working with it. On the other hand, I just ...

Never happened to me with the 828.

Never happened to me either.

those things spit out MIDI? you sure?

i thought they were meant only to be used with Line6 stuff like the Pod (hence the stupid proprietary connector), and that USB was only meant to edit your ...

quick question for you all,

how do i "consolidate" a set? meaning getting rid of unused soundfiles and cropped out samples?

thx

you could go the open-source (free) route too with audacity or eisenkraut (spelling?), but be ready to work your zen attitude. they sometime behave so strangely..

yep, 8O me too..

and that's not only the CCs from that particular scene, it spits out the full mapping of my set!

what i'm trying to do is get max to know when a certain scene is launched (by clicking on it i mean.. using a midi controller works obviously since the info can be retrieve by max and ...

yep exactly! i really don't know why Live thinks it's a good idea to spit up all mapped CCs when launching a scene, but it does..

Hi

I use this all the time: http://www.roland.com/products/en/GFC-50/index.html

It rocks, it is quite small and will NEVER break! The price tag is also within your price range.

I do my MIDI routing through max so i'm not sure how easy it is to program directly on the hardware though.

Well, it all depends what price range you consider being cheap.. but i'd say find a used 828, they still rock (unless you need high sampling rates, but you don't need that if you DJ live IMO). Maybe 8 outs is overkill for DJing though..

How about that new NI card? I think it's specially tailored ...

Hi,

I have worked with both in the past: M-Audio has shit audio quality in and out, TC has shit drivers but sounds OK. So it depends if you favor audio quality or stability..

but

I say sell some stuff and get a real soundcard like the RME Fireface. Amazing quality, splendid preamps and rock-solid ...

by the power of jesus and/or rick flair, i declare this thread resurrected!

+1, i really want this! (well scene folding that is since we got track folding nowadays)

True, but that's not the point. The point is that it's weird to have a potentially set-breaking button so easily available in the GUI.

never happened on stage either, but still.. it freaks me out!
