Re: "...could not be read. it may be corrupt or not licensed."

FYI: I just had this problem as well, in case my solution helps anyone else who lands here via google.

It turned out my drive was almost full (~500MB free) and so it didn't have enough space to cache the files I was trying to load. I got a more detailed error message when I double-clicked on the ...

Re: Recycle's Stretch Technique In Live 8?

The easiest way I can think of to do this is to stick warp markers where you want your slices, then "Slice to New MIDI Track" with slices placed on warp markers. Then slow the global tempo down to your desired tempo (presumably, if you want tails added to the end of each slice, you're looking to ...

Re: Auditioning slices (playing audio between two warp markers)?


Well done for helping the op, but as there is no way for it to stop playing at the next transient marker, it is pretty useless isnt it.... But thats not your fault ofcourse!

Simple modifier key could do it.

I wish I knew why we are waiting so long for this.(dont wanna hear about bugs)

But you ...

Re: Auditioning slices (playing audio between two warp markers)?

there's some sort of auditioning of transient markers already there, but it's poorly implemented at the moment.

it only works in Arrange, and you have to set the focus to the clip edit first, but then you can alt-left/right to move the playhead around the transients, and use alt-space to trigger ...

Re: Auditioning slices (playing audio between two warp markers)?

Thanks for the update on this. I'm in total agreement with you guys in that old thread I linked, and I can't figure out why this isn't more important to (or even understood by) more people.

It should be even more important in Live 8, with the addition of the groove engine--if you can't properly ...

Re: rendering song to disc

Use File|Export Audio to render your song to .wav (I think it defaults to 44.1/16-bit, which is what you'll need for a cd), then burn it with your favorite cd burning program (you can't burn to disc straight from Live).

Auditioning slices (playing audio between two warp markers)?

Is there a way to listen to a section of a clip between two warp markers (like auditioning slices in Recycle)? I know I can set the start/end points for the clip in line with the warp markers, but I can't seem to set the full clip length to be shorter than 1/16, and a lot of my potential slices are ...

Re: APC20 or Launchpad???

FYI: If you're in the US, the APC40 is now available for $250 from Amazon. Seems crazy to even consider an APC20. (But I don't think the price drops have spread to Europe.)

Re: Reference Earphones

Many consider these to be some of the best available.

I own the ER-4's and they're great. They compare really well to my monitors (Mackie HR824mk2's). Their only weakness is on the very low end--things below about 60Hz don't come through great, so you'll want to check your mixes on some other ...

Re: Sharing sets with Ableton instruments

Nope. You hit the nail on the head. All about marketing and sales. If they allowed this be the case they wouldn't sell many suites versions. Just my opinion.

Re: Is Live 8.1.1 backward compatible with 8.1.0?

Are there any advantages to the new file format? I'm just wondering why it was changed. Excuse me if I missed comments related to this.

I'm assuming the 8.1 format was necessary to support M4L. But one additional nice feature of the 8.1 format is that it's now an XML format. Probably not as big ...

Sharing sets with Ableton instruments

Normally, Live makes it easy to share sets with people who don't own the same plugins as you do--you can just freeze the track, and they can still use the frozen version. As far as I can tell, though, this feature doesn't extend to *Ableton* instruments. I'm working with someone who owns Suite (I ...
