The FBV Express works great for me because I usually have a guitar in my hands and I can control the transport (play, record, stop) with my foot. All you have to do is plug it into one of our usb ports it does not require an audio interface, that would be for your instruments and microphones.

Under control surfaces I don't see the Express listed. This is where the input-output you mentioned is. Right?

I recently bought a Express MKII but can't get it to work with Live 8 I mainly want to use if for play, stop, and record. I press the midi mapping in live and click on the button I want to map then press the button the Express but nothing happens. Is there any setting I don't have right? Any help ...

Is there any way to use the draw tool or right click that puts in a preset curve for a quick or slow fade out?

Thanks

It works just like any other track. It's Mixer/Track Volume.

Another way of automating the volume is to add a Utility plug-in to a track and automating it's Gain. This way it leaves the volume slider for adjusting the overall volume of the track. This is especially useful if you have the volume ...

You can't draw in envelopes in detail on the master track as in a individual clip. Or can you?

Am I correct in saying that you fade out your entire song in the master track with the mixer/track volume parameters or is it done in individual tracks within the track clip with some type of envelope?

Thanks

Thank you again! I just received the email that work is closed today due to inclement weather. So I guess what I will be doing today?

If I speed up the tempo on a certain part of my song but have already tracked my guitar. Could I change the tempo of the recorded track also? Would that be what they call warping? How?

Thank You

In Arrangement View, Tempo Automation can be setup on the Master Track. From section 18.4.5 in the Live Manual...

To edit the song tempo envelope, unfold the Master track, choose Mixer from the top envelope chooser and Song Tempo from the bottom one.
So if you want the first 16 bars to be 114 ...

I was able widen the master track vertically and zoom in usng the spyglass, but where I'm still at little bit of a loss is using the Ctrl key and mouse for precise increments. I can get to 119.98bpm or 120.07 but can't nail 120.00 is just a trial and error process. Holding down the Apple key moves ...

How far can you go left or right for a sweep change?

Up and down. Just for modifying the node's parameter, not its position in time.
Do you know if there is a way to lock left and right movements for nodes to the grid? most automation is forgiving if you're slightly off but i'd like to be spot on when i'm automating tempo. Thanks.

Thank you Akshara I appreciate your help I hopefully will have some time soon to read the entire user manual. I'm a business teacher during the day attending school at night to get my masters degree so time is at a premium. Once again thanks for taking the time I will continue where I left off last ...
