I'm going to have to look into that. I'm all for playing live in Live.

It's not sick, it's a weird and brilliant piece of real and funny producing

Happy times, dizzyj

Thanks bro

Well, that got me focused on my next upgrade: Does anyone know the prizing of a good V-drum set, like Ddrum, Roland V-drums, and doesn't Clavia got a set or two, too (what about "Drum Workshop" - they should have at least a set or two..?) -And if there exists some I have missed out here, I'll be ...

i did not even think about that. I might just have to them out, although my octapad will be extremely jealous.

not at all, your octapad is the perfect v-drum/live companion for recording/triggering loops.

I have mine integrated into my v-drums set.

I would LOVE to have my own drum set. Sadly, my neighbours would not enjoy it, so I am forced to find ways around it.

I'm not big on N.I, although I do love Spektral Delay.

thanks for all the suggestions everyone.

get a v-drums kit. Thats what I have, and I tell ya, everyone is always talking ...

We're working on a help tutorial here. I'm putting together info from Kid Beyond and our many Live loopers on the forum, but I'd love to include more tips in the tutorial if you've got them -- send me a message!

Best,
Jesse

what about questions to be asked? Ive asked a few detailed things ...

dont think so, but you can put down an impulse track and use that instead.

if your playing to a clicktrack, its a good idea to have the click be on 2 and 4, or 1 and 3, but not an annoying "Click clock clock clock Click..." every beat. Use it as a grid marker, not as something setting the groove.

Thats one of the reasons I love live. I used to record midi, then edit the midi, but editing the midi (quantizing) always killed the feel.

no, I hve my clips quantized, but im recording audio into them, so, inside a clip, its all groove.

and ya, playing to a perfect click is damn tough.

ymmv, but i've always gotten better results by calling them. it's a pain to get through sometimes, but well worth it.

thanks, trying that. buisy signal?!? wtf?!?

thanks for the replies. Ive sent an email to motu. I'll see if I cant record the whine for them.

anyone have any issues with an motu traveler?

every now and then, when I get a lot of sound playing, it will stop the sound, output a high whine, then start playing sound again.

kinda bummed, cause besides that, it works like a champ.

Is there anyone out there doing what we are doing?

We play everything live. I have a midi track firing clip record functions via IAC for each song, we just spend about a day per song scripting/arranging/figuring out how and when to play each part. Oh, and the video is synced via GRID2.

It sounds to me like you are mixing up clip quantization (set with each clip, can be set to follow 'global') and global quantization (at the top of the screen). I apologize if this is wrong and leading to further frustration.

all the songs in the ...
