when i'm making drum tracks i tend to set up a 2 or 4 bar cycle and jam in the drums in overdub. what i really like about other sequencers is how easy it is to create new track to record to which uses the same drum instrument. so in logic for example, i'd jam in the kick on one track, then with a si...

i currently backup my boot disk to a second internal drive via time machine (before leopard i used superduper to do the same). my mp3 collection gets synced to a PC server. project files are automatically backed up online to dropbox (a sort of mobileme-type service only better) anyone know if it's a...

does exs still have that limitation where you can't have individual envelopes/filters per keygroup?

Stumbled across this nice interview with one of my favourite producers I:Cube (Nicholas Chaix). Good to hear him bigging up Live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODv1xbSNd5M&feature=related Most of the music is edited out of the interview, so if you haven't heard his stuff try and track down his ...

yes if you turn on "auto-hide plugin windows" in live's preferences. and turn on "automap focus follows plugin ui" in the automap server menu and only use AU versions of the instruments, then the remote sl should automatically show the parameters of the instrument for whichever t...

That's what Automap is good for. As far as I remember you can tell Automap to automatically display the parameters of the currently active/selected automapped VST/AU on the LCD screens. yes, there is an option in the automap server for "automap follows plug-in ui", except that with live, ...

looks great. do you run into any problems automating it with live's 128 parameter limit?

anyone using it hooked up to a novation remote sl?

good stuff as always tarekith. much appreciated!

it's not bad. i've been subscribed for two years but i don't think i'll be renewing my subscription as after 24 issues you start to see the same old stuff being recycled.... there's only so many times i need to read what a compressor does before i get the point. however i will be spending some time ...

i have a pair of sony dr-bt22's and the quality is not that great to be honest. it's partly because the bluetooth A2DP on my phone compresses the audio at quite a low bitrate - so maybe check what bitrate your device can support first. there's an aliasing type whistle that's quite clearly audible, b...

good stuff! and respect for putting it out under creative commons. i just wish i could be as prolific.

i think this is something apalomba would like. also feel free to check out my tracks the first three having been made in live - the link is in my signature.

So in other words, Automap version 2 fixes none of the major issues of before in regards to the above? well time will tell, but the control map browser looks like it should help work around the follow-focus problem, and there's also a new shortcut on sl itself to switch between automap devices. whe...

does the X-Y touchpad still crash Live? I haven't tried 7.03 or the new automap, I like the way my system is now, don't want to tempt fate. i don't really use the touchpad but i did have live crash on me with the old automap when my finger accidentally brushed across it. but i think disabling the u...

with the release of automap 2.0 i thought it would be apt to revisit some of my grijpes about automap 1, so here goes... Does the keyboard Automap to control whatever the front active window is? For example, I click on a Sampler instrument, and then the keyboard automatically loads the map template ...
