I just closed Live 10 after saving an old project from Live 9, but when reopened it looked like a fresh install; stock skin, and all my 3rd party plugins were not scanned, collections were all gone as well as my stored 'Places'

Any idea why this happened and if I can get all my settings back?

When I am editing midi notes in a Live 8 clip, I have noticed that after I select some notes and make an adjustment , the notes I had selected shortly deselect themselves after I start playing the clip. This is extremely annoying because it means that every time I wish to make a new adjustment I hav...

Thanks for replies so far.

Can I use an iPad app like TouchAble to easily control 3rd party VSTs like PSP masterQ and Vintage warmer (for example)

Hi, I'm looking for a control surface to mix with (in the mixing engineer sense, not the DJing sense) I am looking at the BFC2000, and the slightly more expensive option of an iPad + TouchAble / Touch OSC Despite my research on both systems, I can't quite figure out how easy it is in a real life sit...

Hey guys. I'd like to buy a midi controller to make the mixdown process more fun, quick and tactile than digging around with the mouse. The functions I'd like to control are as you would expect: track volume, pan, send level etc But I'd also like an easy way to add and adjust graphic eqs. The two op...

Okay, so I need to put the sidechain compressor onto every track and adjust the threshold to match the effect of everything being bussed together?

Is anyone able to help? Do I need to clarify my question?

Thanks

Hi, I'm using Live 7 and I want to share a session with a collaborator who's on Cubase. I'd like to give him individual dry instrument tracks, AND also tracks that have the reverbs, delays and sidechain compression added. I have set up my session with Delays and Reverbs on Sends, and I have a bus th...

Hey there, I'm doing a recording tomorrow that requires a tight, funky bass sound very similar to the one found in these two songs: Golden cage (remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMzs_3NxEEI Everything is Everything http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8tGNe4ygrY Could the members of this forum sugge...

I have a G4 macbook with one firewire 800 port. For my music production I use a fireface 800 interface and an 3 year old lacie 60GB firewire hard drive. Up until now I have been swapping the fireface and hardrive cables in and out of my single firewire port, but now I need a fast and stable way of u...

I have been using the Fireface 800 for the past 5 months or so. I am very happy with the sound quality, but I have complaints about the ease of use. Firstly, I find the totalmix software gives me a headache. I can get the basics, but there seems to be so much added functionality that I don't need an...

Yes, I know this is another audio interface thread- but I just want to ask if anyone here can recommend an audio interface with (at least) 4 preamps for less than £850 (the FF800 costs £850, and the Traveler £570 in the UK, just to give you an idea.) I'm gonna be recording bands (in bits) which is w...

Hi, I am hoping to clear up something I am not quite clear on: I use an alesis x25 midi controller I also use live 5.x (soon to upgrade ;) the x25 has midi presets loaded on it.These dont seem to do anything at all. I have heard of something called "instant mapping" / "auto mapping&qu...

thats a good idea... why didn't i think of that?!

Anyone?

The X25 has presets loaded onto it, and there is one called "Live"
but it does bugger all when I load it up.

What is the fault?
