i use Live exclusively. i've always used it to sequence beats, and also sequencing anything else i desired. melodies and such i'd either sequence, or record a vsti from synthtest and throw it into Live and warp it to fit. now that i don't need synthtest, i've started to record midi of the melodies i...

i was confused at first, too. turning on the info view helps. basically, the clip starts, and the first follow field is how many bars after that you want it to do the next action. then you have 2 action settings. then you have 2 "likelihood" settings. if they're set to 0, the action will n...

so, i'm pretty sure that conventional wisdom tells me that i shouldn't, but i'm strongly considering using the current live4 beta in a show i'm doing this saturday. mostly because i've got a really nice set prepared (which i really didn't plan on performing initially - i was just screwing around wit...

if you can afford it, using two computers and a traditional mixer would probably be how i'd do it.

of course, i can't afford two computers, so this advice is probably not super helpful...

i've always made my own loops (or stolen them, heh), but in most of my work i don't use loops. for live performance, i've grown dependant on them. but in stuff on the album i've got out, i didn't any of my beats to get boring - they change a lot, too much too have as loops. though lately i've been w...

bumping this, since it's a feature i'd really like.

i like jack, personally - i find it's easy to set up, and pretty user-friendly. i like that it can save my "studio setups", so if i know that i'm going to be using one arrangement a lot (synthtest into live, for example), i don't have to redo it each time. that said, i hate having to use j...

i live in arlington, va. i do mostly breakcore-ish stuff, but lately i've done a bunch of ambient stuff, and have been working on some "post-rock"-kinda tracks.

the way to do this, i think, is kinda like this: solo the track with the clip you're working with, have another empty track record the input from "master out". record the clip looping for as long you need it to. in this case, say, 12 bars. you might need to adjust slightly so that it's the...

what i'd like to know is, will i be allowed more than two midi devices? i use a cheap evolution midi keyboard, an akai mpd16, and an evolution x-session. i don't usually use them all in the same song (hard to do with the keyboard and the mpd), but i do use them all in a live performance setting. if ...

this is seriously pretty much perfect. i too am getting all amped up to get rid of some workaround applications.

would be nice to know if there are more than two midi devices being allowed now.

i have a very similar problem. live 3.02 does not recognize the majority of my vst plugins. live 2 DID recognize them. when i keep the plugins in the system folders (which live scans, right?) it only pulls up 3 of them. if i put them in a custom folder, it finds an extra ten, but that's it. nothing ...

running live 2.02 on OS X. it was running virtually bug-free for a while, now i sometimes (not always) have a small problem. some vst plugins crash live when i try to load them, or if i try to load a live set which uses them. right now, it's not too much of an issue (although it's pretty frustrating...
