Agree with all the points above. I usually work in arrangement view and it could definitely be made easier.

As per the fact there's no proper mixer in arrangement view though, I press "tab" in arrangement view and it toggles the lovely mixer view on and off!

I like the Dance Music Manual (I think it's called) myself. Some good explanations in there, even though what I make wouldn't really be classed as dance. I'm an Engineer/Physicist and Guitarist too, so my main problem is I know exactly how it all works and all the principles behind it, but my ears d...

We had this one a couple of days ago. Basically yes they all work fine, but go to the next page or 2 for the full thing!

Live can never find my missing files either.

Yeah, you can customise the OSX one.

I liked the Dog on the XP search. It made it more endearing when it couldn't find F***-all ever!

Not wanting to Hijack the thread but any good tips to get the most out of session drums, especially the Multimic ones? I'm after a punchy alternative rock/funk crossover sound that'll do somewhere from Live dance (a la Faithless type thing) merging through James Brown to more of a Incubus/Tool/Hard ...

The Multimic kits default to having a Hi-Hat openness macro knob. You can assign this to a MIDI CC if you Hi-Hat pedal sends CCs. I bought myself an electronic Alesis kit (which doesn't send variable Footpedal openness so never tried it myself though). I figured it's be a long time til I can play it...

My original "kill the send" with a retun track obviously wouldn't work id the reverb's mid-chain, but yes, parallel chains in a rack with a smaller amount going to the reverb (which is 100% wet). Then kill the send to that part of the parallel chain (and use a macro knob if you fancy to gr...

Dunno, I'm at work too, but if it does cut off run the reverb as a send/return, and kill the send signal instead?

Do the built in tutorials and watch a few online videos (on the Abe site, and any simpler Youtube ones).

It won't be long 'til you find Live's more fun than any Playstation/XBox!

I take it you don't have Suite and can use an unmodulated Analog/Operator sine wave, bounce it stuff it in sampler and cut it up? Dunno if you can get a pure sine out of them though.

Mine's Leopard, didn't have much luck going to SL. :( I'm buying an i7 Macbook Pro next week though. That'll save some trouble and will probably fix my 8.1.4 & 8.1.5 problem. 8.1.5 never worked, 8.1.4 used to work, and 8.1.3 still does! :lol: Then when I've got a new main computer (the MBP) and ...

I use a mac. People I work on projects with use both. So no, because if it was OSX only then I'd still not be happy even though I'm an OSX user. My desktop Hackintosh I always use in OSX I might just run Win7 once I get my Macbook Pro too (to save hassle).

I'd say it all depends if you have other VSTs about. If you have a load it may well not be worth it. On the other hand I didn't really have any decent ones, and needed a wide selection of general sounds, along with some half decent drums. As a result I got the boxed suite so I have a load of tools t...

Or most things you click on you can then type the number. Depends what it is though.

Where are live preferences on the mac? They're shared in a library somewhere aren't they? Think I might delete them. My 8.1.5 crashed from the first time I started it and it tried to access my keychain then failed, and hasn't worked since. I deleted the Ableton things from the keychain to see if tha...
