Re: Drum layering in Live - best methods + workflow?

Some good suggestions in here. I just recently tried a workflow like leisuremuffin suggested - write/arrange with racks and extract racks for mixdown - and it worked great. I would like to add that I froze the MIDI tracks (and beat repeat effect, so it was locked in) and copied to audio tracks for m...

Re: best possible latency with live 9 and duet 2

RME all the way. Rock solid performance even on Windows 8 for me. The low latency performance of their USB driver just can't be beaten. I'm probably limited by my monitors and "control room" (basement with craptastic room dimensions) to comment on its pristine sound quality, but I don't do...

Re: MIDI question?...

which of these scenarios are you referring to? 1) a particular release time every time a particular pitch or range of pitches is played (example, C0-C1 have 5 ms release and C1-C3 have 25 ms release) 2) the release of one particular notes within a midi clip to have various release times which could ...

Re: June 25th !!!!!!!

As best said by LCD Soundsystem, this is getting sort of unreasonable. We've been waiting such a long time. I preordered from eastcoastmusic.com back in march. They unfortunately canceled the order after the first major delay was announced. Was stupid enough to preorder from them again when they ope...

Re: Help wanted: Advice on audio interfaces.

I've been so completely happy with the RME Babyface it's ridiculous. With an older notebook computer I had no luck using a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6, and I had problems with the MOTU Track 16 driver initially with my new Windows 8 computer. The MOTU went back for an RME. From what I can tell, RME is t...

Re: MOTU Track 16 and Live audio I/O trouble

A little more troubleshooting seems to point to buggy MOTU drivers with Windows 8. It's being replaced with a Babyface.

MOTU Track 16 and Live audio I/O trouble

Been having a lot of trouble getting Live to connect with my MOTU Track 16 ASIO driver lately. Just wondering if anyone has had similar trouble or has any ideas for a solution. My setup: Lenovo P400 (Z400) notebook computer Windows 8 64-bit Live 9.0.2 64-bit MOTU Track 16 with latest drivers 4.0.553...

Re: Live 9 and Launchpad

I also changed the laucnhpad to try and tell ableton that it was a Push (saw this in one of the other threads) and went back to the project from earlier and it seems to be working fine now. Worked here too! Changed the script from Launchpad to Push then back to Launchpad. All good now. I tried enab...

Re: Live 9 and Launchpad

Launchpad seemed to be working fine yesterday with new project in Live 9. Opened up a project I started in Live 9 beta tonight and LP is not working correctly. The lights indicate clip locations in session mode, but I cannot launch any clips or scenes from the LP. Also, the box showing the location ...

Re: Does Live 9 support multiple VSTi folders yet?

btw, i had been using the folder full of shortcuts method before PluginManager. The shortcuts method is great if dealing with just a single host and maybe all 32-bit plugs (like Live 8 before 64 bit). It starts to be a headache when you need to deal with plugins that are both jbridged AND automapped...

Re: Does Live 9 support multiple VSTi folders yet?

This is the correct answer... http://www.familiekraft.de/PluginManager/ Found this app when trying to sort 32, 64, jbridged, automapped etc plugins. It's great. Need to toss a few $ this devs way. You just install VSTs to your normal default 32 and 64 bit folders, run automap (if applicable), then f...

I think I have this sorted, but I'd like to hear if anyone else has other ideas. I have a two drive system for my computer with an SSD for the OS, programs, and sample library and an HDD for projects. I think this is the best breakdown for installation and cache locations...

Re: Transition from Live 9 Beta to Live 9

about using packs from beta vs downloading again. i (and i'm sure many others) noticed that the packs have version names. if it's the same version as you downloaded previously according to the file name, i seriously doubt you need to download again.
