Re: Live 9 can't open Live 8 project

Whoa, I was going nuts trying to figure out why my Live 8 projects were not loading in Live 9. Thanks to reviewing this thread, I removed Max to solve me problem. i rarely use it anyway, except for occasional LFO.

Re: I want to quit.

Just have fun with the music. I'm a lifetime music professional, but even if the money stopped, I would still play everyday in Ableton or Bitwig. I can always fall back to computer programming or construction management. Always have another important skill, as my father strictly enforced.

Re: Any suggestions on backpack for Ableton Push 2?

I'm from New York, so I have that "don't even fuck with me" swagger. Also, I've been in Asia 2 years now...the least likely place a black person gets robbed. :lol:

Re: Hardware Engineering

Satellites are a great field. Do you have any ideas in that field? Especially for consumer level services?

Re: Native LFO

The rewrite was totally worth it. Still, I hope they considered a way to have ZERO dependence on MAX. If they didn't consider native LFO, there must be lead in the drinking water. Honestly, if it wasn't for PUSH and implementation of note repeat, Ableton would already be history for me. Bitwig has a...

Default for dragging samples

Years ago, I discovered how to create slicing templates using the "Defaults" folder. I am trying to accomplish the same for dragging samples, without success. I want to drag a sample into the device area and have it automatically load in a simpler instrument. This is a repetitive task for ...

Re: Cycling 74 Influence

I really wonder if C74 is holding Ableton back from its full potential. I notice Live gets more sluggish with each release. I've been a user since version 4, and if it wasn't for Push 2, I'd be using my "other license" aka "evil twin".

Cycling 74 Influence

How much does Ableton really depend on Cycling 74? Sure, it is great for making custom devices. Its like having a built-in Reaktor. But, how much does MAX affect the development of Live? When considering a major change in direction, or significant enhancement...how much does C74's operations affect ...

Re: Is it possible to render MIDI clips to audio with tails?

When I freeze and flatten clips in arrangement mode, it creates the tail. Try it there on a duplicate track. Then you can drag back into clip view.

Re: Native LFO

I believe this is why Bitwig employees left Ableton. I can see how dependence on MAX (Cycling74) is holding back Ableton from major releases. Bitwig has made leaps foreward in this regard. LFO's are so modular that I end up with massive routing ideas with many great options.

Re: Hardware Engineering

C++ will definitely be a part of your study. Basic electronics and how they work will be the other half. There are DIY kits for learning like http://www.arduino.cc/

It is, just an improved controller.
