Hi guys! FWIW I am new to Live4, having "moved over" from Tracktion partly because I fancied something with better time-stretching, and love the clip/scene based arraging paradigm of Live, as well as the "fold" track feature which really simplifies MIDI editing. But... I'm with t...

Thanks for the responses.

That's bad news though - I really hope that if this is a general (and serious) problem they will find a way to resolve it and optimise the program better as an all-round music production environment that can handle VSTs and MIDI tracks effectively and efficiently.

I am hoping that somebody here might be able to help me or clarify the source of my problems with Live 4's audio handling, CPU hit and VSTi. I've done a test just using Live 4 and Tracktion, brought on by my growing concern/disappointment in Live's audio performance and CPU handling. Overall I found...

Yo! This is probably a REALLY stupid question, but I'm a newbie so bear with me please! Also I have searched the manual and this forum and come up blank so far... My task for the day was to sequence a simple drum part and export it as a MIDI clip... then copy the MIDI file over to a floppy disk and ...

Thanks again for the advice :) I'm already getting better results with the clip I was previously strunggling with... I see what you mean about working out the warp modes with a bit of trial and error. I'm one of these logical types who looks out for an A-Z answer - but I need to use my ears more, cl...

Thank you very much for taking time to give a detailed answer - and for not biting my head off too severely! I did try to find other threads on the topic, but the only recent one that looked possibly relevant, the poerson asking the question was directed to another thread which I couldn't find! but ...

Please - can anyone help?

Hello all, I hope someone can help, and sorry in advance if this has already bneen covered in other threads - I'm new around here (and new to Live). My problem is: I made a 12 bar pad loop using Reason's Maelstrom synth. I ReWired into Live audio track 1 and bounced the audio to track 2 to make an a...

Hey! In case anyone is interested I noticed that you can presently get the Kjaerhus GOlden effects bundle as part of a group buy with 30% discount...but time is running out with only four days to go till the promotion ends! In case you've not read the rave reviews in Sound on Sound and Computer Musi...

Exactly.

Can anyone help?

P.S. Is there a way to turn off the Warp when previewing single-hit samples? Also, I noticed that samples are previewed at 16-bit audio - can this be adjusted, and what bit-depth is the internal audio engine working at? (32-bit in Audition, and I set audio recording at 24-bit to suit my Edirol inter...

Thanks for that - explains everything. I just tested your solution, and sure enough the samples do sound fine once they are in Simpler and triggered by a MIDI clip :) As you can no doubt tell, I am a "newbie" so far as Live goes... I bought Live 2 on the strength of reviews at the time but...

Hi - this is my first post on the Ableton forum! I am having a problem with previewing samples in Live 4. I want to choose a bass sound and move it into Simpler. But when I listen to the preview, it turns out that all sounds have a wobble to them. I have checked that the samples themselves are ok by...
