I'm using Live 8 along with a Saffire 6 usb interface on my iMac. To get decent levels, I need to turn the Saffire volume knob on the actual unit to 10, and the track faders in Live to full also. MP3s, audio cds, youtube videos etc play fine at normal levels. This seems to be confined to Live. I've ...

Hey guys, Quick question. I'm running Live 8 on an iMac (OS 10.7) and am getting pretty serious latency. I'm trying to record guitar. I've downloaded the latest driver from Focusrite but no difference. For driver type under preferences, I only see core audio, not ASIO. Is this a problem? I should pr...

Great information. Which one is Digidesign using for Pro Tools? Their elastic audio sounds amazing.

No joke.. exercise does indeed help. I've learned the hard way that lack of sleep is definitely a de-motivator too.

I'd have to go with Pink Floyd - The Wall

It was interesting to read of your dilema. I have had this same problem for a long time. There was a time back in the late 80's when a friend and I would easily produce a track a day. And that was with a bunch of old analog gear that wasnt the easiest to work with. Now I have Ableton, which does eve...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me here. What is going on is that I'll have a couple vst synths running with presets that I select (i.e. bass, lead, etc) I then save the song. When I reopen the track, the presets are not the ones I was working with. I have to find the desired ones again. The vst tha...

Whoooaaa...!! The funny thing is, all that gear could be eliminated with a bunch of vsts and plugins...

But that setup looks so much more impressive!

A friend directed me to this. Might be worth a look.

Thanks for the feedback. I didnt realize it was this complicated. Unfortunately, my best bet will probably be using filters to try and eq out as much as I can. Its just a remix I'm doing for fun, so it doesnt have to be perfect. Thanks guys.

Hi, is there a way to take an existing song and make it an acapella so as to be able to do a remix of it? I know it is probably impossible to make a perfect acapella, but I was wondering if there are any vsti or eq that do a pretty good job of eliminating enough music to be able to do a remix. Thank...

Thanks guys. I'll check the manual again.

Hi,

I'm finding this confusing. I did a remix of a song and want to be able to export the vocal track and the drum track and then the bass line etc as separate tracks to mix in another app. How do you do this? Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.

Jay

Yeah the guys are right. Its really easy to assign sliders and knobs to Live. I think this is better anyway, because you can customize it to how you like it. You definitely bought a nice piece of gear. I actually want to get one for myself soon.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out with this one. I'm new to the Follow Actions feature and I must say, it's great. One question though. Lets say I have a 1 bar beat, and I make a roll as a follow action. Suppose I want the beat to play for 3 1/2 bars, then the roll plays for a half of the last ...
