Hi. . . I have the quantise enabled to 1 bar so that if i triggered a clip, it would not trigger instantly, it would trigger on the next bar. This would mean things always stay in time. In the same respect, when i trigger a clip to record it records on the next bar, so things stay in time. The issue...

Hey. . .

no it says 1 bar. . . its always shown 1 bar. When i record on the next track, it never starts instantly, it starts on the next bar. Thats why i keep it on that. Its more about the end points i think. I record to a click also.

Thanks again, Ben

Hi. Thanks for all getting back to me. Is there no free audio editors for mac that are very low CPU? I know that recycle is pretty lame for editing. I dont understand why, if live has a crop function that you would need to open up an external editor? Also, how would i crop part of a loop? I basicall...

Cant see AU/VST instruments?

Hi.

Ive installed The GForce Minimonsta as AU as that what im used to installing because i use Logic. I cant see this instrument in the Plugins folder in Live.

Im on Live 7. Im sure the plugin is installed as its in the Plugins>Components folder on my mac.

Any ideas why this is?

Thanks, Ben :)
