Re: Switching instruments using MIDI-controller

By FAR creating a rack and using the 'chain selector' option (do a search for it, I'm not going to be able to explain it fully, it's too late :-P) is the easiest way to 'flip through instruments on the fly'. I'm currently experimenting with having a knob on my midi gear that I turn (you could use mi...

Re: ULTIMATE Clip Pack/Tune Organization for DJs

I get the idea of non destructive slicing to create an als clip pack I DON'T get this? and I feel it's important, what exactly do you guys mean by non destructively slicing the create an ALS clip pack? Also, how exactly are these .als files used in your setup to help you organise? This sounds like ...

Re: Best way to record midi loops in session view

Dude 8) Abes is the bomb... there are a LOT of options for launching clips. You can remove 'stop' buttons so that you can launch a scene and not have clips stop, ableton will definately auto-loop stuff in any way or fashion you desire you just need to know how to set it up! I have the global quantiz...

Re: Live 8.1.4 is released

Ha ha! You guys at ableton have done it! :-D Using on my macbook (see specs/hardware below) was VERY buggy with 8.1.3 and was hard to keep the program running for an hour or so without a crash. I sent in as many bug reports as I could hoping they'd all be used and the problems would be fixed, and it...

Re: Stop Buttons!

You can set this up fairly easy. First up i assume you're using user1 or user2 mode to stop tracks and assigning the midi to the stop button at the top of live. Different approach would be to assign it to the "stop clips" button at the bottom of your 'scene launch' section (look up and dow...

Can't add any more audio clips to live?

Hey! I'm using ableton at the moment to practice DJing (just starting out, will be using cdj's live but I have ableton for production purposes so I'm practicing using it) Now, I'm creating a large dj set with 3 tracks full of songs (1 whole song per clip slot) and there's around 100 clips in the set...

Re: The Automap 3 Mixer Control petition for Live 8

Something like that... I often find when using traktor with my Zero SL MkII as the controller I have to re-load the settings file now and again... it does seem kinda glitchy, I don't perform live as yet, just beginning, but I can see your frustration. I think it'd be a thing more for the novation fo...

Re: The Automap 3 Mixer Control petition for Live 8

@ Madlab: You need to 'save' the automap presets I think (I mostly use the Automap Midi - endless CC's and midi channels for personal mappings ;-) but not automatic :-( ) If you bring automap into focus, click "file" "save" up the top (mac) and save your current setup, at LEAST y...

Re: The Automap 3 Mixer Control petition for Live 8

WOW 8O That's a great idea - having the ableton instruments appear in the automap 'menu' (ie hit "inst" then you see "operator, analog" etc. in the display on the SL) And YES! I can confirm that ableton (8.1.3) and Automap (3.4.1) do work in harmony, the "mixer" key doe...

Re: Automap 3.4,Launchpad, 8.1.1, win 7 64, 2.8, 8gb not workin

I thought it was impossible to run the launchpad in "automap mode" when it is connected to live? Live sorta hi-jacks the whole launchpad, user 1 and 2 modes just send midi data, they avoid automap completely. Infact, the launchpad operates fine in live WITHOUT automap even installed - I'm ...

Re: Moving an audio file to match the grid

Same topic, similar question, How do I move the start marker to BEFORE the clip? or delay the launch of a clip or similar... IE. pretend I want the START of the audio file to be beat 1.2 instead of beat 1.1? It doesn't seem possible to move the play marker before the clip, is it possible to delay th...

Re: The Automap 3 Mixer Control petition for Live 8

Thanks tetragammon, I AM a 'fairly new' live user, so i've only seen 8.0 onwards. I'll look for this configure button and at least I can use this workaround for now to put automation on a few of my tracks ;-) Cheers! Really I think it's obvious the mixer problem is a live thing NOT a novation thing....

oh man - THIS sucks... So I finally get my head around how to use the features of automap and want to record my work (live recording) WITH automation... No hope........ Automapped plugins DO NOT record automation, since automap doesn't send midi messages to live, it just kinda moves the controls lik...

Re: The Automap 3 Mixer Control petition for Live 8

Doesn't seem like it'd be a hard job to do... I think a similar thing could be acheived by novation ALLOWING us to select some controlls to be "global" and some to be "assignable", the globals could stay the same regardless of weather you're in automap/advanced mode and remain th...
