Re: DMG Audio Compassion (new compressor) is out!!!!

Can'T figure out how to select external inputs for the sidechain with this compressor. Can you select external inputs the same way you can with Live's bundled compressor? I'm assuming you've had this answered already, as it took me a minute to figure out too, since Ableton's stock compressor is pre...

If you haven't felt this frustration you aren't doing something worthwhile. I struggle all the time, but don't take my word for it. All the great have struggled and sacrificed.

Re: Why does Battery sound better than simpler or sam for kicks?

@Todd OMG - thanks for a detailed post that delivered some great info. Posts like that help make this forum truly useful. As new and more detailed info has continued to show up in this thread, I've also been continuing to look at what Battery has to offer. There is obviously plenty of room for Batte...

Re: Why does Battery sound better than simpler or sam for kicks?

You can set up it so samples load into drumracks with a user setting. i.e. envelops opened all the way up. I know it's not an exact answer, but it will help from always having to turn up decay, sustain, release in sampler or simpler. Oh, this sounds pretty excellent. Thanks for chiming in! How do y...

Re: Why does Battery sound better than simpler or sam for kicks?

You do realize that Simpler wont play the audio in HQ mode tho? Its the same as importing audio in the arrangw with the HQ box ticked off. Sampler on the other hand, have HQ options, so try that and it should sound the same. I did not realize that. That could explain why I thought Sampler sounded b...

Re: Why does Battery sound better than simpler or sam for kicks?

@scutheotaku thanks for the thoughtful reply. Retrigger is on in Sampler, but switching it off does not change the sound. Also remember, I'm converting Simpler to Sampler and getting a marginally better sound (or at least believe I am). Battery happens to sound the best, but Sampler sounds better th...

Why does Battery sound better than simpler or sam for kicks?

As a test, I loaded up Battery with a basic kick, clap, and hat and dropped in a basic 4x4 midi pattern. I routed battery outputs to individual audio tracks to simplify using effects on each sound. Next, I loaded up a drum rack and dropped in the same basic kick, clap, and hat along with the midi. D...

Re: Sound is distorted. Audio engine problems ?

Top right of the screen: do you see the D button light to orange? Thanks for your question. No, the D button has never been lit during these issues. I have a pretty fast HD -- a hybrid SSD + 7200 RPM drive. It seems that there are two issues that I see occurring: 1. dropouts due to CPU overload 2. ...

Re: Wow...had to go back to 8.1...???

I've had the same experience with Logic working and Live not. I've been migrating my production work to Live because it's faster to get an idea out. I really love Live for speed. But I noticed CPU issues and crackling with Live that were never present with Logic. I even built a few tracks in paralle...

Re: Sound is distorted. Audio engine problems ?

I'm using 8.2.1. I unhooked the duet and restarted my machine, then hooked the duet back up again. Problem seems to have gone away for a bit. I've also e-mailed Apogee support. This problem also affected my NI Kore Controller yesterday, so I'm not entirely sure it's duet related. Things seem to poin...

Re: Wow...had to go back to 8.1...???

I spoke too soon. Crackling happening with the USB interface too. Shut off/turn on audio engine fixes this for a playback. Strangely, I plugged the duet back in and not it's running cleanly at 512 samples with no crackling.

Is this and issue Live's audio engine?
