Is Hot Swap Working as per the Manual?

I can't seem to get it working as described in the manual. I need to double-click the preset to preview and load it (which I did before L6 so it's not much of an improvement). The manual speaks of simply browsing the presets to preview and a double click (or return) to load. I have even read magazin...

But if your clip is at the same tempo as the session no warping will take place even if the warp button is turned on. This has been well documented and tested here on the forum in the past. Just tested this via the phase cancellation test, and yes this appears to be true, for all warp modes EXCEPT ...

Unfortunately, if you turn off warping on your loops, you lose envelope information and you cannot make a clip loop. Quite annoying, if you ask me. I agree with this also ... Why does Live's design enforce disabling of CLips if not warped? It's a strange choice. Yes, follow actions achieve a simila...

I'd like to know too. Align start of clip to marker / song position line at a frame level resolution (like pickup in logic), smpte main display option instead of beats/bars and nudge song position line again at a single frame resolution are all things that would really consolidate the video features...

Ultralite fine here. Using 6 audio ins plus S/PDIF with no probs at 256 samples in Live 6. If it makes you feel any better, I only lasted a couple of days with the saffire too. All the audible resetting every time I changed sample rates or did anything to do with the audio interface and poor perform...

OK - I take it back it is working. Don't know what happened before but I was pretty much doing everything as you describe. No worries - it's fine now. Man, I love Sampler!

Thanks!

New Future Music mag rates Tannoy Reveal 5A as top choice in their price bracket. I've got a pair and I think they are excellent FOR THE MONEY. Spend more you get more but these are definitely punching above their weight.

FM Sampler Review

New Future Music (UK) review of Live 6 and Sampler seems to confirm my experience. I flatly vowed that I wouldn't buy Sampler because it was a rip-off and should have been bundled with Live. Then I unlocked the demo and was amazed by how quickly and easily I was able to create new sounds. Instant pu...

It's a basic midi file rather than a Live clip - does that make a difference?

Thanks for that but...
No joy. I tried it with the set running and with different instruments, etc. Nothing whilst playing as a preview in the browser, drag it into a midi slot on the same track and it plays back fine. Any other ideas?

Preview Midi Clip

In Live 6 should I be able to hear a midi clip preview in the browser like I can with an audio file? It plays back (well the progress bar moves) when I select it as it should and the selected track has a midi instrument inserted but I can't hear anything. When I drag the clip over to the track it pl...

Latest iTunes just introduced this gapless playback feature, so yes, it will work in iTunes. It won't work though if the listener doesn't have this version of iTunes or a host which has similar gapless playback if you see what I mean.
