I ripped a DVD to an m4v video and have it loaded into Live so that I can sample audio from it. It's a full-length movie so the video is long, nearly two hours and the file size is around 1.4 gigs. My system is a new MacBook Pro, 2.8 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 gigs of ram and 2 Nvidia video cards. ...

In n Out is good!

Depends on your budget of course, but I really like the 24" Dell UltraSharp I use at work. Thinking about getting one to replace my monitor at home though I believe there is a slightly newer model that I would go with.

It would be great if the Hot Swap function had an option to preview a sample as though it were swapped WITHOUT actually swapping it. For example, let's say I have a drum loop and I want to try out some new snares. To hear my loop with a new sample I have to use Hot Swap to apply the sample to my loo...

So I never did figure this out. BUT recently I switched from my PC to a MacBrook Pro and I do not have this problem. I can automate my Ion parameters with no problems. Weird!

I added a MacBook Pro and a sub!

...and it has nothing to do with the content!

I hate that when doing a search you can not specify to search only within topic titles. Makes it quite difficult to find the kind of threads you're looking for! Thanks!

This is a strange problem I've been having. In the past I've worked on a PC but recently switch to a MacBook Pro. The problem has been occurring in both operating systems, both running Live 8.0.4. I have an external synth (Alesis Ion) set up on an External Instrument device. When I work in the Sessi...

I have an Alesis Ion set up as an External Instrument in Live. When its time to export my song, I randomly run into a bug where the Alesis Ion notes will stick. I have to cancel the export and retry. Whether or not the notes stick seems to happen at random. They will also stick sometimes when simply...

So I am leaving the land of my desktop PC for the pastures of a portable Mac machine. I really want to go portable and am looking forward to starting from scratch. This is what I want to put together: - Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch, 2.66GHz, 4GB Memory - FireWire MOTU UltraLite-mk3 audio interface - Ab...

Is anyone familiar with some kind of VST sequencer that one could use as a replacement for Live's default sequencer? Specifically I am looking for something with decent automation options. Any time I try and automate my external synth in a Live clip the sound gets trashed (I believe its an NRPN issu...

Any idea why hitting C5 on my keyboard would be recorded in Live as C4? I had the same problem with my Korg Nanopad and had to go into the Nanopad settings and alter each pad assignment by one octave. Thanks!

Right now I tend to only record one instrument at a time, an external synth. But one of the reasons I want to move to a laptop is so I can bring my rig to a buddy's place and record with him and potentially another musician, in which case we'd probably be bringing in 3 instruments at once. But if Fi...

I'm looking to buy a new machine, most likely a laptop, which means I'll have to get a new audio interface. I currently have an EMU 1820 which I love, but its PCI. I do hate to see it go, but could use a faster machine and something portable. There's all this talk about FireWire being dead now that ...

I use my Nanopad as a percussion controller and that's about it. I set up the first 3 scenes to reflect Battery's on-screen pads, and used Scene 4 for Live's Drum Rack pads. I enjoy it so far but even with the velocity curve tweaked it seems like I have to hit the thing pretty hard to get a sound out.
