I'm not familiar with Windows but I see your graphics card is kind of on the old side. Do you have good graphics performance in other applications? Can you play hd videos smoothly etc? I feel like a lot of modern VSTs have pretty intense interfaces. If the graphical load for the whole computer is to...

the "dummny" midi track has to have nothing on it. No instruments or audio effects.

Then you set the midi output to the the track with Harmony Engine and select the plugin.

Try resetting the SMC.

Shut down the computer and hold down shift + control + option + power button for 10 seconds. Then start it up again.

what parameters are automated in the session? many or only a few? When you stop playback, what is the last step as shown in the Undo command (Edit menu) ? you're saying when you stop playback, ALL automated parameters stop following their automation? When you hit the MIDI assign mode (MIDI button to...

hey, how do u mean 'interrupt the audio' ?

have you tried it without the midi controller connected?

ya, you know as TLW mentions it sounds like maybe something weird with pitchbend automation -- i think i've had instances where live doesn't seem to 'reset' the pitchbend to 0 in the right way ?

vido, sorry to hear that. You might find you get more used to it with practice and you get faster at it. a lot of people I know use a combination of melodyne, revoice, and autotune to edit vocals. melodyne studio works pretty great and you can see all the instances of melodyne in your project overla...

In Live 9, I believe you can click the "+" button to add that parameter as another automation lane. Then, you can select all the points and delete in the new lane.

hey caspy So you say However I can solo my recorded audio and it sounds fine. It’s like the instrumental is way to loud. I can also turn the gain up on my NI Komplete Audio 6 interface, but there comes a point on the knob, I can’t turn it any higher because it picks up every background sound possibl...

I had issues on this with Yosemite and High Sierra. The ultralite mk4 has "AVB" type functionality in that you can control it over wifi on the web interface but isn't branded AVB i don't believe. Someone else just told me they were really impressed with the Presonus Quantum. gonna look mor...

i think resolume is pretty scalable and kind of runs plugins as needed so can serve as a simple playback device and be as light as you need it, but i'm not so familiar. if you don't need to trigger the videos on the fly with session clips on the first computer then using Link to play back videos on ...

hey, I haven't explored these kind of setups in a long time but a lot of my video and VJ friends use a program called Resolume.

I imagine you could set up what you describe using only MIDI pretty easily.

hey guys, thanks for the thoughts. @shift gorden I've had 2 focusrite cards in the past stop working and support did nothing for me both time because I was literally days outside my warranty :( those experiences soured me on focusrite but it was a while ago and I have heard positive things recently....

You don't mention anything about the computer you're using the MOTU with, or what latency / buffer size you're using. Have you tried the MOTU on other computers? Have you adjusted latency? In other words are you sure it's the MOTU that's the issue? thanks for the thoughts. Yes indeed. multiple comp...

hi guys, i've had so much trouble with my motu ultralite mk4. i'm on my second one that motu sent me and it crashes all the time and there is distortion and crackling. i've spent a year exhaustively troubleshooting this with motu and their support isn't able to fix it and i've just spent too much ti...
