Thanks cacti,

Yes, we had EXT button on. Both machines start together & in sync when play is pressed on the Mac, but drift out of sync over time.

Maybe ram is an issue, though both work fine independently - just trying to sync them together gives problems.

A friend & I have been trying to sync our laptops to work together in Live - I'm on a Macbook Pro looping live percussion, he's looping vsti's & beats using sampler on a PC. We've been using the Mac as master to PC slave. They're perfectly synced at first but the slave progressively goes out...

musician - freelance percussionist working with various types of music - performer & teacher. Fairly new to Ableton ( loving it ) & recently started using it for multi percussion live loop sampling.

thanks very much for the reply i was thinking of buying some gongas and bongos or i could just buy a sample cd lol you wouldnt happen to know any do you? not sure what a gonga is, but congas & bongos could set you back a few quid & will take time to learn the techniques to get the proper so...

Press the Recall button on the Axiom, then use the + and - buttons to select preset 17. If you then drag Impulse into a track from the browser & record arm it, the buttons should be already set up to trigger the drum sounds in the impulse. If you drag operator / simpler into a track & rec. a...

ok, no comments yet. thanks anyway to those of you who too the time to have a look / listen. My own thoughts - the main thing that sticks out to me is the volume difference between the live & playback sounds - most noticeable on the tambourine & shakers. Is anyone else here live looping acou...

Been using Live since january & just done a couple of gigs - live loop sampling percussion. have put a short video clip on MySpace - not great quality, but any feedback / comments welcome, cheers, Jon. http://www.myspace.com/jonsterckx also some audio recordings here - http://www.jonsterckx.co.u...

And the very quick response was:

we will add this to the wishlist, thanks for your mail.

Have emailed Ableton requesting it - you can but try!

Still in need of this - would be really useful - at least as an option. ideally with different shades as you go down through scenes.

In Live 6, go to file - manage files. File management box opens on right. Click manage project & it'll show you how many unused samples the project contains. Click show - they'll appear in the browser on the left - here you can delete them.

Check that you have group A enabled on the preset you're working with. I think group A relates to the keys, pitch bend wheel & modulation wheel, Group B to the rotary knobs & transport controls & group C to the pads. I've been using the Axiom 25 ( & live ) since January & have ha...

Many thanks for those posts. I've not had much luck with midistrokes so far - it seems to be a bit unpredictable with my setup for some reason - will keep trying. Thanks also for the Mackie control advice - that looks like it could be a great option if I can manage to emulate it with the axiom. Chee...

Hi longjohns - thanks for the reply & advice. I have been trying with Midistrokes, but with no success as yet. Could you please explain a bit more what you meant about "tacking on a few "alt+up" strokes to the front of the scripts."

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the same thing for my Axiom 25 - using the axiom keys / pads to scroll left & right in session view as I can with the computer arrow keys. Did you work it out?
any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
