Thoughts on the choice between these two interfaces? I am upgrading my computer and moving from Windows 7 to 10, and my current interface (Tascam US-1641) does not have Win10 drivers. RME seems to be the company to beat, but so expensive, can probably only justify the Babyface Pro. The MOTU Ultralit...

Do you have Hold on?

Virus TI is my main full size keyboard - I'm a one synth kind of guy, so I got the best one I could. Queno for finger drumming - small, portable, sits flat on a desk so no 'give' when playing. Swiss army knife of production controllers. Alesis ControlPad for real drumming-because it's hard to do dru...

Excellent post, should be stickied somewhere lol.

Seriously, thanks for that. In the midst of planning a new build right now and really appreciate the info.

Well what you said was mostly just dumb and I suppose that offends some people. I'm talking about the "what's the purpose of this device/why include it??" comments. The device clearly shows more than just the MIDI channel, so yeah, dumb. Just for reference, this is how you properly answer...

Sorry for asking a question. I could not give a single fuck about learning anything about Max, not my bag. I just wanted to see what channel some information was coming in on, figured a device called MIDI monitor would do that. It didn't, I didn't understand *why* it didn't, so I asked, and got an a...

The channel view is indeed at the moment slightly superfluous, Live merges EVERYTHING internally (device view) to Channel 1 no matter which channel your in/out section is set to... best, c That's weird. What is this device supposed to be used for then? Why even bother including it? This is why I ha...

For some reason, this device shows everything as being on MIDI channel 1, even though that's definitely not accurate. Example: I have a Moog sending & receiving on channel 5, and I can *see* that in Live's I/O section on that track, but the MIDI Monitor device on the same track shows all the pro...

I'd like to see Ableton do one of two things: 1) Make a Nocturn-like 8 knob/8 button controller that automatically maps to a rack's macros like the APC40 device controls. Bonus points if they could be daisy chained for signal + power, and racked. I'd love to have a rack full of Macro controllers tha...

So is the idea to still do your warping outside of Simpler, and Simpler just takes advantage of the set markers? I was surprised you can't choose the number of bars you want to warp the phrase as, and that you can't drag transients around, etc. Loops that I have warped already & drop into Simple...

Yes, all the time. Works 100% fine and is now indispensable to my workflow. I use it with both a Dell desktop and a Toshiba laptop.

Awesome. Touchable is easily the best Ableton controller I own, don't know what I'd do without it. Thank you.

Line 6 fbv express. $100 new, but I've got one I'd part with for $50 shipped fwiw. Works 100% fine, I just upgraded to it's big brother to get more switches since I use Live for all my guitar effects.
