Re: Anyone using a Graphics Tablet as a Controller Device?

Try this:

Also, I believe that there is a wacom object for PureData (Max/MSP's free cousin), that lets you read all the pressure/gesture info and do what you want with it, including MIDI output.

another question re setting up Korg microKontrol via Automap

I've got a Korg microKontrol almost perfectly set up, but there is one thing that is stumping me - the drum pads are mapped to notes which play drum racks (good), but the Ableton docs (Control Surface Reference in the Lessons) show that I should be able to use them to select among parameter banks.

Re: Enable Trackpoint scrolling for Ableton on Thinkpads

This also works with the Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad travel keyboard, the one with TrackPoint and TrackPad built-in.

Enable Trackpoint scrolling for Ableton on Thinkpads

Hey, those of you using Thinkpads with Ableton Live may have noticed that middle-button scrolling does not work in Live. However, there is a fix. I've tried it on two Thinkpads, and it has worked perfectly. 1) Find the file tp4table.dat, it will be either at c:\Program Files\Lenovo\Trackpoint\tp4tab...

Re: Live 8: For an unknown reason, Live could not delete the tem

Yep, I'm getting this too. Even just when closing an empty set. Ever since I started using Live 8 I've been getting intermittent messages that say: For an unknown reason, Live could not delete the temporary files from G:\Temp\Temp-nn Project\ The Temp folder fills up with stuff and I go in and manua...

Quicktime MJPEG or PhotoJPEG are probably the least CPU heavy codecs for playback, and also support the fastest seeking.

I've had excellent results with Apple ProRes422, but you probably only have that if you've installed Final Cut Pro.

If you use your ExpressCard slot for an eSATA connection, you can easily get better performance than the internal drive on your laptop. I was using a LaCie ExpressCard eSATA adapter with a G-Tech external drive for video capture, and was getting upwards of 90MBps transfer rates, better than the 7200...

If you want to make "really F*****d stuff", I recommend After Effects. Has by far the most extensive collection of really twisted effect plugins and such.

However, Vegas Video is surprisingly capable, for such an easy to use program.
