A lot of those kinds of sounds are used in film and tv production too. - Omnisphere has a lot of the choir and vocal pads. - There's probably a lot of NI Kontakt sample packs for this kind of stuff. - Search out what's available from the sample pack distributors like Loopmasters. - Sample old films,...

If you look at a midi track without an instrument, you'll notice there is no volume fader, or pan knob. It definitely sucks that the track envelopes are deleted, but it's probably not a bug. Consider using "Midi Ctrl" > "7 - Volume" envelopes for your clips instead. This informat...

Do a "save as" to create a new version of the project, and experiment or setup the changes a head of time.

Nothing worse than having someone looking over your shoulder impatiently waiting for you to make changes like that.

The "Intro" version of Live 9 only allows for 4 mono audio inputs. Not sure about the limitations for the "Lite" version.

Not sure if Eric's relationship with Roland is still tight, but they could be creating 'plug-outs' for Roland's new System 1 hardware (assuming Roland will allow 3rd parties to do this), or they could just roll their own hardware. Having a light version of Omnisphere & Trilian, or something new,...

Yes, you can do everything you've described. There are two drop-down menus in the clip Envelopes properties box that allow you to choose a device, and then its individual controls. This also includes rack macro knobs, and 3rd party VSTs that have had their controls configured. https://www.ableton.co...

Can't see the device lane in your video. What are the configured settings for Live's "External Instrument" device on each of those MIDI tracks?

You mention keys. Do you have more than one keyboard?

Download the user guide for the Remote SL, and follow the setup instructions for Live. If done properly, the SL will be setup as a Control Surface and keyboard controller through its USB port, and you will have the ability to use its two 5-pin Din Midi out ports to play/control your old synths. Also...

...when you drop a sample on a midi track. When I drop a sample on a Midi track, it's converted to an Audio track. When I drop a sample in the area that has no tracks, I get an Audio track there too. A Simpler cannot be in an Audio track. If you're looking for Live to know which you want (Audio tra...
