Re: Live 11 is coming !!!

I like the very laidback message that dropped in my inbox, simply “Live 11 is coming” :D Plenty of nice shiny things in there, but the nitty gritty is often the most interesting to me: Edit loops of multiple clips simultaneously, focus on a single clip in context and easily transpose entire arrangem...

Re: Do you turn off your Push 2 after daily usage?

P1 was PSU powered only so when I switch off my desk power it went off too which I much prefer but it's a first world problem to press another button. Nope, my Push 1 is certainly bus powered ;) The lights are a bit dimmer when not using the psu, which is nice late at night, but not so much in dayl...

Re: Mixing in mono on a single speaker?

So I ended up getting both the Behringer C50A and a Big Knob. My mixes started sounding better from the minute I clicked "place order" :P On a weird side note, the logo plaque on the speaker says "Auratone". I thought the photos on Thomann's website had been mixed up somehow, but...

Re: Grain Scanner vs Granulizer 2

I suppose you mean Grain Scanner vs Granulator 2? I'd like to know too, so I'm bumping! :)

Re: Mixing in mono on a single speaker?

I use a single Avantone mono speaker to do my main mix.... it's a poor sounding speaker by itself (very prominent mids) ... if your mix can sound good on this speaker, it will sound great on your main monitors.... my main monitors are Yamaha HS7's but I use these to give the mix a final polish. To ...

Re: Mixing in mono on a single speaker?

Thanks for the replies!

I'll look into how to hook things up - maybe there's some kind of switch box, even? (Switching outputs in Live's preferences isn't that much of a hassle, of course, but the idea of just pressing a button or turning a knob is nice ;)

Mixing in mono on a single speaker?

For a long time I've been using Utility to collapse individual channels or the master to mono, in order to spot phasing issues. Recently, I've seen several recommendations to use a single mid-range (and not necessarily great quality) mono speaker for this task and for getting a better idea of what y...

Video issue in 10.1.3

For me, video has always been buggy in Live, but in the latest version, 10.1.3, the video window behaves very oddly. Instead of a sizeable "Windows" window, it's just a rectangle that occupies the upper left corner of my main screen, always on top when Live is the app in focus, so that I h...

View two audio simultaneously for easy sync

I've re-recorded some dialogue for a video (ADR), and I really find myself wanting a feature that would let me superimpose an audio clip on top of another clip, so that I could easily sync them up perfectly by adjusting the warp markers of the new recording. Basically, it would be almost like multip...

Re: iPadOS version

Would you all pay the same price for an iPad version as the desktop version though? Like I mentioned in my previous post in this thread, I never pictured a "full" version on the iPad - more like a companion app of sorts, something that would let you seamlessly continue your iPad "ske...

Parameter automation in NI Reaktor?

This is something I just cannot wrap my head around. In Kontakt, you can drag host automation ID's or whatever onto parameters (not all and always, but usually), and then you can use Live's "configure" feature to prepare it for automation. In Reaktor, I cannot figure out how to do this. Is...

Re: iPadOS version

I would love a lightweight Live version for the iPad, one that would integrate seamlessly with the PC/Mac version, so that it would be easy to get an idea started on the iPad and then keep working on the desktop/laptop.

Re: Mixing under a slanted ceiling?

Yeah, upside-down V is correct; the room is almost square, but has a non-loadbearing wall inserted on the left hand side to create a small storage space behind it.

Mixing under a slanted ceiling?

Does anyone have any experience with or tips for mixing in a loft room with a slanted ceiling? It’s relatively spacious and carpeted, so it’s not too reflective, but I don’t know where to face my monitors. Would it be better to face them towards one of the sides with the slanted ceiling (long ends) ...
