remote midi control - forward/back through scenes

i am just getting into remote midi stuff. i can trigger scenes in my set by assigning them each to their own midi note but i'd like to be able to setup a midi note to move forwad (down) one scene, and another to move back (up).

might this be possible and how?

crazy - i was just coming here to ask this thread's very same question. my main remaining question is if i have up to 10-20 scenes per song - i am concerned about the session view becoming incredibly long. although maybe that's just the way it has to be. it would be so nice though if there was a way...

I want my clips to loop - but with no warp effects

i have exported loops from a production i did in cubase. the track is at 113 bpm. every audio bit is exactly X (1,2, 4 etc) bars in length and therefore can loop exactly in time at 113 bpm. some elements are percussion, some guits, bass, drums etc. Even longer elements like a saxophone solo. but eve...

my experience with live PA context is you need somewhat less compression. when things a loud in a club your elements should sound bumping and compression limiting the dyn range may actually make them sound less powerfully because of the lower dynamic range. you're not dealing with loudness wars in l...

i haven't done it yet ... but my approach would be to go as far as possible in Live - then when it's time to mixdown. Consolodate all tracks from start to end of song. Create cubase project - and copy/move the consol tracks into the cubase project "audio" folder. Import each into the proje...

it's interesting reading this thread... i left cubase sx3 to produce my last track in live 6. i have more or less given up on cubase because of slow evolution of the product and lack of stability and fixing horrid bugs. while i have had exactly the same issues with the lack of performance and comple...

amilo -

i haven't had any probs with the latency/delay comp. but i'll keep an eye on that. i don't see why it should be a prob - but i am relatively new to live - is there something different about live's delay comp capabilities compared to say cubase sx?

sure will give a spin. my mixes are getting more and more elaborate and have realized that to really "compete" with some of the mixes i aspire to - i would need a lot more processor. i already have a uad1 - and a decent but no longer top shelf cpu (p4 3 ghz). so - went down to GT and purch...

ok via skins ...but i would not change the core gui look in anything other than very subtle tweaky ways.

coming from cubase sx and having used many other daws...live's visual is exceptional. clean, out of the way - extremely well thought out.

the software has really come a long way since i used it last. it is the product of people who really know how to design software artfully.
