Re: Adjust all tracks to uniform height in arrange?

Thanks Tarekith, the newish shortcut has slipped my attention. I had to try it of course, two things: You don't really have control over the height (manual says it "optimises height") and, it's a toggle, switching between the uniform height and the individual heights you may have set befor...

Re: Clip length mystery - longer clips getting cut short in live 10

In what file format are the files recorded on the H4n, do they contain marks? According to the current H4n Pro manual, p. 49 WAV files recorded in STEREO/4CH/STAMINA mode comply with BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) and include marks and creation dates That may not go down well with some audio software i...

Re: Adjust all tracks to uniform height in arrange?

Pressing ALT while dragging the track header divider will change all tracks' heights at once. When you have tracks of different heights, this will change the individual track heights in proportion to each other. But when you keep dragging the highest one upwards until all are minimized, then drag do...

Do we have to go to the control panel every time we plug in or unplug our headphones?
Do we?

Oh yes, we do. We want every bit of control of what's playing where.

I'd never again want to be without an audio interface with extensive routing options.

Re: Cannot bend automation line

It's a label that comes on when you hover the mouse cursor over the automation line. It's not a switch. No doubt about the label. Tarekith is hinting at the type of parameter you're trying to automate. Take the Mixer parameters: Speaker On is a switch type, only knows on or off, while Track Volume ...

Is it an automation line for something that only had an on off control or some other kind of switch?
There's an "On" flag above the automation line and -point. I'd take that as a yes.

Re: Hard Pan is not Hard Pan?

What generation Scarlett have you got there? As far as I know the 2nd gen Focusrite Control software changed some of the workflow from the 2st gen Scarlett Mix Control. But both should allow you to set up several "Mixes" where you activate one or several output (pairs) per mix to get e.g. ...

Re: Hard Pan is not Hard Pan?

Pan is not pan but balance. You may choose mono (external) inputs, but beyond that Live's mixer is stereo busses. several Utility plugins hard panned Now THERE they labeled it correctly as "Balance". But you don't want to use that to balance the full track; it's more useful in the middle o...

Re: How to hear solely the audio effect/reverb of a MIDI track

all the explanations use slang I don't understand yet I'm afraid we end up using all the same slang because we don't know any better. I've read up about rooting on the manual but it hasn't cleared things either. Good start, go on with the "Mixing" chapter, because there's the one easy sol...

Re: MP3 - Bad sound

Back with more questions, and - though using any internal soundcard (still assuming you do) is far from ideal, even if your application is not music production or performance - I'd like to get back to the sounds you're firing there. Are those sound effects or musical cues? Where are the mp3s from? -...
