From what I see from a friend who's beta testing it there is NO rendering of MP3's in there. Why bother then if you aren't going to allow us to render to MP3? Why would you want to take a compressed file into your palette of sounds to mess around with? That's what wav/aiff samples are for. MP3's sho...

reason is slave to live, man. i need heat sinks in my brain, cause i'm attempting something like this too. i use reason with live and i still am trying to figure out which app to use to use as a sound file editor, since the edit button in live prompts me to choose an app. is there a post about that...

Go to www.musicxp.com for tweaking suggestions. Same for www.tweakxp.com for more tweaks. But the musicxp.com site is geared to toning down the OS so it isn't such a resource hog. I've done it on the laptop and need to do my desktop system as well.

When they talk about mp3's and the ability to use them within ableton I am assuming as sample loops? Can it render to mp3 is my question. It isnt explained in the live info off the main site under the links. It'd be nice to know. I am still upgrading anyways for other reasons as well as the mp3 supp...

I am working on eventually using Live with my Synth and a VSTi instrument and noticed similar glitches with the audio. I'll have to do more testing at band practice to see if I can get this to be fairly repeatble. Laptop is: Compaq Presario 3410US Athlon XP-M 2800+ 1280Mb memory (PC2700 256mb onboar...

Just as an FYI it won't display as individual tracks in Acid either.

Maybe for quick renderings, but I would prefer to do the final mastering/compression outside Live, anyway. It's a nice feature, but just now there are many ways to do it outside Live. --Kent Hi Kent, Why would you want to do this outside of Live? Do you feel it is lacking for this purpose? I usuall...

I understand that but this should be a capability for outputting that format. We shouldn't have to load up yet another application to do the conversion to load up the tracks/samples to our online music/artist sites. It should be there as it's standard/optional on just about everything else out there...

Hi Alex! I wemt with what someone else had already posted, open up a default template and save it in preferences. Did that last night and now it does what I wanted it/expected it to do. I just find it odd that I have to save that as a default template vs using initial one. At least that nussance is ...

So just load up a default template, then go and save that off under defaults? Why can't I delete it in the first place? My buddy was able to on first ctrl-w/menu->delete session. Why it won't for me is what was bothering me. I'll set the default template next time I load it up. Thanks for the info t...

Maybe have a couple radio buttons to check, one for current settings of 1 measure/bar and the other for length of the sample? Personally I think it should default to the sample length.

It keeps the default template on the page no matter how many times I do a ctrl-w to close it. What's wrong with this picture? I'm able to load a default blank template (which I want it to do by default). How do I get this to load it up by default? This is really annoying....

What I feel should be a default is that the length of the loop/sample is filled in inside the Follow Action boxes instead of defaulting to 1 bar or whatever the default is. It would make Follow Actions much faster/easier IMHO. Sorry if topic is already posted somewhere else here.

If you are going to be doing live work as a DJ I'd say look at an external USB configuration for your audio connectivity. And make sure on your laptop you don't have a shared memory video setup in it. You'll want a separate video card installed/built in, not shared memory usage as that will bog your...

Has this been asked or not? I haven't it if it has already been requested. What I'd like is the ability to put song information into the file prior to rendering it out like artist, song name, copyright info, producer, etc...like they have in Acid when editing song properties. I find it a pain in the...
