Re: Novation Launch Control

Thanks - tried the FB page, which seems pretty useless. Solved it somehow today, suddenly was working for CCs. Maybe was a glitch in the USB hub I was using? Powered hub but the power was off at the time.
Anyway. All cool now.

Novation Launch Control

Asking here because Novation no longer has a forum for support, and can't find anything elsewhere. Any idea why the pads on a Novation Launch Control won't send momentary messages to Live? I have tried notes and CCs and selecting Momentary in the Launch Control editor. Whatever I do, the pads only t...

Re: CPU usage in Live 10

After reading this thread, I decided to open up my default set for a quick CPU check, (no clips, lots of VST instruments and effects, 30 tracks, 9 aux returns). All normal for me, if anything could be better than Live 9.

Re: How to raise volume on a portion of the track

Automation lanes can be tiresome. Depending on the track, here's a quick workaround I use often: use CNTRL E to split the part of a track/clip (arrange view) you want to change the volume - click on that section and then raise or lower the clip volume slider, which will only alter the volume for tha...

Re: Ambisonic/Multi-channel/Surround Sound Support

+1
I mean SURROUND PANNING which is different to using aux channels as a workaround.
Been requesting this for years but the word is that for tech reasons it is hard to implement in Live.

Re: Anyone having problem with this new 9.7.2?

yes - crashed a couple of times on startup scanning VSTS - then seemed to resolve itself. Go figure.
Auto update.

Re: Post your most obscure Ableton Live knowledge

i slide transients around like that when matching doubled vocal phrases to the previous takes. I can stretch individual parts in vocal phrases. So I get the "doubled" vocal vibe and the phrases match perfectly (ish). I assume people use Melodyne to do similar things but it is really fast i...

Re: Controllers Losing Communication with Laptop

Sometimes USB devices get sent to sleep (Windows) - my softstep2 was having problems and I discovered this (er, didn't actually solve my softstep problem but it was good to know). Softstep support always blame the cable first BTW. :mrgreen: Maybe this will help: http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-xp-ti...

Re: Lose my interface when I plug in my HDMI

I have a PC system and I believe that when I plug in an HMDI connector, a set of related audio drivers gets installed, that at the very least overrides the system audio drivers. I have to go to device manager and disable (or delete) them. :roll:

Re: optimising my set for a live thing

Also helps to remove unused stop buttons in session view. Don't know why but people say that lightens CPU load.

Hard Disk oVerload light

Hi, Anybody got a suggestion as to why the Hard Disk OL lights up when I am playing a Live Instrument and does not with a Kontakt type sample instrument in the same set? Everything is on the same HD. I thought I'd try to lighten up my live set by using native Ableton synths instead of third party......
