According to UAD, all Apollo interfaces are DC-Coupled except for the old silver model. As the above-mentioned article states, your best (and safest) bet is to use a floating ring jack cable (it's not a regular TS-to-TRS jack). Maybe try that and see if it works. Expert Sleepers make one. Being a UK...

Take a look at the modulators in this free Mod Squad pack.

That's exactly it. Thanks so much! I Not only the LFO, everything else on that pack is a gem.

Modulate the modulating LFO’s Depth with another LFO? *xhibit grin*

Sounds like it could do the trick. Although the second modulator would need to be just as slow, so we'd be in square one? I'll try it. Thanks.

When setting the LFO device to the slowest speed on its Random shape it separates the value changes in time, but the actual shifts between values occur pretty quickly even with 100% Smoothness. I'm working on a project that needs extremely slow shifts between random values on a few parameters (think...

At the risk of burning at the stake for heresy, and as a 99% Ableton Live user, I don't think you're using the right tool for acoustic mixing. There are other DAWs out there more focused on that kind of work, such as Studio One, Cubase or Logic.

I usually set up a dedicated scene only for fade-ins on each track and another for fade-outs (clips don't need to have note content, just set up a volume automation line).

have you tried scene actions instead? not tried with push but i maybe the scene trigger buttons flash instead of the pads, less distracting.. Good call. I'll give it a try since I'm working with just the one track, so shouldn't hurt. Thanks. EDIT: It worked, thanks. Now what's flashing in the Push ...

So I have one track with two clips. I wanted the first clip to loop for most of the time but randomly every now and then the second clip to play once and back to the first one. I set the second one to Next at 100% and 1x. Since they're adjacent and part of the same clip group, that does it. I set th...

Is it possible that you've set the tempo for one scene, but not for the other? You need to set the tempo for both scenes (one at 90 the other at 81). Scenes that don't have a set tempo will adopt the default one, which is whatever the project tempo says at any given time. If you trigger a scene at 8...

There's one (and only one) thing about Bitwig that I prefer over Live, and that's the built-in modulation on every device, which happens to be unlimited (I think) and has its own inspector window to keep track of all modulation by source or target. Super neat. Unfortunately I dislike pretty much eve...

So if I understand correctly -- move /Ableton/User & /Ableton/Factory (plus any projects & sets) to the external, then update the references in Live's Preferences panes. For sanity's sake I use the same path as the original, only in an external disk. So on my SSD I've got: Documents/Ableton...

-- Do I just drag them in the Finder to their new location and then tell Live "HEY! Look over HERE! ?" Basically yes. Via Preferences. The tabs you want to look at for that are File/Folder and Library. Other DAWs move the whole thing for you when you change the location, but I couldn't te...

Thanks for the reply, but on my end (L11 too) it doesn't work the way you describe it. Yes, setting Distance to +12st causes the arpeggio to transpose by octaves, but in that scenario Steps determines the octave range. The way I understand it, Random Other should play any of the notes contemplated a...

Since software instruments turn the MIDI into audio in the chain, is there any way to tap into the MIDI they output? I'd like to capture the MIDI generated by the arpeggiators on Arturia V Collection synths, but I haven't figured out a way to do it.

Live's stock Arpeggiator doesn't seem to randomise the octaves (Steps) on either the Random Other or Random Once settings. Instead it will go through each octave one after the other in an orderly manner, like it does when using the Up, Down... settings. It does seem to work as expected on its plain ...
