I'm not pre-judging anything, just summarizing.

I appreciate everyone's input. I'm going to conclude there's no real definition of controllerism. It's either about quality of performance, perceived skill of performance or perceived skill with instrument, an act of performance that shows perceived skill, an entertaining performance or a scene/cul...

I have decided to start a thread and ask you what music is. If I don't like your answer I will tell you that you're wrong no matter what you say. discuss... Music is a word. The word has several meanings. It can refer to methods of representation (eg "sheet music"). It can refer to certai...

It's not really a debate. It is one person who is stuck in a mental rut who has his own definition of music that doesn't correspond with anyone else's and who just keeps repeating the same thing. A number of other people have tried to engage in rational debate but all have given up in the end becaus...

IMO only MIDI tracks can be considered "music" in a sequencer. MIDI sequences are representations of music, just as a photograph might represent a person. The representation is not the thing itself. Surely this is obvious? Music can be represented in various ways, including MIDI, but thes...

White American males, late 20s early thirties, designer hair and stubble. Lots of tracks, some triggering the light show.

I recently upgraded from 6 to 8 suite because they offered a good deal. The basic functionality of the program is the same but there are some significant enhancements. For example instrument racks and drum racks ( the latter seems to make impulse redundant). Of course with suite you get all the inst...

Looking around at maybe buying my first synthesizer and just wondered if anyone had any suggestions. Complete beginner at this and want something thats easy to get to grips with, not going to break the bank but still puts out some quality sounds. Love getting to grips with new tech and experimentin...

You can resize every automation lane in the same manner as you resize audio tracks. (Move your mouse to the left side of the arrangement view where you can read the names of your tracks, then to the bottom edge of your automation lane. Now you have to see the resize icon as a mouse cursor. Click an...

Hi. I live in New Zealand. I am going to be in Berlin for two weeks in September. Where should I go to hear interesting electronic music?

Is it possible to change the range of values that are visible n the automation lanes or do I have to scroll up and down?

In the Instant Remix tutorial the automation lane scale is too wide to show the whole range of values. How to I change the scale so I can see the whole range?

I had Live4.0 on my old laptop, upgraded to version 5 then version 6. I have just changed laptops. I have downloaded the latest version of Live, but should I just install that, or should I install my version 4 again and then install the upgrade? Or something else? Thanks, David.

in order to have one set of midi controls per track would mean that I'd need to have 1 controller track per synth-line in Live. True. It is a hack, not very elegant. It appear to me that the reason Ableton may not have fixed this obvious problem is to do with the design of "remote control"...
