Hi hmj, If you're a registered NativeKontrol customer, you should definitely check out the NativeKontrol MapEase beta for Live 8. (If you're not a customer maybe it's time to become one ;-)). While not targetted soley at Maschine and so not designed to integrate the two products, it does allow you t...

Hi ST8, Thanks for your reply and for trying it out. Shame about the CPU load, given that I'm already running at around 40% it would be unwise to add something CPU intensive to the mix. Do you have links to any resources for the Python scripting for Live? Is this what VSTs are written in? Edit: just...

Hi, I don't own M4L - yet - but am wondering if something like this is possible and/or whether someone has created it already. I own Maschine and an APC40. I'm doing my sequencing and sound re/mixing inside Maschine for portability, but am controlling global stuff like levels, cross-fading, track an...

+ 1. Essential!

Hi, Can someone with a better head for routing tell me whether my setup is ok or not? And also whether my workaround could be replaced by a better soundcard (and if so, which one). Thanks! I have: 7 track groups (drums, bass, pads etc) audio to: MASTER PRE ============== MASTER PRE (audio) audio fro...

Surely people should be able to use their CPU as they see fit??

As you say a warning may be a good idea to give newbies a heads up, but removing the option altogether suggests that they think that their paying customers are too stupid to use this feature wisely.

Essential for good pitching of loops that are recorded on-the-fly

Yeah man I totally agree. They 'corrected' the manual online, but the way the paper manual is worded makes much more sense to me!

I've also been getting a ton of 'Out of Memory' errors in the past few weeks (I have been sending the bug reports off to bugs@ableton). The lack of stability in this version of live is really starting to hamper my workflow :-( I also have a big set but have been trying various things to optimise it....

Hi, I'm experimenting with follow actions at the moment. Does anyone else think that 'arrive' ('before') actions would be a useful addition? The current system seems to be set up to control what happens 'after' a certain clip fires: 1. Clip A -> Any other clip -> 2. Clip C -> First clip -> 3. Clip A...

Hi, I'm not sure if the subject line makes sense or not. Here's what I'm currently doing; 1. I add a Ping Pong delay to a track 2. I set the Feedback to 54%, Dry/Wet to 20% 3. Insert other fx devices 4. I group the fx devices into an fx rack 5. I open the rack's macro panel 6. I map macro #1 to the ...

Hi, In Google Docs spreadsheets there is an option to 'freeze' one or more columns or rows so that they remain on screen while other columns or rows are scrolled into view as required. So in essence the 'frozen' areas become locked down like the interface. Any chance of having something like this ad...

Hi, When I create sets I like to have each track in a certain colour. This makes it easy to create a timed tracklist after a mix is recorded, as the Arrangement view is blocked out into the track colours. I have recently discovered that I can select a range of clips (even if they are in groups) and ...

Hi, I think it would be quite useful if the interface included a user-configurable timer so that those of us mixing live sets can keep tabs on how long we have left, so we use the time well. The timer would start when playback starts, ie when the Play button was pressed or a clip was triggered. The ...

@yur2die4, (how) does this actually work? I have an endless encoder assigned to 'Tempo (Coarse)', with a range of 100-180bpm. If I assign a button to 'Tempo (Fine)' in order to force the current tempo to round to the nearest whole number, when I press that button the tempo jumps to 180bpm. :( Maybe ...
