Re: No midi from Mackie Control Universal

Just to state the obvious as I did it once. Midi In on Interface to Midi Out on Mackie Midi Out on Interface to Midi In on Mackie. Those things send a lot of midi data. Can you try and verify if it is sending anything? Maybe try another midi interface and some midi monitoring software. I have one an...

Re: Making digital synthesizers sound more organic

Sure, I have done this before. Send stuff to an amp, send stuff through effects pedals, whatever. It can be fun. However, if I just need to dirty/warm/etc. something fast I will reach for some type of saturation plug. Sometimes I use the Ableton ones, sometimes third party. depends on how dirty I wa...

Re: Best way to make a "VST" of a non-MIDI synth?

Does the synth have CV/Gate inputs? If so you can convert MIDI to that.

The other option is to sample every patch that you intend to use. Probably about a dozen or so notes of each patch.
This can work but it will limit you as you cannot modify the sound.

Re: Multiple MIDI Ins

From the UC-33 manual "Important note: The UC-33 is not a MIDI THRU device and as such, MIDI data received at the UC-33's MIDI IN plug can never be sent directly to the UC-33's MIDI OUT plug. However, if the UC-33 is connected via USB to a computer, data received at the MIDI IN can be transmitt...

Re: Dual monitor setup basic questions

All this depends on the video card itself. You need to find out what make/model it is. It might be built in to the motherboard.

A few different solutions are here. I would make sure the two computers are on the same version of Live and OSX just to be sure.

Re: iRig Pre microphone preamp with Echo Indigo IOx sound card

Awesome I am now much more pleased with the human race knowing that you rigged it.

BTW. You can always just twist the wires together to get a good connection. Sure soldering it helps in conductivity but it is not necessary to do to just get it to work.

Re: 2 screens

Well, you can make the equilateral triangle bigger of course. Are you trying to fit everything on a desk I suppose. If so then get some speaker stands/wall mounts.

Re: Midi Mapping Question

For effects - Put effect in effect rack and map macros out. Name it and save. Drag out of library when needed For Instruments - same thing but use an Instrument Rack. The issue is only eight macros but you might be able to get around this by putting a rack within a rack. Yo dawg I heard you like rac...

Most of the time synth porn videos have a pretty boring soundtrack.

Not this time! Great song and video!

Re: FCB1010 users

Are you sending note on info with the FCB1010 presets? It doesn't come preprogrammed like that but it makes it much easier to map things with. Bascially each preset inside the FCB1010 will send a different midi note when pressed.

Re: Looking for a good guitar sound in Live lite

Yeah, it can be used but it will not sound like what you are used too. They have an amp effect that is ok but I tend to find that the only way to get close is to use a dedicated amp simulator like NI Guitar Rig, Amplitude, etc.
