Re: PDC -- what is it? why has it never bothered me?

For those of you who don't understand why some hit makers say Live sounds bad - this is why. It's not that the actual sound quality is bad, it's how the program handles audio that leads to an end result that is sub par. is this the 'Make Me A Hit Song' button in Live or is it the 'hit maker' not us...

Re: PDC -- what is it? why has it never bothered me?

(X-posted from another thread ) Here is a very silly but straightforward example of the plugin-delay-automation issue. As others have indicated, it's truly insidious in that the "errors" accumulate and depending on how many tweaks you make/how much automation you have, can render your pro...

Re: LIVE 9 : PDC IMPROVED OR NOT ?

Like I've said before, Ableton should consider a Live Pro and charge a premium.

Re: General Mixing Tips for Ableton Live

Totally agree with what's been said about enhancements to the arrangement view, and focus on the studio side of Live. 1. Design. The previous poster is 100% correct. There are too many lines and the eyes wander, some thought in that regard would be nice. 2. The ability to HIDE clips in clip view. So...

Re: Create multisample in Sampler

the answer is: drag the 26 samples into a Sampler. highlight (select) ALL 26 samples in the zone editor. use the cursor to drag the upper and lower limits of the range, so that it's 26 notes long (if all are selected, it will change all samples' zone limits at the same time) and the 26 notes are th...
