What digital mixers/control surfaces will work with Live 4

Post by 4amStudios » Thu Mar 17, 2005 6:17 am

Besides the Beringer piece. I was thinking the Mackie Universal . Then you have the Radikal (I so miss mine).

I have an old Peavey StudioMix that was originally only supposed to work with Cubase. AFAIK, if a controller sends midi, it will work well in Live. Just map your controls in Live and save as a template. Worked beautifully for me! If it'll work with the StudioMix, I figure anything will work.

why can't you use your yamaha 01x.
computer (small), musical instruments (many), cables(multicoloured), monitors (two, loud).

They don't function as regular midi devices?

I wonder if the Tascam FW-1884 will work ? As well as the Yamaha DM-2000 digital mixer . I gave up Logic for Live and need solution for multitrack mixing with faders , pan control etc.

4am, being originally from Hattiesburg myself, I was curious as to what kind of music you're making with Live down there in Jackson?

I'm fortunate enough to be doing music for my job. I'm a hip hop artist that both makes beats and rhymes, and I use reason and live almost exclusively. I'm having to chill on the touring for now though--wifey is due to drop a little one any minute now!!

I'll check you out for sure. I'm always down for checking out how other cats are using Live to do their thing!

I dig your site, btw. very nice!
peace,

The 01x basically functions on Mackie Control so aside from a few transport functions, it is useless with Live 4. This would be the ultimate setup if I could use my 01x with Live. I hope the Abe's are listening as alot of people are requesting this feature.
