Transfering a LOGIC session into ableton live

[stoersignal]

If you're playing live you don't want plugins running anyway. In fact it's a whole different ball game. You just want about 6 audio tracks chopped up in session view probably. There's a thread on that at the moment here
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=186618

that's not really live playing then

exactly. this way its more a a dj set than a live performance

I'll be back

Thanks for all the answers, I've got it to work with some tweaks and follow actions stuff.
One thing though, I don't understand why ableton when i drop and drag my midi file doesn't create the embedded metric/time signature information.

i've checked the file in other app to confirm that the information is there...

is this that ableton doesn't have this function or do i miss out ?

To get the timing information from your MIDI file be sure you are in the "Arraingement View" when you import your MIDI file. It's easy to move what you want to Session view after if that's what you want.

I've done that but ableton doesn't import any metric changes in the timeline its all 4/4 ...

Keep in mind that Live converts each imported midi track to a clip. So multiple tempo/signature changes are ignored because clips can only have a single tempo/signature. Btw, for the same reason multiple program changes are ignored too.

Arh, OK that make sense,
Thanks !

....only difference between a dj and a live set is......you play tracks from others....or you play only your own...

no one gives a shit if you tweak a soft synth live, or just run audio clips.....

there's nothing really "live" if you're on stage with live.....so or so....

if you're playing once in a while, you can try to do that with open sessions full with instruments....
if you're a pro and you play every night, you better don't take that risk.....
and if there's no way around to tweak....work with ableton instruments only.....leave your fingers from vst and co on stage if you really run a showcase on proffessional daily bases.....

and get focussed on your performance......kill the email reading "performer" and always remember you're working in showbiz.....

It says it can import/export OMF and lists Logic there. I don't use Logic myself, so can't comment more on that. They also offer to convert one project for free as a test.

Hi
fantastic, it also shows that its not that easy to move cross platform, i thought/hoped it was drop and drag, but alas

I imagine you can create your midi clips in Live, and route them to Logic's channels.

Nope. It would require that Logic runs as rewire slave which is not possible.

Not true if you want to use Logic as a plugin host without utilizing its sequencer. You can definitely trigger Logic tracks from Live midi clips, but you'd have to match Logic's tempo to Live's manually.
