Question about Volume faders using Nano kontrol 2

Post by Niclas » Wed Jul 31, 2013 5:38 pm

Hey, this is my first post, so be nice =)

I have project with many channels and are using a Nano 2 as controller.
But I find a problem when I switching between the faders….

Example
CH1 and CH 9. If I have CH1 in 0dB and want to start fade up CH9 . I drag down the fader and starts to move it up again, No problem. But now when its time to fade down CH1 the fader is on another position then the actual volume so when I try to move it a big jump in dB is hard to avoid.

Is it possible to make the faders have impact first when its hit the actual volume? Or is there any other way to avoid this? Is it the same way with the APC 40?

Tanks!

Live < Preferences < Midi Sync
set the takeover mode to "pickup" and the fader will only become active once you've moved the nanokontrol's fader to the matching position onscreen.

Seems right, but my Kontrol dosent respond and does the jumps anyway. I have restarted Live and so on... Shuld I trash some Prefs or something?

I would make sure that the controller itself isn't trying to manage the banking around, sometimes there is built in features for that kind of stuff which may interfere with how Live handles that..

Okey, nice, do you know how to check that?
