filling the silence between live sets
filling the silence between live sets
I'm putting together a performance involving several quite complicated Live sets (involving bus groups and consistent midi controller mappings).
I'm painfully aware of the 10 seconds on silence that occurs when Live shuts the current set, and loads the new set.
I was wondering if I could play in a "filler" sound file using quicktime or windows media player to cover the silence while the new set loads, but Ableton seems to grab the audio outputs and refuse to share with any other apps.
any suggestions??
thanks

Is it essential that you have something playing at all times? Why not just embrace the silence or use it to do something more interesting than have an mp3 playing? It really depends on what kind of music you're making and what you want your live show to be like, but in many cases the silence can add to the impact of each track.

The ten second silence is a new feature in live 7. I've played many sets with live 5-6 and loading times were hundred times faster.
Sometimes it takes long as 30sec to open a new project and that is way too long time. And after opening five songs live usually freezes and needs to be re-booted. Very unstable compared to previous versions.
I'm looking some kind of a solution for this. Maybe to put all songs to one project, but that becomes too big. Or quit using Live live.
Maybe I start to play around with Noise.io between songs or play pac man.
