transposing clips
hi,
is there way to set this up?
you record the same clip simultaneously on two different tracks, on one of the two tracks you want the clip to be transposed an octave lower so you get two octaves of the same clip. Is there a way to program this so that you don't have to turn the transpose knob or push any buttons (because you're playing live and dont have hands free)
so in other words, that you direct ableton to transpose a clip even before the clip is recorded...
any suggestions?
thx

add another MIDI track and set "MIDI From" to "RecordingHere" and drop a
Pitch(-12) effect and an instrument onto the new track.
You can record this way, or leave the track with no clips on it... Live will
do the routing automatically on playback depending on how you set the
monitoring switch.

Re: transposing clips
Only thing I can think of (and I don't use Live *live*) is to make a template of the initial loading of Live with 2nd track one octave lower via transpose and record that way? Use the template when you need to do this, dunno exactly what you want to achieve without using a controller of sorts set up properly and mapped.

Re: transposing clips
You could use the Looper and set it to play an octave lower after it records, but it won't be timestreched...
otherwise can't think of how to do it automatically hands free....low possibility it could be programmed with Clyphx...

Re: transposing clips
I use a harmonizer on a return track for that kinda stuff. There are a few ways to do it using fx instead of clips. None of them sound great haha

Re: transposing clips
or find a vst like the Quik-Quak Pitchwheel at the kvr database; maybe theres a good free one *shrug*;
something on one of your tracks that will have the audio always pitched down.
