HOW TO START????

Post by vintagesoul21 » Fri Jul 14, 2006 12:06 am

I just got Live and it says demos on how to make music, edit, blah blah, but when I click them it just plays a song. I have no idea where to start or what to do first, anyone tell me how this works, or at least where to start??

There are some great books and DVDs out there, too.

A quick forum search should reveal all...

when I click Lesson 1:Making music with live, all the music comes up and that's it. If I press space bar it plays the music, well where is the lesson? There's nothing telling me what's going on or how to do any of this stuff.
So far I don't like it

How do I import an audio track into live? Is there any option for it?

Make sure there's a checkmark in the lessons menu item under the View menu.

Just play around and keep your eyes open.

Suit #2: No, sir, he says he does this sort of thing for fun.

You need to tell us what you want to accomplish. After you do what ILTK advised and you work the tutorials, then to help you better we need to know if you want to compose and if so, with that vsts or included software. If you want to DJ mp3s, we can point you to some good warping tutorials. But do the tutorials first you can be precise enough with your remaining needs to make recieving help an easy process for both us and you. :)

If you'd be more specific - I'd be glad to do your homework for you! For a small tutors fee... :wink:
