reason isnt looping along with live

Post by lowendtheory » Wed Feb 23, 2005 2:40 am

hi,
lets say i have an 8 bar loop (with reason rewired to live). if i hit play, both programs will play their parts. but when it loops, reason no longer plays along with live. this just started happening. it wasn't happening before, so im not sure what i did. im using live 3.0.4 and reason 2.5.
thanx!

did you highlight the "play looped" button in reason ? (on the right top of the sequencer)

Hi lowendtheory,

this is a bug we finally fixed within Live 4.1. So it is still there in Live 3.
Sometimes one loop cycle does not play in Reason depending on the tempo and if you changed the play position within the loop in Live. Sorry for the inconvenience.

regards,
Alex

I dont see a 'play looped' button. Do you mean the 'Loop On/Off' button to the right of the Record button?

I didnt change the play position at any point. I appreciate the apology for the bug, but shouldnt something like this be worked out by version 3? I dont think I should have to purchase another version because of something like this. It should have been corrected in a revision of this version (Live 3.0.5 maybe)

yes, sorry, i haven't opened reason since i bought live :lol:
you should highlight the "enable" button on the left too, in order the tempo not to get crazy

good luck

Well, let's see ...

...

We've learned that this is the behavior of Live 3.

We've learned that it is corrected in Live 4.1.

And now you are asking if there is some other (magical, perhaps?) way of fixing it without upgrading?

I think that about says it all. Reasonable people can reach their own common-sense conclusions.

you sound like a dick. whats reasonable is for a product to work when you purchase it for the price listed. not to have to shell out another $150 or however much to make it work correctly.
