Cross fading scenes in Live?

[danoworks]

Is it possible to cross fade scenes in live? I have a live set that I built that contains 10 songs so I can load up a whole hours worth of music. The problem is I have yet to figure out how to make a nice cross fade transition between the different songs. I'll have 8 tracks playing and all I can do is jump down and activate the first scene of the next song. Is there a way to set up a cross fade between scenes? Or is that a feature wish for Live 9?
Any work around ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

One other note...
The songs in the file have different bpm. I tried setting up a couple of tracks to transition. the last scene of song A I captured in track 9 as a loop and set the cross fader to A and had launch scen bpm at 96 like that of song A. The first scene of song B I recorded to track 10 and set the launch scene for 65 bpm like the rest of song B and set the cross fader to B. The problem I had was when cross fading from A to B even though B was set for 65 bpm it cross faded with the 96 bpm starting song B with song A's tempo...

Crossfading scenes. really cool idea! seems like it be hard to implement though.

Id say a workaround is to make 2 copies of your tracks and put ach track set in a group. Then set your crossfader to fade between groups.

You could also probably set up some trickery with the Looper in a dry wet style rack. Then before you want to switch your next scene, record the current one - fire the next scene - then crossfade between the two chains in the looper rack.

Gonna try this out...again, really dig the idea!

I got a question! Can Live work with mulitiple instances? If so then you could output the audio in one set to it's own outs. Not sure if it would work though.

In order to crossfade to a different tempo, I generally run a looper on the master with a crossfade inside a rack. I record a loop, fade over to it, launch my new tempo, then crossfade back. Works really well.

I'm searching for a way to crossfade between scenes too. Ideally, launching a new scene would initiate a crossfade (of a user-defined duration) from the previous scene. I see this thread is several years old. Is there a way to this in the current version of Live? The material I'm working with is primarily ambient/soundscape so tempo is not an issue.

Thanks!

I'm trialling different ways of doing this at the moment. The first thing I tried is sending controller information out of Live (IAC bus Track out) from a midi track & using it to control the track volumes on audio groups (IAC bus Remote Control in). Seems to work!

Haven't done a search on the forum yet either, might be a neater solution out there.

Edit 1: I think that was my first ever post after nearly 8 years on this forum.. woah

Edit 2: I was forgetting Dummy Clips. They can do nearly anything
