Using Arrangement View for gigs.

Post by Griff » Fri Nov 06, 2009 2:30 am

Is it possible to use the Arrangement view for live shows and be able to have a set of 8 songs flowing non stop? I use Session view for my D&B sets, but for the other band I'm in I use Arrangement view so I can follow it with my bass playing. Any ideas??

Nope not at all.......Ok I'm lying yes of course it's possible.

Just drag and drop. From session to arrangement , from a different project folder to the arrangement. From Itunes to the arrangement, from where ever but chances are you'll drag and drop.

Hope that helps.

Yeah You can draw in Automation on the Master Channel in arrangement. But you probably already new that.

as you can see that the locators just shifts playback, meaning that you can make a full set with as many songs as you can count to, then simply set locators for the songs, juggle routines or whatever you want. you can then override anything that your arrangement is playing back at any time by tweaking stuff, and/or launching scenes/clips in the session view then instantly drop back to the arrangement at any given time

yes you can do do this, def the better option if you are doing live instrumentation, you can also set launch markers on the start of songs in the arrangement view and map the launch to your midi controller if you want to switch up the tune
