The officiaL Ask about Live 4 doo-dads to prepare for 5

Post by DJ Precious » Mon Jun 06, 2005 5:32 pm

I'm psyched for 5, but damn, there's so much shit I haven't done with 4 it just makes me say, like, DAMN!

For instance, when you drop a loop into the session screen, and that little circular stopwatch graphic starts spinning, on some samples there will be a number - the stopwatch - and another number. What the heck are they for?

Oh gosh darn it, I don't even know how to make a single hit kick drum sample loop in the session view!

FARK!

the numbers show how many beats the clip is and how many times it has looped.

Mannnualll....

It explains it all quite nicely :)

As for single kick, disable the "Loop" button next to the "Warp" button.

or if you wanted it to loop enable warp and loop then set the length to the rate at which you want it to loop.
