Drumming question (Dilla style & Grid) + Session view...
In Live 6, how do I change the grid in Impulse. Might be a noob question but it´s just recently I´ve found out how great Live is.
Also how do I make those J Dilla style drums? When I had an MPC I could just change the swing, but it seems a bit difficult in Live. Hip Hop heads out there know what I mean...
And finally, is there a way I can just plug my clips into the session view instead of recording my clips "Live"?

I think the function you're looking for is outlined in chapter 26.16 in the Live 6 manual. Basically it's ctrl+1,2,3,4 to change it up.octo wrote:In Live 6, how do I change the grid in Impulse. Might be a noob question but it´s just recently I´ve found out how great Live is.
Top left corner, next to the time signature numerator. It's a little number box showing the percentage of swing. Also, for each clip, in clip view, you can select either 16th or 8th note swingocto wrote: Also how do I make those J Dilla style drums?

Again, I'm not quite certain what you mean, but double clicking in an empty clip slot creates an empty 1 bar midi clip, ready to loop.octo wrote: And finally, is there a way I can just plug my clips into the session view instead of recording my clips "Live"?

is it possible to create longer than 1 bar empty clips the fast way like double klicking?Machinate wrote:Again, I'm not quite certain what you mean, but double clicking in an empty clip slot creates an empty 1 bar midi clip, ready to loop.

Re: Drumming question (Dilla style & Grid) + Session view...
That's one of the biggest flaws in Live. MPC swing is not quantized to be 16th or 8th. That's why it's so groovy. There's a huge difference in quantized and non-quantized swing. In logic you can import MPC groovefiles and use those as a quantize templates. In Live there is no such possibility.Machinate wrote:Top left corner, next to the time signature numerator.

To re-create the groove by trying to copy the hit's, you need to go at least 128 or higher grid.
