I need to clearly see what clips are playing!

Discuss music production with Ableton Live.

Don't know exactly how you're playing live or what you're using to trigger clips, but some creative use of your gear will probably solve the problem. Maybe it's just a matter of reducing your screen resolution, getting rid of the GUI elements you don't need while playing live.

Also, depending on what controller you're using, you could add a MIDI track with some clips in it that make your controller's visual feedback more useful.

Or, do a Moldover and reduce youre screen res to something tiny, thereby making everything bigger.

+1.

It took me days of rehearsal and practice to remember what every button and knob on 4 MIDI controllers did. It eventually came as second nature.

Fast forward to NAMM 09 and the APC40...

Thank you twats for crapping on my thread, what a bunch of idiots you look like now.

This controller is what I am talking about. This is the visual interface I need.

Dude, that's really offensive to the half dozen people who posted some good advice to you on this thread...
