APC 40 FAQs, features and questions

[jcobb00]

The 2th question is about DJ'ing. I don't know at all how it looks in live mixing in Ableton
so I wonder to know is that possible to keep 2 EQ's in 2 other tracks ? You know, just like in others 'pro' mixing systems like tracktor etc. I only know how to control one of the channel using a 3 EQ. I've hope You know what I mean.

i think you can easily achieve this by setting up two bus (return) tracks in ableton.
when doing so make sure you send the audio of all of your tracks as "sends only" in the I-O tab.
additionall, send some of your tracks to bus (return track) A and the others to bus (return track) B by clickng on the S tab

you should then be able to use 2 different eqs on different sets of all of your tracks.

you could also achieve this by grouping tracks together and then placing an eq on each of the grouped tracks

Hey!
Well, thanks guys for propose about a PAD's. I need to think over which one to choose.
BTW: in the other hand indeed It's better to have separate APC and PAD. ;p
That would be without doubt more comfortable and flexible. And looks more crazy at the desk, right? You know, more stuff looks more pr0 hahaha =p
Anyway firstly I need to get my own APC 40 ;]
And tha about this EQ's in Ableton. Well, thanks for tips guys! But if I mark 1 channel with EQ, I can't see EQ at this 2'th channel. Look at this:



Edit: Thanks PhunkBeat for explain I have no more questions, Over!

You need a midi-controller, so you can asign the parameters of the EQ`s for one and two, to the knobs on the midi controller and they are working both at the same time.......

Sorry, maybe this is allready mentioned somewhere else but I couldn't find it right now.

Does anyone now how much the upgrade APC-Live version to Live 8 (suite) is going to cost?
And if so will there be an educational upgrade also?

(I found the Live LE / Live Light upgrade pricing is this the same?)

Thank you.

AFAIK, there is no APC/Live 8 Upgrade Bundle (wish there was) and there is no Educational Upgrade pricing at all

Is there any info on who is qualified for educational price (any study? private schools too? age limit?) and what docs need to be submitted?

That type of info is general for most companies. They almost all have the same requirements.
Replace Adobe for Ableton on the next page and you'll get the idea.

For confirmation from Ableton, you will have to contact them because these things are reviewed individually.
