auto quantisize?

Post by garyphelps » Sun May 17, 2009 2:07 pm

ok so when i dj with live 8 i get the track warped and go to launch and its sposed to launch quantisized everytime? because it doesnt....im curious why? if i start both trax over using the scene launch then the work fine and it works fine the next time i launch the clip. however i could get a song or two down the road and same thing happens. as you can imagine it would be pretty frustrating to restart trax thru your set. any thaughts?

a clip can have it's own quantization. so make sure they are set to global, or something usable

yeah i checked that one and all the trax are loaded using the global setting as default. so this is pretty much stopping me from dj;n with live 8....ive been a long time user of live and thgis problem perplexes me.. i noticed it in 7.3 but i never worried about it because i did not have a sound card capable of dj use with live.

Are your start markers all in the same place for your clips? e.g. all at the start of your loops?

yeah I noticed that sometimes when I warped even if I put the 1.1.1 on the first beat of the track, or even counted so I knew it was the one, some of the more complex tracks have like measures of 2/4, 3/4, etc. so after that one breakdown the ones are wrong. I just created a second clip for those trax and used them to fix this problem.

Hi Gary,

At any stage during your mixing are you setting quantize to none?
