Is that just in the render to disk option?

Sorry not been able to get to my studio computer for a few days and can't for a few more so can't check Live myself. If I don't know what it is now by the time I get to check I would have forgotten that I wanted to check it out in the first place.. err. ...e.r

Well, the problem with the "53 meg whoosh" is just a symptom of my larger problem: each track (kick, snare, hh, bass, keys, pad, lead, and various additional tracks to sweeten these) takes up a lot of space individually, and when you multiply that space by AT LEAST 7 for a whole mix...

If BLynx is right:

Unlike MP3 files, silence takes the same space as lots of noise on a WAV/AIFF file!

(and I have no reason to assume he's not!) there's no way around this.

So, the alternative is just that I need to bite the bullet and learn to mix in Live! WHICH I was planning to do eventually, since Live's envelope/automation options make me salivate.

Thanks all!

Oh wow a fan!

DOOT!, I love your band, you guys are all geniuses and very handsome also!

Here is how i render single tracks, someone tell me if there is a better way to do it.


1) solo the track i want to render
2) select time i want to render
3) Render to disk
4) Take wav file a drop it in place of the midi file.

Ideally i would just like to right click the midi track and say "Render to wav" and it replaces the midi with a wav file.. Ahhh so much time saved..

Djamp - I haven't tried this but I think that's doable - I think right click on the midi clip, select freeze, and then after that you can convert it to audio using "Flatten" I believe?

Man, you lot must have hard drives vast as the untouched prairies...
