How to crash Live 4.01 in 7 easy steps

Post by gaspode » Wed Aug 25, 2004 5:58 pm

How to crash Live 4.01

1) place a sample in a session slot

2) Increase the sample's bpm value to maximum using *2

3) Set the looping point from 1 - 1.1.2

4) Warp the 1.1.2 marker to be as close to 1 as Live will allow

5) Switch to the Volume envelope

6) Double click on an empty session slot

7) Double click on the Sample you have to view the Volume envelope

8) Congrats... you've crashed live :)

Spent a few hours trying to simplify this, and I hope it is helpful.

I've tested this with different settings

a) if you do not warp the loop, this doesn't happen...

b) if you try to warp after the fact it doesn't work

c) if you get yourself into the proper 'state' to crash, as long as you do not leave the sample in envelope view when you switch and come back, you will not crash.

Hope this helps

This was done on a Windows XP system, don't know what other platforms this will work on, so if anybody else can test this, that'd be awesome.

On second inspection... even if you do not change the 'bpm' value of the sample, it will still crash if you try and go back to it with an envelope view.

Yep,
Killed me twice...

Don't know exactly how one would technically get into that position through normal usage, but...

Thanks gaspode, I will not be doing this in any of my tracks for the foresee-able future..

Cheers,

Well I got into this position through normal usage...

I was trying to create a base line with an automated envelope using a small looped section of audio. I think this can be recreated with similar steps, but at the moment I am now trying to actually continue working on the song and not trip up on this problem... which of course is fun since I've been using some techniques that are causing it to occur... talk about a pain in the butt when you've saved a few clips in this state... ugh.
