Ableton Forum

I love to work with a tablet-pen instead of a mouse: I'm faster, it's more accurate and no muscle problems in my hand when working for hours.

But in Live it's very hard to adjust sliders and knobs with such a pen, especially when the Tablet is in absolute mode (the area of the tablet represents the screen. i.e. touching the tablet at the top right will result in a click on the top right of the screen. In this mode, an application is not able to place the curser to an other position (i.e. over the ok-button of a dialog window)). But even when the graphic tablet is in relative mode - like a regular mouse - the sliders and rotary knobs are very hard to set up because just a little motion of the pen is mapped the the whole range of a fader or knob.

Extreme example: In absolute mode, around 0.5mm are mapped the the whole range of the Interval rotary knob of the Beat Repeat plugin.


system:
powerbook g4 800mhz, OS X 10.4.2
tried with: wacom graphire 2, wacom graphire 3, wacom intuos

Wouldn't be so rough myself , but yes, this would fit better in the general forum.

Cheers to both of you,

yes sorry for being a rude boy..but still..

please move this to 'wishlist forum'

Moved to feature wishes.

Klangfreund, all you need is practice. I've been using an Intuos 8x12 tablet with Live since version 2, and I have no problems whatsoever with it, the resolution is high, and I don't experience huge jumps.
Is your tablet a smaller size than 8x12?
