Is there a way to place comments inside my set?

Post by AlexT » Tue Feb 13, 2007 3:22 am

It would be great to have something like a notepad inside my set in order to remember what I was working on, how the song should be built up when working live, which prodecures sound great et cetera. Any ideas?

I read a great tip somewhere about making your own "Lesson" inside your set that you can make all your own notes to. I haven't done it yet myself but it seems like a fantastic idea, I'll search around and see what I can find again. I know this post isn't an answer but it shows that there is hope. I'll check back soon.

For little notes I often just make markers in Arrange and use the name fields of those.

A freeware VST notes plugin is available on this page:

The lessons tip works for Live 5, but I haven't been able to figure it out for Live 6.

I modified the master lessons file in 6 to contain links to individual set notes but it is such a hassle I don't use it. Shame because I would think this would be really useful/cool. Seems like they changed how lesson paths are handled from 5 to 6.
