I just bought the M-Audio X-session Pro
When I am playing a song (clip) I want to hear a second clip through head phones before it goes to the audience. How do I do it in live?
What is the reason I have to warp my music?
I am new on this. Sorry if it sounds weired.
WARP???
In answer to your questions:
- cue it - look at the manual to see how, but basically you will need a dedicated stereo output (so if your souncard/ has 4 output channels or more you're sweet otherwise your stuffed I think). You need to set it up in Live preferences, in your Audio preferences, set 4 channels out, usually the default is 2 so just enable the 4). Then in Live, you can set your master output to be like 1/2 and your cue output to be 3/4
- warping your tracks is really useful when you want to mix and use Live for DJing basically. A year ago I got Live and didn't know about this warping thing, I let Ableton autowarp the imported tracks and guess the bpm and it was a big mess. When I dj'ed off that, it was much trickier to beat match than on turntables! If you warp your tracks properly (and there are several ways), and use quantize on bar to launch your clips then you don't have to beatmatch, it's done for you. If you don't warp, you have to hope that Live guessed the bpm correctly and then you can use the nudge button to mix your tracks like you would on a turntable but hell this is dodgy especially if you do it at a gig
I have my own favourite way of warping my music but there are several so i won't recommend anything here unless you ask
Good luck
