Live 7: Bugs with ReMOTE SL?

Post by 14 Zero Zero » Fri Dec 21, 2007 7:50 am

hey folks,

yesterday i bought a remote SL 49 compact from novation.
controller is okay, set-up not too complex, only the endless rotary knobs are a little too slow in response time if you want drastic and fast handling...

but: it looks like the driver and automation software has conflicts with live 7 or vice versa??? while bouncing the master i could notice strange sounds? there are always adigital artifacts in the bounced file... and when the bouncing stops there is a new disturbing "digital clicky sound".

does anybody face similar problems? does anybody have a solution?

cheers and merry x-mas jin

You only get those clicking sounds when you used the Remote? Try the following things:

Turn off Output to the Remote, there are known bugs/drop-outs when outputing lots of Midi data (like the Remote's LCD refresh) to external Midi devices.

Switch the Remote's Midi ports from DirectMusic to MME, the drivers do not support native DirectMusic. To do that click on the little arrow left to the Midi devices on the Midi Preferences page and change Port Type. If you are not using the Novation driver but the Microsoft standard USB Audio Device driver then make sure to use the MME one, not the DirectMusic one (you cannot switch those, but instead you see two for each port).
