that's true it does, but I'd hate to have to go from a full version to a lite version, and it probably couldn't even open most of my current projects so I doubt I'll even bother with it

The studio I'm at right now has the waves gold plugin pack, but it's kind of a pain in the rear end to manage in Live. It installed the Waveshell.dll file to the plugin folder, and to use any of them I have to open the waveshell in the plugin window, then scroll wayyyyy the gently caress down to get to my beloved RComp. Is there a way I can set some of my favorite plugins as favorites so I dont have to scroll through this bitch of a list?

I think there's not really a way unless you call a folder _fav or something and then move the DLLs to that place, but god help you if that's not the original folder it was installed in and the plugin is being a bitch about it. Another stupid workaround: create a disabled audio track, dump all your "favorites" on it, and every time you need one you copy + paste it to the track you need it on.

Also a public beta for Max4Live and a release date/price. It comes out November 23rd and will be $300. In other words I spend $300 to turn my APC into a monome and then I get all the max stuff on top of that. Good deal 8)

Good deal 8) I'm honestly not that impressed with the integration currently. It's very cool to have Max inside Live, but it feels really unpolished and not like something that should cost me $300. It's like an early beta rather than the near-complete product. nah thanks fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Nov 5, 2009 |

So I'm recording a song at 150bpm so I can hear the click more, and I'm trying to bring in drums from addictive drums. Thing is, I want the drums to play at half speed because it's BLAZIN fast and doesn't suit the song at all. What's the easiest way to bring in the drums? I can't seem to find any tempo adjustments in addictive drums other than the sync button, and if I try to drag in the preset and click yes to the 'tempo sync' dialogue that comes up, the audio just gets really glitchy.

Thing is, I want the drums to play at half speed because it's BLAZIN fast and doesn't suit the song at all. By "hear the click more" I assume you mean more frequently, smaller subdivisions. It sounds to me like you're doing a slower song, 75BPM and you don't want the click to be that slow so you doubled the tempo. Is that right? There may be a better way, but can you just make your own metronome? Make a new midi track, keep your tempo map at what you want the drums to be and just have another loop hitting 8th notes at 150bpm (and of course pick a fun sound like COWBELL) and then get rid of the track later.

Exactly what I meant. If I do that now, it will slow down all my guitar parts though correct?

If I wanted to take a note, and pitch bend it up over the time of like 24 beats...how can I do that? Is there any way to do this without using a pitch wheel off a synth and just slowly pushing it?

Lewk posted:Is suite really worth it though? I have logic studio and reason. Not sure if I really need yet more sound making devices. hmm. I've been debating this myself, and I think the answer for me is a tentative yes. Right now I mostly use Reason as a Rewire slave because I have a lot of refills and sound libraries that I use for things like cello tracks or piano accompaniments. But the thing about Reason is that it sucks. Or, if it doesn't suck, it at least hasn't kept up with the times e.g., the non-resizeable graphics, the weird sequencer, etc. I mean, it sounds great with enough effects, but I find it more and more of a hassle to work with than anything else, perhaps as a result of having been spoiled by Ableton's slick and thoughtful workflow. So, yeah, for $200, I may as well get it. Tensioner alone looks pretty interesting.

And now for my own question: Is there any way I could use Logic Pro's effects in Ableton? I don't see them show up in my browser, but I may not be checking the right folders for them.

Mandals posted:And now for my own question: I think logics synths and effects are locked in to logic only. Kinda makes sense commercially. You could export the audio and whack it into logic then bounce it out again. Or possibly run ableton as a rewire slave to logic though i've never done this myself. Generally I mix all my stuff in logic anyway.

Check out the Live Lesson on automation, you can do all kinds of great stuff with it.

I bought a launchpad on a payday whim and I have to say I think I'm kinda underwhelmed with it. Its pretty as gently caress but it doesent really do much I couldnt already have done fairly efficiently with keyboard shortcuts. Less efficiently even having to jump to a new page to adjust an effect/mixer level rather than just dragging the knob in Ableton.

Ok, here's one. So I want to do a rhythmic displacement thing, where you have say a piano riff going on it's own, then the drums kick in, but beat one is not where the ear has established it to be with the piano playing on it's own. Thus creating a weird but cool groove thing. In a trad sequencer I would simply do this by chopping up the midi region, getting rid of certain bit, then playing it, and in kicks the beat. I can do it the same way in the arrange page. But i'd like to get the clips just to do it automatically. Is there a way to have, for example, a bar and a half, play the first half bar then loop round the whole bar, as if that beat (say 3) is actually beat 1? I wish that made sense. I've got a 1st class degree in music majoring in bloody composition and music technology and I can't for the life of me explain what I mean properly! Perhaps it's time for bed.

I thought about this but I'm still considering it so that I can set the laptop aside and half closed and not look at it during a song.

Oh, neat, I get a free upgrade to "Live Intro" from LE 7. And... still only 12 effects per project. Guys, you are killing me on this poo poo. This is my only beef with not being able to afford the full version of Live, 12 effects is just not enough.

Lewk posted:Ok, here's one. Not sure if this is what you're talking about but in a midi clip there's the brackets for the beginning and end of the loop, then also flags for the where the clip starts, and you can drag the beginning one a bar and a half before the loop starts, or just have it start halfway through the loop or w/e.

Yeah, i've been playing with these. But for some reason it doesn't work quite right. I'm going to have another go now and see what happens. Yeah, I just cant seem to get it right. I don't know if it's me or ableton. iv'e tried loads of cominations but live always seems to start the drums on the beat I want the brain to think it's on, but it's not actually there. So I have a 2 bar loop. The first note, on the loops beat one, is what I want the brain to hear. But I don't want the kick to start on this. The actual note I want as the real beat one is actually beat 1.3.2. I'd like the loop to play as it is now, but when i set the kick to go off, it actually hits on beat 1.3.2. Or set 1.3.2 to be beat one. I've messed with the clip loop and start points but the kick always seems to fall on the beat I don't want it to.

Moving the kick waveform might be a way around it, but ideally I want the kick to be on the actual timeline beats of 1-2-3-4 because the kick is the 'true' beat. The ostinato previous to that is an illusion, to make you think the first note is beat 1, but it could be any beat, the kick displaces it into proper time.

For APC dudes, it looks like there was a monome included in the M4L beta. I'm gonna try this in about an hour, but I thought you guys might wanna know. http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=128316&hilit=monome+apc
