quote:OH MAN the MIDI editor is driving me mad. I've been tracking for most of my computer music needs until I recently got Live. I cant even figure out how to program a simple pitch bend up to a specific note or even just up a particular interval. The automation for the pitch bend envelope is conveniently from -8191 to 8191, and the AU I'm using doesn't have an adjustable PB range. I don't seriously have to do math every time I want to program a gliss or whatever, right? (I guess P00-PFF is also math in a tracker, but at least it's doesn't change based on some arbitrary PB range).  Your best bet would probably be to use a synth that has an adjustable portamento/glide time. If your weapon of choice doesn't have that you are pretty much out of luck. edit: or, if you're dealing with samples, use ReViSiT, which is basically IT as a VSTi plugin

I just use my ears for that kind of stuff. I always draw in an exponential curve anyway because it sounds more natural, if it's just a linear point to point glide it sounds weird. : /

Might be a dumb question, but does the VCI-100 work with Ableton for DJing? I've been using Traktor for the past 2 years but I'm looking to start learning Ableton as well

Is there a function in Ableton Live 8 which generates random Midi Notes in the Piano Roll?

You might want to poke around on the djtechtools.com forums. penneydude posted:You could just use an arpeggiator on random mode and somehow press all the keys on your keyboard, ha...

Create a new track, set the MIDI From to the track with the Random MIDI effect on it, and record a clip.

Ignore me if this has been asked before I am using Ableton 8 and i have the simpler but not the sampler(funny to say) Is there some way i can record a track while playing multiple different samples at the same time. Thanks

No. Simpler's limitation is that it only keeps one sample stretched over the keyboard; it can read Sampler patches (in that case it doesn't show a waveform, just a notice). The workaround is to build an Instrument Rack with several Simplers and to use the Instrument Rack's option to limit the number of keys the Simpler plays on. Alternatively, use a different sampler (if you're running Windows, check out ShortCircuit). Alternatively, load each sample up in a Drum Rack where you get a different sample per key.

It sounds like No. 9 wants something that shows meaningful names for the drums, instead of the keyboard in MIDI edit mode, so that you don't have to remember that G#1 = pedal hi hat. Using drum racks is okay if you're playing single sampled hits, but doesn't help you if you're using a full-on drum sampler like Battery.

Though if you're using something like ezdrummer regularly you'll get the hang of it in no time, although ezdrummer and addictive drums use different maps which is really god drat annoying. I can pretty much play drums with addictive drums and a midi keyboard but am hopeless with another map.

Can someone tell me what sort of power adapter the APC40 has? I'm off to Vancouver for vacation in a few weeks, and have found that I can pick one up over there for £120 less than I'd pay here in the UK. Of course, the only obstacle is the voltage difference over here. Is the APC40 one of those helpful devices which allows you to interchange UK/US power leads, or does it have an awkward power transformer thingy on the plug that I'd need to buy a converter for?

So I've been having a hell of a time trying to get tracks to sound good and not warp like a bitch in Live 8. I'd taken to not warping on transients, or switching depending on the track. Lots of tracks still didn't sound super great, and even with what appeared to be razor-sharp custom warping, many of them still didn't keep very good time. On a whim I decided to try "Complex Pro" and see how that worked. 2 hour flawless mix, no additional warping or futzing done. If like me you were having any issues with warping your tracks, give it a shot. This may have been obvious all along, but I never really investigated the different warping methods too closely.

Complex pro is definitely preferable if your CPU can handle it. i've never really noticed that big of a hit between complex and complex pro, honestly. Pro sounds great though -- it gets rid of a lot of the smearing of transients and the occasional digital noise.
