I'm wondering if it's worth starting a track in Live 8 using session view then hooking up and rewiring to logic for further work. I'm not sure if it would take more time setting this up so that I have control over lives effects (if needed) from automation than it would just getting on in the arrange view. Arrange isn't too bad, I just find logic more powerful from the traditional standpoint. edit: having said that, i don't have any internal live synths, i use absynth and reason. So I figure it wouldn't be too much of a ball ache after all. hmm.

sofullofhate posted:Yeah, it works perfectly on the APC40. The rest of the transport buttons on the MPK49 work also, but it's apparently a known issue with the MPK series that their Tap Tempo buttons don't integrate with Ableton. loving annoying. I'm going to write Akai and ask that they sort that stupid crap out. na, not straight off. but it does if you sync ableton to follow the keyboards tempo. but that's faff. I also not keen on the pads. It's an alright controller but I may upgrade to a novation one at some point. but then I don't really like automap that much either, or what i've used of it thus far. Hmmmm. Or I might just get a cheap simple 88 key thing to the left of me and have an MPD and a APC40 in front of me where my keyboard currently resides.

sofullofhate posted:It's heavier than it looks. Metal frame &c; "ultra-portable" isn't a phrase I'd apply liberally. I'm going to build a hard case for it and the APC; suspect it'll weigh around 50lbs loaded. Here's my settings, with it currently syncing to the keyboard with tap working (well, it works but you can't tap to set it off. so it's not ideal) Pretty sure I don't have anything extra set on the keyboard either.  Click here for the full 651x692 image. I've also just plumped for the sensitivity kit enhancer on ebay. I figured I may as well give it a go, as I don't use the pads often given how hard I have to hit them and the noise it makes on the desk I can't hear the goddamn drums properly anyway.

sofullofhate posted:Tried this with no success. At least the arpeggiator is slaved to Ableton's clock, though, and I can use the APC's Tap Tempo button. Is your MPK midi clock set to internal? are you on 1.05 software revision? That's the only other difference I can really think of. Also the Tap tempo from the MPK doesn't output a midi signal, I don't think, which is why Live won't recognise it as a button. Stupid, if you ask me. Hopefully my sensitivity kit will be fit within the week, depending on international delivery. Though according to forums you can do it just as well with tape. But meh, I like bespoke stuff.

I also bought the book. It is awesome. Even though I felt like I knew what I was doing, i'm discovering new things and ideas through it. The guy who wrote it's daily tips are also great.

And i just installed it. I like it, I prefer the feel of the pads - more resistance and they trigger when I expect them to, so I dont have to hit them as hard. Hurrah.

If you or anyone else get that running feel free to post a step by step howto so I can feel like a complete idiot for missing something obvious. You've got OSCulator installed I take it? (if you're on a mac) works fine for me.

In a more serious note, I've been setting up Live lately to be a basic DJ setup, as close to real decks as possible, to use with the APC 40. So far I have 3 tracks, 2 decks and a 'crate' group which expands open using midiStroke to map to a button. I have buttons for cue and loop points, and some basic effects. Also a 3 band EQ based on the one at 365 live tips. Having never been a DJ and learning this way, given I cannot afford decks on a whim, are there any 'typical' DJ effects, techniques, that sort of thing I can work in? I shall post the .als if anybody wants it to to play about with.
