prom candy posted:I just got my M-Audio Axiom 49 as an upgrade from my Oxygen8 in the mail today. Does anyone know where I can download Live templates that make good use of it. Failing that, anyone want to just make recommendations on how to get the most out of a decent MIDI controller? Usually I just assign knobs and stuff as I go, but I feel like I'm missing something because it seems like people have much more advanced uses for their controllers and don't have to spend a ton of time on each new project setting them up. It's easy as hell - you just go up in the top right and click the little midi button, click the one you want to assign, and move the slider around. I'm doing this out of my head without the program in front of me so there might be a step I'm missing but it's seriously like 1 - 2 step process to assign anything to any control. I usually assign stuff as I need it so I don't waste all my controllers on "Aftertouch Panning" or something I will never use.

OMGWTFAOLBBQ posted:You didn't understand his question. I definitely do understand the question, but my answer is that I think templates assign alot of useless poo poo so I just assign everything myself and choose not to use templates. This goes for all the programs I use - I used them at first but I quickly got sick of changing 90% of the defaults anyhow. edit: this doesn't make me "correct" it's just how I choose to use the software THNDRTHF fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Aug 5, 2009 |

h_double posted:See, I never thought of it in that way. That's a dope use for templates, and I could see using it almost like project macros where you just load up the "drums for making breakbeats" project, or something. But I also make the devil's music that's usually a James Brown break with a sped up Billy Holiday sample over it and sell it for half a mil so what do I know.

h_double posted:Check out Live's builtin Beat Repeat effect; it is pretty powerful although I found it a little confusing at first so you might want to go look up some tutorials on youtube or something. These are both ill. If you want it tripped out you might also appreciate Supertrigga, but it is less controllable. Some of the reverse and beat repeat functions yield dope results, especially if you let the loop play, record the output and just use the especially interesting bits.

Plavski posted:This might be a simple problem but I've never encountered it before: I'm trying to freeze a track with a vst effect on it and it keeps setting the automation to zero. My clip has automation in it and I thought freeze was supposed to keep all the automation intact? I think once you record, or write the automation to it you have to disable recording but still allow reading for that particular sub-track (I might be thinking of Cubase however). Can you see the envelope and confirm it is in fact receiving your automation data and storing it? You might also try manually drawing in an automation point at the beginning and end that will denote that everything in b/w is automated. Sometimes programs need to bump into a point before it starts picking up on the automation. Both of these solutions are pulled out of my rear end and will need to be verified when I'm not sneaking on here between emails at work

Apparently Glitch is aptly named.

Yeah man, it runs sooo much cleaner I can tell there's a huge performance tune-up as well... I got some tutorial DVDs as well from my bro that I'm gonna watch, but holy poo poo. This, coupled with NI Komplete is absolutely revolutionizing my workflow right now, once I get the MV-8800 in the mix with the EPS and the MC-909 my poo poo is gonna be poppin. I got a few of those stickers left if you want any for old times sake.
