!!!!!!!!!

[RDR]

depends on how accurate your midi interface is... you can introduce track delay with live 5, this is designed to cope with out of order deivces.

Dont know about the other one, i dont use ableton to sequence other than sequencing live, sketching out ideas etc...

[stjohn]

i have a delay to sync audio with my drum machine, but when i record down the delay is showing as a gap at the start of each recording. hmmmmmm.

[findthesolution]

any recording or sampling I do is handled by logic express, then I just bounce the audio down as loops and let Ableton's warp function do the work, or I'll just render it as a one-shot.

[stjohn]

all is well now!! :)
thanks for the replies........

more questions soon:)

[stjohn]

back to the questions....thanks alot for your help so far.

so how do i avail of multiple outs, with the likes of battery etc???

[stjohn]

is there a process for aranging bits of audio??? say a 1/4 bit from track 1, 1/16 from track 2....... 1/16 from track 3, and finshing with another 1/4.........all to make one loop. hmmmmmmmm?

[auditory hallucinations]

yes there is, you can do just that - check out the follow actions as they're called

set an audio channel's inputs to battery's channel. then in the dropdown beneath it and select the respected outputs that you wish to use in Battery 2. Make sure the audio track is armed to record, or else you wont hear shite.

[stjohn]

nice one lads..........those follow actions look cool!!

Make sure the audio track is armed to record, or else you wont hear shite.

Or just set the track's Monitor section to IN
That way you don't have to arm it.

didnt know that, thanks!

Also, if you are recording, keep it on Auto, that way you hear what is being recorded as it's being recorded, but if you press play on a clip on that track, it will play the clip's audio instead of monitoring the input.

[stjohn]

great tips nice 1...........

another question, say i have a track laid out with full automation and i jump back to mess in the Session view; the track automation are disabled (the dot goes from red to grey). how do i re-enable these when i want to play it all back???

[xfive]

Click the big red button that has black lines in it at the top near the transport controls.

[stjohn]

good man thanks, its all the small things innit :)

what about lopping a section in the arrangement view...i havnt got that yet :| it just keeps playing

sorry for all the Qs, ive been trying i swear!!!!

[xfive]

It's all good ;)

theres a little loop button up top right when its clicked green the arrangement will loop the part within the loop selectors

[stjohn]

legend...thanks man!!!

[stjohn]

back for the weekly dosage if ableton questions, i dont know if this one will be as obvious!!!

when ive mapped the Keys to trigger loops, only some of them will work... something like the 1st channel, 4th and 6th. weird!!
anyone experience anything similar or know how to fix this??

thanks
