I mix all my sh!t in tools, but never bother rendering Lives tracks to mono before importing it all. If the panning and automation is already done in Live and sounding how you want, then you should keep it hat way! Just import the separate stereo tracks with all that automation left on. If your mix ...

could you explain this a little more?

Do you mean that changes in automated tempo
only have effect every 16th note?

Getting it stable on you mac or PC don't mean that it's actually any good. Even if it wasn't buggy, and didn't drop out from time to time it's still a sh!t sound card. Too many features at a low price point. A sacrifice of quality for features. The other problem I incounted when using these was if y...

I've had this also.. happens really randomly. If i remember right it was only the keyboard short cuts that didn't work. Using the main menu to paste etc still worked.

Last time it happened for me was using version 7. Not yet had it on 7.02.

(Also on macbook (pro), 2gb RAM)

I would avoid the 410 completely!! In my experience: the software is buggy, the pre amps are totally sh!t and I've never been able to get it working perfectly on either macs or pcs. If your just starting out there must be loads more simple and better reviewed sound-cards out there. Unless you need a...

I dont think this is soundcard related as a wrong setting there would create a consistant problem, not just when leaving live unused for a while. I get the same stuttering problem when using live for a long time, its seems toatally random and quiting live and reopening the session seems to resolve i...

I had the same thing when first installing n.i electrik piano.

I could only use the AU version @ first. To solve it I think I dragged the electrik piano vst file out of the vst folder, opened live, dragged the file back in and then used the "rescan" in Lives preferences.

Hope that helps.

Just warp the clip/audio file as normal.
Placing the markers exactly on the right beats
then switch the clip to be master.

Live will now follow the tempo changes contained
within that clip. All extra MIDI or audio parts will
follow that tempo/groove.

If you mean the pad is masking the sub, as in you cant hear it because the pad contains to much low energy, then just use an EQ to roll off or cut away the/some low frequency from the pad sound. This makes (frequency) space for bass parts etc..

Hope that helps.

this is something I've been thinking about lots recently. Its taken me an age to work out the importance of understanding the genre your writing in. I know that seems really obvious but it can be over looked. I would study some other artist that work in your genre and make notes on how they arrange....

I have the same thing... also using live 7 and a macbook pro.

Live saves and appears to quit, but then the "application unexpectedly quit" window comes up saying that Live has quit/crashed!

Yeah the thinning out of automation is where the problem occurs. Thats what I meant by 'quantization'.. it was just the word I used to explain what was happening. and i agree it does appear to be more aggressive in 7. I'll try and see if I can recreate the problem with devices other than Autofilter....

must be a mac based bug then.

are you mac or pc?

and are you using a midi controller
to record in automation to the arrangment
view?

cheers

are you on a mac or pc?

and did u use a external midi controller
to record in automation over an audio clip
in the arrangment view?

thanks
