Question - How do you program the TF to work with B2? I'm trying to understand how to assign a B2 cell to a pad on the TF. Seems like it would be easy, but I'm having some trouble. Next, I'm using B2 as a Vst plug in with L5 - as I supposed to drop it into a midi channel and then route it to an audi...

Thanks Juno - appreciate the reply. My issue is basically this: imagine the same clip appearing two times in one set (1) as a full length track and (2) as a looped portion of that same full length track. What I want to do is find a quick way to save only the looped section of the clip (as a new clip...

Guys, Let's say I have a full length track as one clip. Then I copy that clip and loop a section of it in the same set. I then want to edit that loop to cut out everything outside my loop. The problem is that when I "edit" the clip, even if I rename and save it elsewhere in WaveLab, Live a...

I use an external drive for backup purposes only. I run from my hard drive.

It's frustrtating when I open a live set and several of the clips are transparent and live asks me if I want to search for them! I never move my clips! I then have to find it and put it into my set and REWARP the whole thing. Anybody else having this shi*ty thing happen to them? Lately my live has b...

Thanks Alex - I don't believe that I changed any of the tags, but it may be possible. Two questions: 1. If I download the beta, does anything happen to my current sets, data? 2. In 5.01, if I copy a clip within the same set and set loop markets in different places, that does not change any tags/meta...

I've searched the forum and can't find exactly what my issue is so here goes: I will open up my live set, say five times, and all of my clips (mp3's) will be already loaded and ready to use. Once in a while, the clips aren't loaded, and each slowly begins to load - this slows my CPU to a standstill ...

Thanks clearscreen - works perfectly! Take care.

I attended the Live clinic in NYC. There, the pro was using the trigger finger. To bang out some drum patterns, all he did was load impulse and then select a factory impulse preset kit. Then he banged on the drums and made a beat while an acapella played in the background. Question: I have the MPD 1...

Thanks Ethios - I'm mainly work with hip hop tracks. Do you know what range of frequencies vocals lie at? That seems like it would be possible, I just don't know if, after filtering those frequencies, the resulting waveform would look different (such that I could then adjust markers)? Any idea?

Disclaimer: I have done a search prior to this post. First, thanks to this forum, I'm learning the program and having a great time beat matching and warping tracks. Great times! I've found that warping and matching instrumentals is fairly easy (thanks to your posts). You you pros have any advice or ...

Thanks - great help fellas - much thanks, the rest is just practice!

Hey pros - I'm relatively new to Live but I've learned a lot by reading this forum and using your suggestions. I'm working on a few blends (mixes) using acapella tracks on top of instruments (mainly hip hop). As a beginner, they suck but Live is legit. :) My problem (among many) is that it never sou...
