I had to check my user account - I couldn't remember if it was 2 or 3.

Turns out it was 1.5... I guess I've been at this a while.

One time I accidentally rewrote the synth lead to New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle". I played it over and over for maybe an hour going "where the hell have I heard this before?" When I realized, I knew it was too recognizable of a lick to try to make it my own, so I tried to tu...

When I use acapellas I often through in the original song and warp that. Then I add the acapella so it syncs with the original then remove the original. I do the same thing. Here's a quick how-to: Find the first vocal noise in your a cappella, and set 1.1.1 there. Move the start arrow on the origin...

what exactly do you all use them for? Ive never really bothered to use a sample editor within live, most things seem to be possible with just live itself. However ive heard from many people that it can really open things up if you use one...im just not quite sure what i would use it for. Not much, ...

Yeah, I'd be about this too. I always mean to look at my phone or something when I start a set, and always forget. I never have any idea how long I've been playing.

I've even thought about buying a cheap kitchen timer and using that, Throbbing Gristle style...

Amadeus II is pretty great. Cheap, well supported (I've had some weird bugs, which the developer has always been willing to help me with), etc. I used Audacity for a while (some time ago, admittedly), but found that it did everything REALLY slowly.

Moreover, don't buy it if you don't need it. I don't need Operator - I use a couple freeware synths now and then, but I do most of my work with samples - so I've never bought it, and don't intend to. Ableton has so far had a pretty good sense of what features are essential and which are optional. I'...

I can tell you that I have been told that the answer to your last question (can multiple controls be mapped to the same destinations?) is no. I would assume that the answer to 1 is no also, given how Live 5 currently handles GUI manipulation w/r/t controller assignments - but I couldn't say for cert...

Depending on the answer to that, I'll need either a 1-in or 2-in interface.
Sorry... :oops: Didn't read that far.
No big deal :)

Hopefully someone else can help out? This is the part that I'm really clueless about, I'll admit.

5, why on hell would you want to spend two buttons for the same function? :? I'm considering building my own midi controller, and I would be thinking about having both momentary and on/off buttons controlling certain effects, so that I could either turn them on and leave them on, or only have them ...

Midi interface recommendations?

I'm sure this has been gone over before... I'm looking to build my own midi controller, and will need a midi interface for my MacBook. Ideally, something small, as I'd like to try to fit the interface inside the controller's casing so you'd never see it. Also ideally cheap, as the rest of the contro...

Screenshot #2 This one shows the intuitive multiple key and midi assignment functionality. notice how multiple parameters are assigned to the same keys.
