Living Live on the edge

[sureno]

so im about to move over to live 8 and take a break from logic to see if iv been missing anything, currently demoing it so have a few questions?

on a mac

what is the short cut for record?

how do i midi learn transport function? stop, play and record?

also is there any very basic tutorials for live 8

[tehlord]

Live has tutorials built in I think

[sureno]

iv sorted it, managed to sync all my controllers up now, just getting used to how record works but its all another very steep learning curve

I don't imagine anyone could use Live as their primary DAW, it seems more like a cool accompaniment to other tools, a composition tool, a performance tool, but not a full production tool, if that makes sense.

I've had 8 around here for a few months now and still haven't gotten into it. I think part of me is waiting for the Max/MSP implementation as I want to screw around with that. I also want Collision but am unwilling to pay for it at the moment - it's a far better value for me to upgrade to the full Live Suite.

Let me know how you get on with it, and convince me not to sell my copy.

i want to get the live 8 suite upgrade version, i cant believe you T3 has live 8 the electronic producers dream DAW

your new theme tune


i have been convinced this can be used as a primary DAW, i can see the potential, i can imagine mixing a little tricky but if worse comes to the worse i will compose in live and bounce into logic or tools, more likely logic though

Well, if I'm honest I got it cheap (like many DAWs I have) and I thought it would be worth the experiment. As I get some hilarious writers' block episodes when trying to compose, I thought that having a different way of working would be helpful. I have yet to confirm/deny that this actually is doing me any good.

I still don't think it can be a primary DAW. Not for me, of course, and I'm speaking solely of music creation (obviously this is not a post tool, for example). If you need an A1 prime example of why it's "not quite there" try to create a mono track, and get back to me.

That said, the reason I didn't mention it is that I did not want to have a bunch of people asking me questions that I just can't answer (and that's still the case!) - it's all installed, I even have Operator and Analog, but my experience is highly limited, so your queries are best directed elsewhere.

im currently REALLY getting into Live, its soooo naughty, it really is a different way of working, definitely fresh but definitely requires a brain reformat

Have it both installed on OSX and Windows.

On OSX its barely used because of Logic

On Windows its used it all the time because of no Logic

so you prefer logic?
