Session
In the Session View, Live lets you
compile live sets from any audio clips -- loops, phrases, and entire tracks.
All the clips play in-sync with each other, regardless of the original tempo. You can
"fire off" clips live, using the mouse, assignable computer keys, or MIDI Notes.
Real-time quantization can be used to prevent rhythmical error. Any clip can play at any
time - you are not constrained to a fixed arrangement. Since audio is played directly from
disk, there is space enough even for large live sets.
Recording new clips in the Session View is as easy as playing existing ones: Play a MIDI
note to start the recording; play the note again to jump to playback mode - without any
interruption. This way, you can capture loops or phrases from external sources and
directly work them into your performance, without stopping the music. The real-time
quantization will always give you perfectly cut loops. You can also use Live's own Master
Output as the signal source for recording. This allows you to resample your whole session
while you are playing it. |
