![]() ![]() I am talking about live performance (that might be recorded, too), and with a click in the ear of course To bring electronica and loops together with jazz played on real instruments.Ī couple of line instruments with fx (Piano, double bass, electric bass, electric guitar), a looper (ditto x4), an MPC One (finger drumming, sequencing) and a basic mixer - it’s all there. It seems to be complicated, and I’ll try to make it short. Since I have little experience, I’m back to ask for support, hints and hyperlinks for my plan to newly set up my gear. The disadvantage is its mono, an you cannot monitor it individuallyītw: it’s a good idea to get familiar with both, and see what works for you. The advantage is you can control the gain for each track individually ![]() The disadvantage is you cannot control the individual levels of tracks going into the sub mix.īut you just have a gain (for aux) amount on each track. The advantage of submix is its stereo, and you can also choose to just monitor its output on your headphones… oh and its a nice big control to slide up : ) So by using sub, you could record on your looper one or more of the tracks. If you have main, it will sent to the main mix If you have sub pressed on it, then that tracks output will be sent to the sub mix So on your mixer, each track has 2 buttons sub and main Yes, you could set your looper to be master, and logic as slave - that’s the simplest way at least to get started. Yeah, so your midisport looks great for the midi… Standalone… will require just then a couple of minor changes set the looper to be midi clock master (as you computer is no longer there) then take midi out (rather than thru) of looper into volcaĬould I set the looper to always be the midi clock master? Then when I connected my computer would take that as the master? ![]() I find it hard to work out whether, for instance, my Pocket Piano is sending midi clock data or actual midi notes. as your synth might also want clock for things like sync’d lfos, or get midi sequencing data from your computer) Or get a usb midi hub, that has multiple outputs so it can go directly to both looper and volca (id probably do this esp. What if i have no laptop connected? Could I go But this would mean that the laptop is controlling the clock. you can get a cheap single din one, then go laptop -> usb/midi din -> looper -> (thru) volca So I need to send the midi clock separately, not through the mixer. Midi, the mixers usb is for audio only (mixer acts as a audio interface) it does not handle midi I’m googling aux send but still finding it hard to understand. Though, if you’re happy with mono, then you could aux send. I’m really sorry but I don’t know what this means. Here is a picture of the looper as a plugin.Audio looks good, id probably setup the looper on the sub bus, Mainstage lets you set up your workspace visually, even with the looper. So I built a workspace that includes the four loopers I had decided to implement. I had another look at Mainstage and its looper plugin and found out that it is actually capable of calculating the tempo of the first loop with the Mainstage looper as well. So I started looking for other plugins and DAWs with this functionality again. When Ableton Live 11 came out early this year, I asked again. I reported that to Ableton support months ago for Ableton 10, and they answered that they knew about the bug but it wasn’t a priority for them. ![]() In other words, the crossfade isn’t working correctly. However, when I used the Ableton Live looper with the feature “set & follow song tempo,” the song tempo was set perfectly after closing the first loop but it had clicks and pops at the edges of the loop. The main problem was that most Ableton Live users seem to use the looper with a click. I even bought an Ableton Push 2, which is a great device in its own right. But it was much more complicated to adjust it to my workflow. Ableton Live with its built-in looper looked very promising. But the Mobius looper plugin hasn’t been updated and is no longer supported in macOS Catalina, so I had to look for a new looper. Mainstage combined with the Mobius looper has worked well for me for over 10 years. After that, all time-sensitive plugin effects, like delay, are in time. While recording the first loop and closing it with my foot pedal, Mainstage or Ableton Live calculates the exact tempo of the loop. So I use an intelligent feature that Mainstage has in combination with the Mobius looper or Ableton Live. Instead of playing with a click to give me the perfect timing on the first loop, I use a different method: I don’t like using headphones live. It seems possible that I may be able to play live again soon, so I’m currently working on my new and improved live setup. I spent a year trying to switch from Mainstage to Ableton Live, but I eventually had to give up. ![]()
