My issue with my Live2 is my Audio tracks just cutting off on playback after 9-10 bars. The screen shows the recording took but no sound.
@CaidicusProductions Ай бұрын
Oh wow, that is a VERY odd, and very frustrating issue. I can record unlimited bars into the audio tracks, so it makes me wonder what's going on with your live. If you add me to Discord, username is also caidicus (all small letters), perhaps I can help you get it sorted out. I hope you can find a solution.

@CaidicusProductions Ай бұрын
Hey man, unfortunately, I don't know what's causing your issue, so I don't know how to fix it. I would just say to check your outputs in that track's settings. The eye icon at the top right of the track window. The other thing is, make sure you haven't set the pan to be all right or all left, in the track view where you can see what looks like a piano view. Below where your notes are penciled in, there's a bar-graph view that shows volume, but I think there's also a setting for left and right pan in there. I'm sorry I can't offer any more specific instructions than that. I do hope you get it figured out, and thank you for the kind comments about my video.

One thing about the design that is bad is the display / Enter button. Would have been much better with a larger display and just a normal "Enter" button. Not a personal fan of the "wiggly" display idea. The general idear of the instrument is definetly great. of cause some won't like it, some will love it, and some of us would wish they had taken it a bit further with a more serious powerfull processing board to actually reach out to match the posibilities like the Korg Kronos. and provide a larger ammount of cuncurrent sound combis and poliphony. Arturia already have possible one of the best plugin collection available in the V-collection and other plugins. Wether they sound exactly the same as the originals or not is not a real issue to me. Just to have that many classic instrument recreations in a "box" or software collection in a stage keyboard is kinda awsome. Just wish Arturia will take it further with an "Astrolab Titanic" where you just have to connect eg. a Keylab 88 or what you prefere in keybeds to have a full gig setup for all your sounds 😋
@CaidicusProductions Ай бұрын
Well, I suppose one benefit of this keyboard is that any patches you make in V Collection can be exported directly onto your Astrolab. Then, the four knobs you use as macros can be set to modify parameters of the patch according to your liking. I like this synth simply because it's a very straight forward, plug in and play synth. Nice for when I just want to pull up a patch and start playing.

Interesting that it has SPDIF I/O .. One of my audio interfaces has that -- It's just a way of sending digital audio over an RCA cable -- so you can get audio into it to process with its FX without going through extra analog/digital conversion steps, or having to rely on computer connectivity for the same.. I'm thinking about getting this Ti Polar as my first Virus synth..So very tempting; Iridium Core is the same price though, so I'm on the fence. Definitely going for TI1 over 2 , as all that extra power would be wasted on me and most people. It's already 80 voices of Polyphony , 16 voice multi-timbral, which would be hard to have that many simultaneous patches at once in your song, using 80 voices at once ... (Bass, a couple Leads, pads, sound FX , flourishes -- probably wouldn't even use 50 voices for me)

Another thing is I want to use an external Behringer FX2000 effects on AUX and I will return on a stereo Channel. It is possible to also the internal effects be sumed with this external effects? Or when I connect a P10 cable on AUX it will desengage internal effects?

I’ve watched a lot of Review Videos on this instrument and this is one of the best ones I’ve seen. I like your honest approach and it’s very informative. If possible would you possibly do a video that shows how you can record into a DAW with it and utilise the Audio Inputs and USB-C connectivity? I don’t know whether it’s possible to just record the Audio of everything you are doing and effecting coming in via the Audio inputs via USB for instance
@CaidicusProductions 2 ай бұрын
Hey, brotherman. Unfortunately, I don't have a DAW to test this with, as I use an MPC Live in place of a DAW. That said, I don't see why whatever's going into the inputs on the Astrolab wouldn't also come out of any and all outputs of the device, including the USB. You might need to set it in the settings, though you might not need to, either. If you plug the Astrolab into USB, and plug something else into the audio inputs, then hook the USB up to a PC, whatever comes out of the Astrolab should go into whatever DAW you're using, so long as you've set it up to receive on the track you're trying to record into. Should, being the keyword. :P

Thanks for the tips. I'm new to the MPC platform and trying to figure out a workflow that will work for me and help me cut the umbilical to the DAW. Recording longer audio tracks or several passes of the same section is definitely a part of that for me, but I'm starting to see that it's not going to be so easy in the MPC environment. Your video gave me a useful idea, though. I can expand the length of a sequence, jam over that, and then cut it back to the original length at the section that I like best. This definitely helps. One thing, though. You used song mode to make a longer section. Maybe this function didn't exist earlier in the MPC, but there is a function in the sequence menu (accessed via the pencil sign to the right of the sequence name on the main menu) that allows you to simply double the sequence at the press of a button. This doubles any existing audio tracks, too, but you can just record a new longer one after that. It's probably a lot quicker and easier than using the song mode.

@@CaidicusProductions You're welcome! The options for doubling (or halving) the sequence length are accessed via the Home page. As you will know, this page is divided into three sections - for Sequence, Track and Program. There is a pencil on the right hand of the screen for each of these sections. If you tap the pencil for the Sequence section, it brings up a page with different options. the 2x or /2 options are here. They're very quick to use - and very helpful. I hope they save you some time in the future. All the best!

Really appreciate your perspective. I am trying to avoid long learning curves and tech for the sake of tech. I have been using an Arturia controller with my MacBook and Ableton. While this combo is super powerful, I am spending way too much time trying to get a solid baseline understanding of all that stuff. This keyboard with my Roland drum machine and Boss looper is a simpler solution for my use case (live performance).

Regarding the software from Arturia, you should register this is your Arturia account and wait for a sale or deals. Usually you get an extra discount if you own other Arturia gear or software. For example, I have a Minifuse 2 audio interface and some time after I added it to my Arturia account I got an offer to upgrade to analog lab pro for only 29 bucks. And it costs normally 200 or 100 on a sale.

Home audio preamps are ridiculously expensive, and many are not a good match for that power amp. So, all I want is a device to use for playback of music in a home audio system. I have read that the two mic preamps in this mixer are high quality, and that the 3 band EQ is also very good. I am just looking for something to allow me to tweak the sound of the power amp without spending on an overpriced home audio preamp. Is a mixer like this a good solution?

@CaidicusProductions 5 ай бұрын
I would say something that can record, as the EMX-1 can make songs and such, but not as straight forward to actually take it to the MP3 stage, so to speak. I feel like a Roland device would be a great pair. Either an MC-101 to MC-707, depending on your cashflow, or one of their SP 404 MK2. Aside from that, if you have the cash for it, my personal favorite "heart of my setup" device is my Akai MPC Live. It is my all-time favorite groovebox as it integrates so well with absolutely any other gear I pair it with. If cost is a concern, a used Live 1 (there's the Live 2, now) or an MPC One (functionally almost entirely the same) is a good alternative.
