anyway, CMuzys is very cheap, easy to use, has a great automation system, and is good for audio. great docs and support on the CM/FM forums

Cheers Jens.
Cheers!
But presumably I'd need to do the sequencing within eXT? Or could I do that in Live itself, too?
Cheers

"The rest is gravy" refers to money. Once your overhead/cost price is covered, anything beyond that is your profit. The gravy.

Cheers Jens. I liked the notion of "expand your host" that eXT advertising led with a few months back, and I think that within Live 4 eXT has some quite obvious uses (a bit like Racks in Tracktion imo) such as multi-out VSTs, layering synths, the arpeggiator, etc. And perhaps the freeze toojens wrote: sure - you'd need to do the sequencing in eXT!
. ...but I'll have to learn how to sequence stuff in eXT first, as that aspect of eXT is still a bit of a mystery to me

If you're going to sequence in eXT, there's no real reason to fire up Live.

Hmmm, I was wondering that, too . And unlike some people (because we all work differently, I know!) I actually like the Ableton MIDI sequencing paradigm.
Strangely (and let's face it, I'm fairly weird!) I like the whole loop paradigm better for MIDI stuff (i.e. as a composing tool, dealing with sections rather than the whole piece in one go!) rather than audio. I'm sure that most Ableton users get a musical high out of loading up some audio loops and mixing a track. Personally I find that I lose interest very quickly in that
but I love sequencing (for example) drum loops of my own 
.
I really don't know that I would enjoy doing the sequencing in eXT, although I would obviously give it a go. FOr the other stuff - i.e. creating a modular environment in Live - I'm thinking that eXT is an extreemly useful tool (although I rather suspect that Live 5 may make eXT somewhat less essential )
Cheers

you could sequence the midi-stuff in eXT and the audio-stuff in Live - best of both worlds perhaps...Lunch Money wrote:If you're going to sequence in eXT, there's no real reason to fire up Live.

Yeah, I saw where you were coming from with that. Just not sure that eXT would be the "best" for the MIDI sequencing in terms of my own personal musical approach.jens wrote:you could sequence the midi-stuff in eXT and the audio-stuff in Live - best of both worlds perhaps...Lunch Money wrote:If you're going to sequence in eXT, there's no real reason to fire up Live.
But I'll have to give this a go just to see
