Dan, it sounds interesting. May be I haven´t discovered all capabilities in Live for guitarist, coul you clarify more in deep this kind of tasks ?.For example - I can record a 24 bar improv into Live, "cut it up" into numerous bar patterns (both on and off the original beat) and audtion and rearrange into something completely new. It would be 10x more difficult in a more linear host like Cubase (just for example.)

this is simple in live ..just use split, consolidate, and moving between arrangement and session view.... my tip: work through the tutorials supplied with live..music55 wrote:dgkenney wrote:

I see...but I am doing the same in tracktion; split some chord progressions clip, change the playing order of the new clips and looping some clips/sections, so, what is really different in LIVE that make it more easy????

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you but I was away all week and just got back to my computer.music55 wrote:

What I do is something like this. Over some rhythm bed I'll improv some guitar lines...letting the recording run as long as I like in one clip of the session view. Then I go back and identify areas I think have promise. Using the "clip bar" I identify a clip of say 2 or 4 bars. Then I copy that entire clip to the next clip and using the up arrow, move the clip marker along to find some other interesting runs. I do this until I have 6 or 8 (or more)clips identified from the original take.
Then I start playing with launching them in different orders as the rhythm bed plays. Don't forget the possible use of the "Legato" setting so you can wander in and out of clips at place other than the begining. It's all trial and error but you can get some wonderful riffs going through this method. Also, you can use the warp and downbeat marker to really rearrange the timing. When you find something you like record the clips in the arrange window and "control J" them to make a new clip that you can now use in the seession view also.
Here is an example of using this technique for a freeform guitar song.

I think you can hear the redundancy as well as how clips are used in different places.

Those that can, do. Those that can't, argue about it on k-v-r

Dan; thanks for the explanation. I have been trying with Live demo and my guitar....and I really like it. Until now, I have been doing something similar with tracktion, but it is really good how Live works. I recognice this last days I can not go out of Live....
