So is loading rex files wonky in live? Regardless of version they won't load with hit points like tuts show and you can do any editing/slicing.

That's interesting. You don't see the transient markers when loading a rex file (the little gray downward pointing triangles)? When I load rex files the transients are shown and I can easily slice to a new MIDI track based on the pre-created rex slices. One thing you can't do with rex files is change the transient marker position, reset a transient and quantize the loop until you slice it to a MIDI track. So that's where rex files are different than an audio file in Live.

Well I saw a viddy using rex files and they load differently.

However, slice to midi pretty much rocks hard so that's good enough. Bare with me, I'll start feeling I "know" something and realize I don't know shit

No worries at all. Live is deeper than people may think. As long as I see the posts I am always happy to help.

For anyone interested, here are the DAWs used for each of my three tests. Obviously don't read ahead if you don't know want to know yet:

(all 64-bit versions)

A - Cubase 6.5
B - Live 8.4 beta
C - Studio One 2.0.7

Pretty interesting, actually--even though only two people replied, you guys both chose Live as your favorite in my test. I am not even going to pretend to reach a scientific conclusion from that, but still very interesting.

hahaha, nice. I love blind tests. You can't be biased. Interesting read overall.

You're just being picky now!

Well, you can easily record something onto an audio track and then just select the clip or portion of the clip and drop it onto a pad in Drum Rack. For me this is actually a bit faster than the way it works in Reason. Personal preference of course.

Nice. Sounds like Live best suits you and your workflow. I really appreciate you taking the time to post the files

edit, I had to open my BIG mouth

(crash)

Well, at least:

a) it remembers the last session and attempts to reload and....

b) it actually MAKES a crash report that can be sent to abes.

Not a glass half-full guy, but it's better than some OTHER hosts that do neither!
