Live Looping for Free: Waveform Free

[@keshavptech]

Awesome!! Thank you very much for this really! I too have an Impulse 49 and use the Waveform DAW and been trying to get live looping work. Much appreciated.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

So awesome! Shalom. This is an amazing looking DAW that I just found an hour or so ago. It beats MPC Beats and Cakewalk. Hehe. Very nice looking plugins it has, too. Hehe. Programming the Akai MPK Mini 3 is so difficult in FL Studio (I have the trial still lol). I did find a free script, which I'll try later today. I found some free drum plugin that works beautifully with drum pads that I found through the same channel that I found this DAW from.

This is genious, thank you sooo much!

[@dinyaacobmimpijatuh]

can this work on audio looping?

[@comradecookies1691]

Nice nice

Thanks for the video!

So would I need a MIDI controller keyboard like the one you have in order to switch between tracks? I'm using the Akai MPK mini mk3 and can't figure out how to use it to switch between tracks

[@sustainedsixteenthmusic2689]

I'm using regular MIDI channel changes to change tracks, I just have each track set to its own channel. Looking at the MPK mini mk3, it looks looks like it might be possible to program a certain pad to do channel changes in the setup software, but I don't know for certain. Alternatively, you could use a midi modifier VST such as MidiShapeShifter to program a channel change with different pads. I don't know if that will work, but it's a free VST, so it's worth a shot. I hope this helps!

[@GraziTheMan]

Thanks for the reply! I did end up using the drum pads to switch between the different channels and it was working great. All the way up until I tried to do it while recording lol. Waveform seems to block switching tracks or arming/disarming tracks while recording is in progress. Gonna have to get ahold of Tracktion to crack that egg, I think! Thanks again for the content and the reply.

​@@GraziTheMan No problem! That recording issue is strange. Have you looked into punch recording in Waveform? It seems to be what you're describing, and it works well for me, so their may be an issue with your installation. Here's a video on punch recording that might help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJvZoIhugMaVbKc . It goes into more detail than is probably necessary for you, but you basically arm a track, press record, then disarm it. Then, you should be able to arm and disarm tracks as you wish. It works that way perfectly for me, but it seems like you might have already tried this, so I don't know. I hope this helps!

[@GraziTheMan]

@@sustainedsixteenthmusic2689 Yeah Zane's channel was actually what made me choose waveform as a DAW. So far, punch recording in Waveform is track specific, and allows you to either manually arm and disarm a track while the rest of the song plays, or set a range for it to auto punch. Unfortunately, it doesn't come into play when I'm trying to switch my MIDI input from one track to another without stopping first and rerecording. I might have to learn a bit more about the MIDI channels that you were using, because apparently you managed to get it working. Other than that, I think I will have to submit an official feature request!

[@sustainedsixteenthmusic2689]

@@GraziTheMan You're right, I forgot that you can't switch the input device while recording. The kind of hacky workaround that I'm using is using virtual input devices to split the signal of my MIDI controller to several tracks. That way, I don't have to change what input is on each track, I just have to arm and disarm tracks. Submitting a feature request is still a great idea though, as being able to switch devices while recording would really make it so much easier to perform live!

[@ricoF71]

Live demo please?

[@sustainedsixteenthmusic2689]

Yes! That's a good idea. I'll do it in a future video!

[@ricoF71]

@@sustainedsixteenthmusic2689 thanks! Most appreciated...I await for it!

[@pro4svp]

Now time for live demo SustainedSixteenth Music. I have got behringer motor 49 and I looking for setup waveform with this midi controler to get effect as in ableton with IAC driver in mac without any third part of softwear. If someone know how to do it please write down.

[@Trancelistic]

Do you know how to do this in FL studio? Oh, and how to have aftertouch working in FL Studio? You be a great help!. Nice video, keep up the fun!

[@sustainedsixteenthmusic2689]

I have never used FL Studio, so I don't know how to do this in it. Aftertouch should work in FL Studio, but I don't know specifically how to get it working, either. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

@@sustainedsixteenthmusic2689 To bad but thanks for the reply:)

OMG - got dizzy watching your head CAM

[@globetrotterdk]

Very informative, but a barf bag should be included with the video for those viewers that are prone to sea sickness. It makes it very difficult to concentrate on what you are trying to demonstrate.

[@oliviermarmotte4351]

It's been very quiet for a while here 🤔

[@sustainedsixteenthmusic2689]

Yes, I've been very busy this year, and haven't had much time to make videos, but I've still been making lots of music. I'm writing and arranging some pieces for an ensemble I'm starting, which is super fun. I have more videos in the works, though, and maybe in the future I'll record some of that ensemble stuff!

[@oliviermarmotte4351]

@@sustainedsixteenthmusic2689 It's good to branch out and be working with others. Hope to hear things in the future here or on souncloud. And I'm sure you'll come back here with lots of new ideas.
