The attributes timestretch setting applies to when you set the timestretch setting on flex playback to “auto”.
This is so you can use sound locks with different timestretch settings on the same track.
Have you been intermingling with pickup machines?
Pickup machines always have timestrech active, so if you load and use one that track’s recorder buffer attributes will have it turned on. This can be overridden if loading that same recorder buffer to another flex track, and disabling timestretch in the flex setup, but just for that track…
Hmmm, I didn’t think just re recording with a recorder would change the attributes parameter.
Are you clearing the recording, or clearing slot, at any time? That will reset it…
Maybe the recorder buffer attributes reset after power cycle. That could be it, and I guess would make sense since they get cleared.
I wouldn’t have noticed because I leave them on for the buffers and disable on flex setup when needed…
If I were you I’d just set the toggles in the flex setup, save the part, and forget about it…
I don’t think you need to not trust them and go back to thrus, you can if you want thought…
I just couldn’t find a benefit from doing it that way but found delays happening when starting the sequencer slaved to Ableton. Not every time but sometimes.
I am able to get this to work when I start a new project and set it up on Track 1. I have assigned Recorder 1 to Flex on Track 1.
However, on my existing project I was never able to get it to work. The problem is that it is always 16 bars delayed, meaning I can’t hear the live input. It seems similar to the bug mentioned earlier by d2ba. Or perhaps it was related to using a Thru machine on one of the other tracks for the same inputs?
Does anyone know what might cause the Flex machine to NOT be able to play back/read the recorder buffer at the same time as it is being written to?
OK, perfect, it’s working now. The micro-timing trick worked… I had tried that already earlier, but I think I did it in the wrong direction or by not enough.
Thanks tnussb.
What is the disadvantages of just using a Pickup machine vs using the Flex machine in this manner? Isn’t a Pickup machine nothing more than just exactly equal to this, aka, a Flex machine assigned with it it’s own track recorder buffer?
If I set up a trig to record the live input and it keeps recording the live loop. Will it get continuously stored in the memory …this taking up heaps of storage room eventually or does it get put in the bin and disregarded for every loop?
Wait, so recordings are overwritten. What’s this about RAM space?
Overwritten means they were there on recording but gone once overwritten? That means a loop is stored and depending on how long the loop is. I’m ok with that, never use much more than the standard 128 steps anyway.
