You’re not doing anything wrong, but you are (as you can surely tell by the number of workarounds involved in achieving what you want) going against the purpose of the design of the OT as spontaneous live manipulator/hub.
I don’t know which DAW you prefer but, if I were going to try to do what you want, I would just use Ableton Live.
I don’t use a DAW, but there are many forum users who use the combination of Live and OT effectively. Check out posts by forum member wascal, for example.[/quote]
Yeah I know what you’re saying. The ‘live manipulation’ thing is half the reason I picked up an OT. But I already find the internal effects super limiting (no amp sim, having to use spatialiser on an effects slot just to mono/narrow a track, eq taking an effects slot etc…) and I always run stuff through tape, so some time or another each project is going to have to be split to stems and exported… Hoping I can potentially get all moves automated or sequenced and then cue each track out to record individually in daw.
The box is way more fun/organic than ableton to sit and jam random new stuff on, so I’m gonna be using it as much as a writing tool as a live tool. And when I use it live I also have to think about guitar/guitar pedals/looper/vocals/other sampler/keys etc… So I’m gonna have to automate at least some stuff in advance, export, tweak/effetcs, re-import and then work out where I’m gonna be able to also do live fader/mangling/weird sequencer trigs stuff…
