That excerpt from the Live 7 manual isn’t about groups, groups didn’t exist until Live 8! The reason they’re called “submixes” is because you used to have to do a little hack where you’d route all of your channels to one submix channel. Groups obviated the need to do that.

No, I’m not Goldbaby, just a fan of his samples.

Im with NG on that…
Cubase lets ya do it with any track…just assign the Folder track, its kinda like a storage track almost. I dropped Cubase a while back for Live.

i use this quite exessive. the only downside is, that it’s not possible to regroup all the group-track into one single channel â€“ like with the drumracks.

hey, i gotta question… HELP
i see that grouping channel is not much different procedure than when you use sidechain comp and the same problem occurs in both actions…

The thing is that when I try to rout audio from one channel to group channel (in grouping) or kick channel to bass (in sidechain) in the list of all channels, there aren’t ALL CHANNELS!!! in fact, there aren’t most of channels so i guess i must’ve overlooked something coz it’s not abletons fault coz i came across the same problem in several versions of LIVE… if you have any idea of the solution I’d appreciate it… and oh yeah, killer site, nice work:)

peace

The thing that super sux with Live using this technique is solo’ing a channel that’s in a group. You can’t just solo the snare, for example. You must solo the drum group and the snare. Frustrating.

Hi Gary… yeah I’ve downloaded all the free drum machine packs from Goldbaby. Is that you by the way? Good stuff!

I agree Jimmy… Ableton need to add a select more than one fader at a time feature. That’s high on my want list.

Yeah this looks useful. I will have to give this try. I know I suck, but I barely use the session view at all. Guess I probably should.
