Great points brought up here, XLN Life terms and conditions are also really fd up. You may saved me from spending a lot on an over hyped plugin. Still will try the demo and see tho

Yeah, but honestly, ~all~ terms and conditions are messed up. Theirs read to me more like a company casting a wide net to avoid lawsuits, but I totally get the wariness. And yeah, maybe you'll end up loving it. I didn't, but the online-only part of things is a pretty big line in the sand for me that other people might not have.

I hope more people try Momentum; it's awesome and one of my go-to "not sure what to do in this song now" tools. Used it to chop up Aimée's vocals for the RE remix competition. Used it in an old song to pitch shift and reverse an old vocal of mine that never got used, turning it into something that sounds kind of creepy and ancient. Instant inspiration, usually.

I've somehow never heard that song, so I was like, "what on earth is Vollofi talking about?" It's deeply exciting to be able to say that it's before my time since the window for things before my time is rapidly closing as the cold grip of time shepherds me into the cosmic jaguar's maw.

Please include a loudness normalize feature so that all the sounds can be heard at equal volume

Good input! Thanks-I didn't want to use a limiter since not everyone mixes into one, so I just sort of eyeballed the relative volume levels. I'll come up with something more consistent for future videos.

XO can't generate good sounding random loops like Life. Can't manipulate the samples on its own. Ops. But no-cloud option would be SUPER NICE, I agree.

I mean... the loops are basically identical in both? I'm curious what differences you're hearing. And it's the same with melodic samples without drummy transients, too, if you import those, though both XO and Life suck equally at arranging them in a way that sounds musical and non-random. Not sure what you mean about XO not being able to manipulate samples. It can edit individual samples in all sorts of ways, editing the volume, pitch, start point, end point, broad EQ (with a tilt filter), filter, envelope, panning, how much they respond to midi velocity, and whether they play normally or in reverse. I admittedly didn't play with the Edit section in Life while I had the demo, but from the looks of it, it actually has ~fewer~ options for manipulating samples than XO does. And if you mean being able to play the slices manually... XO maps everything to the keyboard for manual drum patterns, too.

@@227 I mean that Life generate samples settings automatically. You can look into Edit window while generating loops and see: it manipulate eq, adsr, fx and all that stuff. XO is only for manual editing. And Life generates loops that suits that exact samples+settings. XO simply wasn't made for this. In XO you can just randomise pre-existed patterns from other beats hoping that it will sound any interesting. In that way - Life makes some creative work instead of you. So it's really better in random loops If you NEED better random loops :) But CLOUDS frighten me.

@@artokarsusOh, I see what you mean, then. Life's randomize button seems to be switching both its patterns and preset (including which patterns it draws from) with one click, which is a little faster, yeah. I'd be genuinely shocked if that wasn't how it worked under the hood. But switching to a different preset in XO definitely does change the EQ and all that stuff to suit each individual pattern-you can see a quick flash of the default settings when I go to choose a new preset at 7:54, and the settings are different after I choose a new preset. Anyway, I'm definitely with you on the cloud thing. Forcing people to use the cloud when you're already in a DAW is just weird. For me, that takes it from a "maybe on a super deep sale" to a "never in a million years unless it's patched to work offline."

It's the rLive (beta 3) theme: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=230905 (I didn't set up the extra stuff because I've never used Ableton Live. All I really wanted was the color scheme and thinner tracks.)
