Thanks a lot senator adam, and you as well for your humor, dub.

Just wondering if you guys had any tips on achieving lo fi quality for recording acoustic guitar and vocals in ableton. I use an mbox 2 interface with a m-audio condenser mic ($100 range). Here's an example of the sound I'm trying to achieve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4PEUQ4ORWg&feature ...

Thanks a lot guys. Great info in here.

Probably a noob question here. I was just wondering if there was a way to link separate songs together in ableton. I'm recording an EP and want a couple of the songs to lead right into others. Is there a way to achieve this in ableton? Much thanks.

Thanks a lot for the info guys.

no need to buy a stereo mic.

Totally works. Thanks man.

Gotcha. Well I think I'm just gonna sell this thing and get a stereo mic then. Thanks.

I'm using my mbox 2 with ableton and I have one xlr mic going into input one. I've screwed around with all of the input output settings and cannot achieve stereo.

Nevermind. Fixed it.

So I changed my library location to incorporate some live packs that didn't install with ableton. I then repaired the library, and now everything sounds like static. How can I fix this or just go back to my default library?

Wow. I downloaded and installed the new 8.0.4 drivers and it works perfectly. So stoke right now . Thanks for your help though guys.

The drop outs should not be related Live.

Have you used this with Pro Tools yet?

I had the same experience with my MBox 2 and for now, have it tucked away in a closet until I upgrade my computer as the cause for the issue (for me) was hardware incompatibility. You see, my drop outs were ...

Like, I can get the test tone better and better, but I can never get it constant. I'll try upgrading to the 8.0.4 drivers earlier. If not, craigslist it is.
