Re: Transpose to a certain note?

hi - rather than using an effect or a vst i found a really useful way to do repitching by going into the clip (your sample, .wav file or whatever) and using the TRANSPOSE function. If you drop or increase the transpose 12 points, you will change the melody one octave (i.e. your melody will stay the ...

Re: Analogue programming tips please - SFX noises

the analog instrument can be super powerful and yes, modern too. i find playing with the LFOs helps. i like to play with the vib or uni functions (located below the main volume on the right) or you can detune the two oscillators from each other to create a chorus effect (value of detune has to be in...

sample PITCH SHIFTING (i.e. female vocal to male vocal)

**** this is something i discovered doing remixes with sampled tracks. it's especially useful on vocals, for example if you want to turn a female vocal into a male vocal without it sounding robotic. or if you want to add backup vocals or complex harmonies to a single-vocalist track. also useful for ...

Re: ableton synth bleeds when i stop track...

i have the same problem with reverb, delay, decay etc. bleeding into the next loop or continuing when i want to have silence during a breakdown in a track. rather than dealing with it in the effects, which would change the sound of the instrument (which i understand you like) - i DRAW in a volume de...

Re: Ableton CPU issues

i was on ableton 7 LE for DJ purposes for a long time and did the rather expensive upgrade to Live 8 suite - definitely noticing a huge difference in performance, freezing, crashing and glitches in playback ... does the upgrade to 8.1.1 deal with this at all?

Re: Latest Live 8 version: Live 8.1 is online!

I find the ableton website is extremely unclear with regard to the difference between updating and downloading a whole programme - when i select "check for updates" in the live help menu i get a link to what looks like a full version of live, with instructions on installation as if i don't...
