Ableton Forum

I use Reason in rewire mode most of the time I work on a project.
Treat Reason as the SUPER VST. Especially when you have some nicely made combinator patches.
The only problem is I end up with heaps of channels in Live because you can't group channels together (like is possible in Cubase).
Does ...

there are times when having an extensive musical background is helpful, but there are also times when it's a hindrance, and that's when i need to throw out the rulebook and get weird.

I completly understand this situation.

I trained in a classical form, learning the french horn and piano from ...

Cheers guys,

I thought that was the right approach. Already know how to beat match so I don't think it will be too bad to pick up.

I am trying to intergrate Live with CD mixing. I play with another guy that is very competent with CDJs but still learning the relevant skill for Ableton.
SO,
I was thinking about the best way to intergrate the two. javascript:emoticon(':?')
Confused

I want Muz (the other guy) to mix psy-trance ...

Sorry guys but I have to put this in....
I saw this on discovery channel weeks back and I thought it was fascinating.

When volumes get louder ...... and I mean REALLY loud a small bone type thingy in your head called the 'saculum' (I think that is the right spelling) starts to vibrate. When this ...

I have found that you can't group VSTs with live effects. You may only save groups that are made up of only Live plugins. If you do use some Live effects, that combine with a third party VST you can group all the live components, then
bring in the third party VST.

Not a clue how to make a skin ...

Yeah,

this is something I have spent serious amounts of time thinking about.

What I have created is a file hierarchy system. All of my files are named via a number based system.

I number my files based upon numbers
i.e.
1_7_4_#001.wav Now this relates to a specific sound within my collection ...

Yep,

Add another count to the left handed stats.

Yet I eat my dinner as if I am a right hander

sweet, that clarifies a lot.

Have you had any promblems with your ReMote25SL or is it just a good wee controller.

SO, The Remote25 Automaps the right hand side to major aspects of Abletons mixer......
.............. BUT, is it possible to create templates so the WHOLE keyboard can be set up to ...

simple answer: upgrade and make the investment to a real version of live. You
won't regret a thing.

Yeah I would love clarification on the Novation Remote 25SL as well.

I am currently 98% convinced that is a wicked controller. My question that I would like to add is that does it automap ALL ableton devices when they are selected.
I am becoming a fiend for the operator and would love to continue ...

WOW, so informative.

Nice to see to you can justify your lame claim.

How can you make such a claim. Listen to their vast array of psy-trance they produce and then try to make such a claim!

I second Cameleon 5000 and Spectrasonics Atmosphere.
Two VERY good synths.

My problem with the Spectrasonics synth is that I can't find the way to assign all the knobs to midi contollers. Which sucks, yet the base sounds are just so good that you can't pass it up!

Has to be session view.

I have been having difficulties with the BC-edit as well.
I can create devices, presets and everything and store them on my computer, yet I can't load them onto the BCF.
I have upgraded my firmware etc and got that all working sweetly, yet an error occurs as soon as I click save preset to hardware ...
