Ableton Forum

So, in my head, I know what I want to do.. it is applying to the ableton "logic" for doing so in an efficient manner that is giving me a headache. Example: during a live set, playing a guitar riff, or a vocal performance, I want to capture a portion of the sound and loop it on the fly... w...

@bigmonster7: For MIDI Remote Scripts you need some basic understanding of Python to get started. Object-oriented features or at least how classes work in Python are important – just so know what to look for. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Non-Programmer%27s_Tutorial_for_Python_2.6 http://learnpython...

thanks dude!

last question: any recommendations on how I could best start learning about python or writing midi remote scripts? I am a semi-IT person ( I know basic SQL, and what not)... any advice would be appreciated.. books, sites, etc..

thanks!

Is this possible: I have a controller that has 4 vertical slides that can give visual feedback also. I know how to assign each vertical slider (via midi mapping) to 4 track volume controls.. and I also know how to assign one slider to "selected track volume control"... however, I am lookin...

not sure if anyone knows how to do this, but having an issue getting the LEDs to match the ableton screen. For example, I have a script that allows me to navigate different audio racks on one channel. And when I am on each different rack, I can control the different parameters via the horziontal/ver...

Yeah, I was trying to use guitar rig in ableton and have the soft step control the guitar rig guitar tones. Sort of tricky.

In order to find out what you are missing, you need to elaborate on what the shortcomings of your practice sessions are. If you start practicing your gig, you might find that you either can't do some things that you want to simply because you do not have enough hands/feet/matrix-time. In other case...

wow! good stuff so far people! Also, I see some of you are suggesting additional performance tools (i.e. launchpad, mpc..) and as much as I appreciate the recommendation on that part, I am looking more for what would be the best practice for utilizing my current tools. For example, I said I want to ...

So currently, I have the following: Macbook Softstep foot controller QuNeo pad controller (waiting for it to arrive) Guitar MOTU UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid (10 inputs / 14 outputs — there's no channel sharing in the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid; the mic inputs, S/PDIF I/O, headphone out and main outs are all hand...

anyone have this template anywhere?

not sure what the issue was, but it is working correctly now. I wonder if I just had the previous recordings setup with some odd "force quantize loop"....

oh well.

if you still want me to send you the live file, I can do so.

hmmm. I just opened a different live set. When I bring over the same clips from the other set, issue still happens. But it doesn;t with different clips. I"m going to do another recording test. Right now, my setup is one midi pad set to record and move down to the next clip slot (which waits for...

@bigmonster7: hm, that sounds really strange (and frustrating) – it works for me on 8.2.2. Which version are you running? When you fire the scene via STC, does it loop the clip or does it stop after your global quantize setting? I first thought this might be due to the clip’s follow action, but tha...

Hmmmm. Still researching. So frustrating.

does anyone else have the problem of using fire selected scene where, when you do it (using the STC key or midi map) that it loops only based on the global quantize setting. For example, I have a sixteen bar loops in the first scene and when I do fire selected scene, it only plays one bar of the cli...
