Ableton Forum

Hi all,

I'm playing a lot of violin pieces in ableton using MIDI files. I'd like to alter the attack based on the length of the note; i.e. there's a very quick attack for short notes in quick succession, and a slow attack for long notes.

Anyone have any ideas/tips/tricks?

thanks!!

So, having now spent forever reading through this thread, I'm not much wiser... can someone please tell me whether the FCB1010 can send cc's to ableton to toggle things on/off using just one preset? it seems no-one has a solution so far. I'm resorting to giving each switch in every bank a unique not...

use a mic.. 8) i'd rather not lose any quality of the audio stream well you shouldn't use that streamer then.. mp3 is a "lossy" format yeah, you're right. silly me. i'll be better off using a mic to record the lossy mp3 over its internal speaker so i also get the benefit of the awesome co...

Just found the equivalent for PC - VAcard

It's free and I've just downloaded it - works great on XP.

That's really excellent Itackett - soundflower looks especially good.

Anyone know of a similar program for PC? I'd like to stay away from the solution of downloading youtube videos as that method wouldn't work for other applications I'd like to record the audio from.

Hi guys, I'd like to record the audio in ableton from applications such as chrome or firefox, for example when I hear a great sound I'd like to sample on YouTube. I have an audio setup at home using an audio interface, so I plug a cable from my computer headphone jack into my interface, and that wor...

ok.

fa-101 driver update worked wonders.


... live and learn!!

Specs are: - Dell XPS M1710 laptop - Dual core 2GHz, 2GB RAM, Win XP sp2, 7,200 RPM hard disk. Edirol is connected with 4-pin firewire. I've enabled 'background services' under processor scheduling, set hardware acceleration to zero, and made sure that the sample rate is at 44.1 in both the hardware...

I used a Tascam US-122 to play audio and midi into live suite 8, which had big drawbacks due to there only being 2 inputs. Using a mini mixer I put loads more instruments into live so I could play gigs with a laptop, but that wasn't ideal. So I got an Edirol Fa-101, a firewire interface rather than ...

ok, the detective work wasn't really necessary! all i had to do was click (in session view, in the clip sample properties, under where it says 'warp') on where it says 'slave' so it changes to 'master', and the song tempo, including the metronome click, follows the imported sample perfectly. having ...

Is it possible to have the tempo vary, using an imported song as the tempo master? This way I'd have midi and other things line up in the proper place when we've recorded music in a studio that was free time (not to a click) and imported that track.

Thanks!!

when i record an audio loop into live suite 8 using my laptop and usb audio interface, there's a lag of around 51 ms (i used the method of connecting the output to the input and recording the metronome, then seeing the distance between the start of the beat and the start of the waveform. what it the...

Is it possible to transpose audio live, so that (for example) a singer sings into a microphone during a gig, which goes through a laptop running ableton suite 8, and the output to the speakers is transposed down an octave so she sounds like a man? (or a man sounds like a man with a deeper voice?) an...
