Ableton Forum

Awesome stuff, DLing now.

Wikipedia has a pretty decent technical explanation of what appears to be happening. Looks like ableton uses a simple resample in this case.

Pretty much every DJ flyer around boston says that the guy's gonna be playing electro... meh.

I use operator and FM modulate a saw wave with a sine to start. After that it's distortion, reverb, redux, EQ and the like until i get it the way I likes it.

Sxratch works in ableton. Load the file called file "scratch2_vsti" into a midi track and open the parameter interface through ableton (not through the vsti interface) and set a knob or slider to "sxratch slider" and send any note to the vsti through your keyboard to trigger soun...

Good stuff, is the tempo on both the computers synchronized or are you guys just firing stuff without the grid? Also, is the drummer getting a click track on his headphones?

Hey Mike,

Mind getting a little more technical on what this plug is actually doing?

I used to play bass guitar in a band but now I've decided to use my keyboard and laptop, just for the sheer possibilities. The problem is I really like garagebands instruments but much prefer live's way of working. So if anyone has any hints on how ot quickly change between instruments and how to t...

Hey Nickw,

As far as I can tell, no. All of the clip functions seem to be only available to the focused clip. But you could get a vst plug (i don't have a link handy, but they're out there) to adjust transpose and set one on each channel.

Hey Sineman, For electronic stuff, what your friend suggested is more or less the best method. For non-electronic music, try this: Click on a warp marker, hit crtl-A (on pc) to select all warp markers, zoom in, and adjust the first marker with your left-right arrow keys. This will adjust all warp ma...

I really like the intro on this track. But somehow as I listen to the rest of the track I don't hear it developing much. All the variations you use on the original line just seem to similar to the original. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but I feel that the middle of the song seems to dra...

That's actually pretty catchy.I think you could eq the thing a bit better, especially the guitar, which really needs some kick when it's by itself. Nice track.

If you're not concerned so much about super-high accuracy, could you not just set the knob range to a smaller one (ie 0-64) then map the midi range in ableton accordingly? It sure "moves" a hell of a lot quicker that way. Or I could just be talkin senseless crap in my sleep deprived state...

Hi Toxi,
USB and midi connections are pretty much the same, they both send the same data over different wires.

Hey Frosty, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to get the solo function to record, as it's designed to be external of your recorded music. You could try recording to an external device or setting up a program to record from your master out (you can probably even do this with a second instance of able...
