Ableton Forum

So I recently upgraded from an ancient PC to... another PC, however much newer and better specs. My experience with using Live 8 on my old pc was sometimes slow but always ran fairly smooth, but my new install has been completely buggy and detrimental to the whole process.
Mainly, during all ...

So I've had this HP tower for almost 3 years, nothing stellar, just a home computer that I installed Win7 on instead of Vista. I started using Ableton lite 7 at first, just for recording ideas etc but over the years, I've gotten very familiar with it and it has become not only a tool for producing ...

So maybe this isn't that rare of a problem but somehow a bunch of my audio files have been replaced with other, incorrect ones from other songs. Is there a simple fix for this or am I screwed?

The title is a little misleading, I know how to trigger drums via Ableton and things of that nature but what I'm trying to figure out is, would it be a practical tool for playing live gigs while triggering multiple controllers simultaneously.

I have a couple different soundcards of varying power so ...

awesome, thank you for the input. By chance, could you help me with another strange thing I ran into?

I was trying to make my own "synth" by recording two octaves of guitar notes, one at a time. I did the two octaves, got tired and saved. When I came back to the project, instead of just having ...

I have been playing around with my new launchpad lately and the one thing I've run into is when I create my own clips to launch, audio or midi, they only play once after I hit the scene launch. I've noticed that the factory installed construction kits seem to have an automated looping pattern ...

If it were me, I would open up my project in the PC and choose "Collect All and Save". Then, "Manage Files", "Manage Project", under "Packing" choose "Create Live Pack". Save the pack somewhere other than the project file. You could even save it to your flash drive. Once all that is done, go to the ...

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro 13" and I want to take everything I'm working on from my PC and put it on my mac. I tried just saving my ALS files to a flash drive and transferring them over but alot of samples were missing. How do I transfer not only the als files but the samples as well?

So I had some issues with my computer and had to reinstall Ableton recently. Everything was pretty smooth up until I tried using my Sakura plugin and it just showed a blank window. Nothing, you actually see THROUGH the window instead of seeing the interface. Anyone encountered this before?

It started scanning, then the app froze and crashed. Hasnt worked since. Tried reinstalling ableton, no dice. If I ...

I recently upgraded from Live Lite 7 to Live 8 Full and I can't use any of the old devices and there aren't any new ones with Live 8. I have to open Live lite 7 in order to use them. Do I need to reinstall my disc or something?
