Ableton Forum

[quote="hoffman2k"]Makes me wonder if there were ever any Ableton Live related casualty's quote]

leading to a host of moaning articles about addictive computer programs like the broadsheet press sprung on us all after that kid died from playing to much Everquest....

tutorials.... do them all, and all will be clear

I think the topic should say it all - what is the better program to use? I normally use Sound Forge through habit more than anything, but now I am using Ableton more and more, I figured I'd see what everyone's opinion is of just using that to record with...

I looked at Enigma when I was trying to work this out - it is exactly that to me - a bloody enigma!

I am now happy in my little world sticking little white stickers all over my X-Sessions saying what everything now does!

Thanks buddy

As those of you who pay attention to these things know - I am learning to use a pair of M-Audio X-Sessions to control live (without much luck at times :? ).

Just a quick - stupid - question: I keep programing the controller to recall my carefully assigned functions in Ableton for each of its ...

Sorry still not there - NO help in the manual, or the website. I've assigned both controllers to different channels in the Midi/Sync preferences, but Ableton still only seems to recognise one controller, meaning if I assign, say, knob 1 on controller 1 to master volume, then try to assign button 1 ...

OK, so at the risk of a flaming - HOW? I have very little experience of MIDI controllers, only having got one recently... help!

Through an accident of flatmate and I ordering the same thing without telling each other we have two M-Audio X-Session controllers for Ableton. Now we want to reach the obvious next level: two linked to one laptop, but when you plug both in, Ableton only recognises one, so the knobs just get doubled ...
