Ableton Forum

yeah i guess i'll call tech support later maybe. i've tried with three different controllers so i dont think thats the problem

yep, just doesnt "activate" the button when i click on the tempo box like it does for everything else. for example, in mapping mode the other buttons glow purple then kind of get outlined in black when you click them (before moving a fader/button/pot/etc.), but this does not happen for the tempo

All i want to do is map the tempo in the top left corner of ableton's session view...it will not let me select it to map it...how do you map the tempo?

hmm how do you do that? I'm not sure what you mean. Sorry im a noob with session view.

For example, how can I allow the white noise from my "intro" scene to whoosh over into the verse. I need my automated filter sweep to not just stop when i trigger the next scene...is this possible?

where could i find this tom cosm video?

interesting. i think i will give that technique a trial from now on.

thank you...
that is about the only thing i could think to do, i was just hoping there would be some automated feature i was missing where you could magically play the arrangement and it would assign the separated clips into the session tracks...wishful thinking.
now i guess i will spend some time ...

So I have been using Ableton for a while now to make individual songs. I come from a more traditional background so I usually record straight into arrangement view since I didnt have experience with session view, and I tend to previsualize the layout of my song better that way. But my question is ...

when i was researching the bx5a's i read really mixed reviews. some were super positive and loved them, and some people thought they sounded terrible...seems to be the same thing here.
any thoughts on why? i mean i guess personal preference comes into play but i'm skeptical it would be to such an ...

thats what i wanted to hear! thanks, i think im going to make the purchase sometime this week

What would you get?
Or does anyone have experience with the m audio studiophile bx5a's?
Specifically I'd be using them for mostly electronic reference and drum stuff so I need some bass...

...it's just a case of getting used to that ever-so-slight delay when you're hitting the strings...


We should think ourselves lucky we don't play the pipe organ. I used to know a guy who played organ in a church and he routinely had to play about a quarter of a second in front of the the music ...

I play the bass directly through Live sampled trhough a MOTU.
For my Live sets I use a MOTU ultralite mk3 FW, latency values in Live with 256Samples*Buffer is 6.78ms in:: 6.8 ms out
total 13.58.
I am not considering the unavoidable latency from Sampling and File transfer (FW, USB, etc.etc.etc ...
