start the song, count the beats for 30 seconds, divide by 30 gives you a rough bpm. Set that as the tempo in Ableton, play the song unwarped with the metronome on , adjust the tempo until the metronome is clicking about right. Or try a pbm counter like the free mixmeister one on their page (pc only ...

can't help you; like you say, it's a lot of data. Ableton are pretty good about this though - look here:

and if you don't have those installed you then clicky-clicky

if you're registered then there are a load of tutorial videos on their website which explain everything very well

someone said that Applied Acoustics string thingy was one of the better modelling vsts for strings in another thread. Otherwise there are a few multisampled orchestras available, but they are of course expensive. I think Garritan is considered a good value for money option. I don't think they are th...

you either browse to the location where you dl'd the rack to in the lice browser and drag, or just drag and drop form a window outside of Live. After you've done that, if you like the rack you should save it into your racks folder by clicking the save icon in it's title bar. I have a folder for my o...

ok, will have to have a look into it, I remember reading a SoS review of it and thinking it sounded pretty useful. Was interested in audio exporting because I'm used to rex-ing loops and using them as texture in battery, layered with other hits to create kits. Being able to do that effectively live,...

can you drag and drop audio slices from phatmatik pro into a sampler like impulse or battery, to create a drum kit out of a sliced loop?

a vocoder using noise of some kind, then granulated or glitched? I know of nothing that does what you're talking about, sorry.

nope, not sure what the answer to your q is - using a separate disk is good because you then read from two different locations, instead of having to read both from one disk, but I don't know how that trades off with the page file, since your second disk is already taking advantage of this for it's a...

As Ewistrand said

although it imght be worth turning of auto-update features while running Ableton - they can force my computer to a crawl if it is already running near to the red.

haha, remember being so pleased when I first saw those scale templates on here. Thanks

first of all, can you programme decent patterns? The two things which are most important are getting a good pattern and samples. Sounds like you're ok, but your samples are the problem. I assume you've played with altering velocity to get the desired level and punch and it hasn't worked, in which ca...

I had a microkontrol. I sold it. But before I did I made a little readme with some scenes for the guy I was selling it to that covers this sort of thing. You can get it here: http://www.mediamax.com/stutter/Hosted/MK%20Ableton%206.rar it's a working example of what Namihei came up with. There's an.h...

Nebulae: never considered playing live without a top on to display my wonderful back. It doesn't look anything like either of those though, you might be disappointed. Hopefully the music would be enough. You're right though, I could look at some girls back's all night long. Angstrom: didnae think of...
