I am definitely having issues.

Upgraded to lion on day one since I had just bought my mac; like an excited schoolchild I acted without thinking.

Trying to sync my MPD32 to ableton w/ ableton as master. If the MPD is plugged in and external sync set Live freezes as soon as I try to play clips.

I ...

I thought that may have been the problem. Lion is great but has proved to be a bit buggy with compatibility on a few things.

If that is the issue what are my options?

I'm trying to sync my MPD32 to ableton so that the note repeat tempo is determined from ableton's set tempo.

These are the settings I am using:

MPD32 Input: Track - ON, Remote -ON

MPD32 Output: Sync - ON


Anytime I press the play button (either from ableton or on the mpd) the transport freezes ...

I just picked up an MPD32 a few months ago, and a new macbook pro a few weeks ago.

I am having similar latency problems. The MPD32 is powered via USB (and transmitting MIDI this way as well). No matter what I try it seems that the sound is always just behind my fingers. It throws my playing off ...

I'd be using it for both studio and live use. I'll eventually be picking up an audio interface so that I can run a bass guitar into ableton, so the foot controller options on the mpd32 are fairly enticing.

I was worried about not having enough functionality on the mpd26, i think the mpd32 would ...

Which do you think would be better to have for use with ableton?

Compared to the mpd26, the mpd32 has more knobs and faders, multiple control banks, a row of buttons (beneath the faders) and footswitch inputs.

Do you think the mpd26 in conjunction with the novation launchpad could make up for the ...

I figured that was the case, but I was wondering if anyone had specific experience with any that would make me not want to buy them (i.e. problems with latency, audio quality, etc).

Anyone have any experience using an audio interface with ableton?

I'm looking for one that has at least 1 mic and 1 instrument input (2 mic/instrument inputs would be cool too). I don't know if it is possible, but it would be great if it could take the signal from each input and route it to a ...

I've been looking at a few so far and this is what I have come up with:

I've been looking into getting a USB mixer that can work well with ableton.

Specifically I'm looking to do basic recording and mixing, but it would also be good if I could use it for live performance as well. Ideally it would have at least a few mic inputs and one or two instrument (guitar or bass ...
