Thank you sir.

Hi,

I am setting up the M Audio FTP and not sure how to get sound working. I also want to be able to use my headphones as a monitor and can only achieve monitor sound with my mic in input 1. I have the latest drivers, also have MAC OS 10.7.2. I am using a Shure SM57 mic plugged in to input 1 (on ...

Sweet, thanks man! I am getting this now

That's exactly what I want to do, but you should just be able to draw the beats in, shouldn't you? Everytime I draw the beat in, the beat is added to the whole loop. I just want to throw in an extra snare hit or a double snare hit for variation so the beat is not redundant through the whole song ...

I am looping one measure in 4/4 time. I have stretched it for over a minute long and just want to patch in snare hits in certain parts for variation. I have the selected snare and effects layered, is there a way to do it other than copying the loop and drawing a beat in the pasted copy?? :mrgreen ...

Ahhh Ha, I think I got it... Correct me if I am wrong. The monitoring in the track was set to 'Auto', switched it to 'In' and it worked. I'd rather fig simple things like that out by myself than have someone else tell me.


... Am I talking to myself?

I was making a track and I am not quite sure what happened. I had a nice synth selected and was playing a melody over a beat I had made. I decided I wanted to work on the beat a little more and was adding effects. When I got back to laying the melody down, I no longer am able to hit keys and produce ...

Great guys, thanks much for the responses. Really wanted to get some input on this subject.

The correct phrase is "I couldn't care less", meaning that you're already caring the least amount i.e. you could not care any less.

Saying that you could care less means that you actually do care about it!

The Code device looks beautiful. I would buy it for the LED-light colors alone.

TechnoLover, that is a good track. I like how grungy the bass sounds. Thanks for that!

Hey Yall,

...I am VERY new to the sequencing/Ableton world. What are all these electro/dj's/synth rock bands doing with Ableton as far as making loops and laying down tracks? Do a majority just use the stock sound bank? I highly doubt it. Been ...

Thank you all so much. You have been very helpful. I wasn't expecting such detailed responses... I guess you get what you pay for! I will look in to this and do some more research. There is this great music store in Seattle called American Music. I recommend it for Seattlites.

Thanks again yall ...

Hello Ableton Pros,

This is my first post. Happy to be apart of the Ableton community!

I just got an iMac Mid 2011 and am excited to start a home studio. I am a total amateur and am needing some advice. I've got Ableton Live 7, Apple Logic, a Shure SM58 Mic, and a few guitars surrounding me ...
