As the previous poster said, bounce your Reason tracks (record to track in Ableton, or import the bounced audio — however you want to do it) before trying to bounce your final mix in Ableton. Trying to bounce a mix in Ableton with elements which are being pulled on the fly from another application (...

Uhhh, ok more info on the problem. It appears that it is actually more to do with the SIZE of Ableton's arrangement window that is causing the problem. If I blow up the size of the window so it fills the 24 inch LED display screen then Ableton starts running slowly. If I run Ableton with the window ...

I like the hook. It's got a real nice overall sound. Would love to hear vocals on it. I know it's not finished, but I hope you don't mind me leaving some constructive criticism. I hate people who just leave "nice" comments, 'cos you never learn anything from "nice" comments. So c...

Have you tried the latest beta version of Live? I quit using them a while back because they responded slow, but since the "Ableton Improvement Program" I decided to try it out, and it seems to be running very nice. No I haven't. The problem is we're working in a commercial studio with tim...

Hi again, So I've been looking into this problem. The hard drive was in need of repair but is all sorted now. The computer is running fine, EXCEPT when it comes to Abelton. I think I've identified what is causing Ableton to run slowly though. I'm using an Apple 24 inch LED display hooked up to my Ma...

Regarding keyboard controllers, I've got an M-audio Axiom and an Akai MPK49. Akai stuff generally just WORKS straight out of the box with Ableton thanks to the built in support, this is not always the case with M-audio stuff although this is a sweeping generalisation. I've found M-audio stuff is al...

By the way... I can't see how this should affect anything, but are you playing the notes on a computer keyboard by any chance? I can hear a tapping like you're hitting computer keyboard keys? Might help us figure out what you're doing.

Thanks for all the replies you guys are awesome. I guess that leaves me with the one last question and that is why wont Massive allow me to play sounds when it is selected like shown in my video. That's the issue that's frustrating me the most. Yeah, I noticed that, was hoping you'd figured that on...

...which was just upgraded to 8gb of ram to try and fix the problem... Live is not capable of accessing more than 4 gigs of ram, it's a 32bit program. I'm no computer scientist, so I dont really know exactly what that means except that 8gig's of ram is pretty useless to Live in it's current state. ...

I would add, before you go and delete all your current tracks to create a template, it's probably best do a save as so you're editing a copy of your project. Just so you don't go and ruin what you've already done.

Any idea why when i open Ableton it always defaults back to the current project I am working on, and when i go to click "File > New Live Set" it will not let me start a new project from scratch? Yeah, it's because you've somehow saved your current Live project as the default live set. The...

Anyone? Now upgraded to the latest version of Ableton, 8.2.7 and it is still god awful slow. This is happening with a huge range of plug-ins, not any specific plug-in.

Hi, Apologies is this has been posted elsewhere but I did a quick search but couldn't find anything specific. Ableton seems to be running quite slowly since upgrading to OSX 10.7.2 the other day. It's noticeable usually when a few plug-ins are on the chain. Hitting the space bar to pause playback ca...

Uhh... course, yeah. That makes perfect sense. Thanks! I hear what you're saying about selectable input sources on the ableton compressor by the way, I do use that too but this particular Tube Tech compressor is great for certain things but it relies on Ableton's external sidechaining to route the s...
