Hello,

Currently I can build my own drum kit by dragging new drums onto the onscreen drum pads. The sample will switch but then I lose functionality with the tune and decay controls. I am using the Ableton Session Drum packs.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Chris

Are there any good (hopefully free or inexpensive) programs I can use to compose music with traditional music notation and then easily play it back in Live 8?

Thanks for any ideas!

Chris

I tried authorizing it on the site but still there is nothing listed when I expand the "Amp" menu in Live 8. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Excellent. Worked like a charm and thanks for the idea.

I am trying take a stereo recording of a guitar and combine the right and left mics into one mono track. Thanks for any help. Seems like it should be simple but I just can't think of how to do this.

I am using Ableton's string samples (I bught the $189 pack) if that helps.

What is the best way to compose strings with legato and staccato notes in the same melody line? Do I have to have two different tracks going, one for each type of playing?

Thanks for any help.

Haha ok, I suspected that, I giess I did not look carefully enough at it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies.

Dtrue17, I am not to familiar with Ableton yet but I had noticed what you pointed out but I was wondering if there was a way to do that with all tracks at once rather than each track individually.

Hi there,

Starting from no sound at all, how can I slowly fade in a song?

Also, is there a way to play audio tracks backwards? Looking to do some Jimi Hendrix style backwards guitar effects.

Thanks,

Chris

Hello, I am trying to use the "Kit-BrightRoom-Stick" instrument. When I load it into a live set a red bar at the bottom of the screen appears and says "Media files are missing. Please click here to learn more." I click it and try the automatic repair and it cannot find the missin...

Ah ok. That cleared it up, thanks.

I am trying to backup my songs in case of a hard drive failure. I have read that the way to do that is to use the 'Collect all and save' under the 'File' drop-down menu. Apparently I need to do this for every song. Where is Ableton saving this stuff so I can copy it to a flash drive? I am using a PC...

Hello, I wanted to use the BritishVintage kit after installing it but when I tried to load it a red bar appeared at the bottom of my screen saying something like "missing media" although BritishVintageLite worked just fine. I tried the Missing Media Files automatic search but it found &quo...
