Ableton Forum

Ive been using ableton for a long time now to dj. I run ableton on my mac, out through my soundcard into my allen and heath xone 92, control all with a trigger finger.
Its served me well and is extremely dynamic with 4 outs. I love ableton but im just getting tired of the fact that ableton alone can ...

So your say if i were to drag a song in mid gog it would be best to have the file as a wav?

Im having some serious issues ableton with my live Dj setup.

Alright i use a Mac Book pro, Live 6, Trigger Finger, Firewire 410 and an allen and heath xone 92. 4 virtual channels on ableton routed out through the 4 outputs on the 410 into the 4 Xone channels.
Had a gig tonight(saturday). Was djying ...

Had the same problem, check out the thread, Trigger Finger Mappings overlapping.

Alright ive solved the problem.

So for anybody who might have this problem in the future, heres my simple solution!

Ok so when i enter edit mode and press a pad im editing the parameters of that pad. But am i editing it within the preset i had selected or how does it work?

Thanks for the help by the way, much appriceated.

Ok so, what is the significnce of the program/ bank change button? I think if i actually understood the significance of the memory recall and program/bank buttons and how they differ i wouldnt be having this problem.

Ok Why can't I just set my trigger finger so every pad/fader/knob has a different CC#?

Like i can push memory recall and select any pad from 1-16, yeah. Then why dosent this give me 256 seperate non conflicting pads?? I dont get it, why does it have to be so confusing.

No changing preset dosent seem to help either.

Ok so using enigma what values should i be changing to ensure the pads dont conflict?

Tried resetting a few times and it dosent seem to help. Ill have to have a good look through the manual.
Any other suggestions?
