I may create a separate thread about this soon, but I am keen to find a confident synthesist (is that a word?) for an ongoing arrangement where I will pay to have custom presets created for me depending what song Im working on. So for example, if want to start creating a trance track that requires a...

Hi Guys So I wanted to create a sound for my library. I entered it thinking it would be simple. I don't really know synthesis that well... but I guessed it would just be a coupled of saws stacked up with some click added in the Decay / sustain But I just cant even get close. The sound I mean can be ...

Not fussed if you ignore the advice or not. I have that suggestion as that was an issue for me on another DAW in another decade. If it's an intermittent issue, especially if the machine you use your DAW on is also your every day system too (games, net, emails and all other manner of softwares) it c...

If you minimize the application does it still create the same pops and clicks as often? If it seems to reduce it could be video drivers that need updating as strange as that sounds. Im not ignoring your response... I always knew graphics could cause such things so it doesnt sound stupid at all. I n...

Hi There, Yep, I've had this :? Using Apogee One with reasonable buffer size. Shouldn't happen, but to be honest I just shrug at Live's random spikes, farts and glitches and crashes! If I was using it professionally I would be very pissed! Awesome... it always feels nice not to be alone. I wish you...

My Focusrite Scarlett crackles and pops were remedied by placing it as the only device on a powered usb 2.0 hub. Don't ask me why it worked, but it did. Thanks for your help... but the reason I know it isn't this is because I get the same issue whether using my USB soundcard, or using my onboard so...

Yea, partly true for me too. However I have just restarted my computer and exactly same thing happens as soon as I open ableton. So its not only that for me

what audio driver you use (directX ? asio ? asio4all ) which sound card you use ? wild guess : try to increase buffer size ! (buffer setting are not transfered across versions i suppose) I use the prosonus USB Audiobox. I get the exact same problem whether i use ASIO4ALL ... or prosonus' own ASIO d...

This is so frustrating. i can understand having high CPU and getting pops. Its a logical solution of clearing up and reducing CPU strain where possible But if my Ableton CPU count is between 20 and 50% (and my main CPU count is between 10 and 20%) then I should not be getting any pops at all. None o...

Hey guys I am wondering if anyone would be able to explain to me how this bassline ios created: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z5FVt5gYr4#t=98 Its the main bassline that kicks in at 1:07 If people could have a blast explaining it, that would be great. However I am also on the look out for a sound d...

Oh and i guess an important sidenote is sometimes, the CPU display in ableton is not touching 100% ... Like it can sit between 50 and 60% - but yet the audio is still glitching crazy amounts. This happens on my monster PC too and the workaround for me is to disable audio within ableton, and re-enabl...

hi guys Ok so i know this sort of thing is constantly spoken about, but nothing which suits my scenarios When I'm travelling, I produce from my laptop. Which is powerful (ish) - 6 gigs ram, 4 cores. However it is using onboard sound card. I have download Asio4All. I get nowhere near the distance int...

Thats interesting... so it seems people are in the same boat as me but there are people who get the recovery option as normal I wonder what is causing this then I agree, the main wierdness about this, is that there isn't a bigger lash back for this. Maybe the people with this issue are a tiny minority

Hey guys So i have been getting problems exporting my tunes ever since upgrading to ABleton 9. I have been using Ableton for a couple of years now and NEVER had issues like this before. 1. Occasionally the first beat of my track is quieter than the rest. ALmost as if the limiter kicks in slightly la...

So another mysterious Ableton 9 change has been spotted by me I don't know how to describe my methods here but i will try my best. I have always used this effect when making techno music, where id put a HUGE reverb on a certain stab sound. The reverb has to be on the stabs track (not via send) I wo...
