Ableton Forum

No big deal, but the Ableton Live doesn't show up on shortcuts and in the Start Menu, only the default windows Icon.

Hi,

I think I might have sent some e-mails with status logs attached for this, but just to make it clear what is happening:

(1) Start Ableton 8b4.
(2) Start Reaason 6.5 as ReWire Slave
(3) Leave it alone for a while (an hour or so).
(4) Come back and try to interact with Live, for example by ...

Hi Mads,

I'm Windows 7 64 bit.

Do you mean C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 8 or Live 8 Beta?

Hi,

I have had this about 6 or 7 times. I've e-mailed the crash reports in.

Basically I start up Live (not for the first time in this Windows session), and the splash screen is displayed and I get as far as "Loading the template set", then it just freezes.

I have to restart the machine to get ...

Hi Mads,

It seems to be fine now and I can't replicate the problem at all now! I'll keep an eye on it and if it happens again I'll save the project at that point and do a bit more diagnostic for you.

Hi All,

I'm pretty sure Copy and Paste in the Session View are not working.

I copy a clip using Ctrl-C, and then paste using Ctrl-V, and nothing happens. If I drag the original clip to a new location by clicking and then holding Ctrl to copy to the new location then it works fine however.

Regards ...

Hi Mads,

I've started up Live numerous times in the past couple of days since 8.4b8 and I don't see the problem anymore.

Many thanks,

James

Hi Mads,

I'll monitor this and get back to you if I see it in 8.4b8 - unfortunately it was an intermittant issue so I can't tell straight away if this is cleared up in 8.4b8

Hi Mads,

Sometimes the message takes a few tries(it is a Cancel, Retry, Continue dialogue) - I click "Continue" once, twice, or maybe three times, and the messages goes away and Live resumes as normal.

It only started happening in the last few days.

Hi,

I've not seen this message before but I have just started up Ableton Live 8.4b7 and the following message has popped up a few seconds after starting the software:

"Ableton Web Connector.exe - No Disk" -"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR4 ...

Hi All,

I've seen quite a few posts and videos on the internet about how to use Maschine in Ableton Live, but some of them don't quite do what I want. I thought it worthwhile putting a video together which shows the way I've settled on working. The video covers:

(1) Using one MIDI channel in ...

Thanks everyone I think this gives me good information.

I also found a video today where somebody took a bowl of barbecue sauce and sampled the sound of stirring this round, he then processed it with various audio techniques - really amazing how sounds can be generated!

Thanks again,

James

Hi All,

A question that has often come up in my mind is this: how are samples "made"?

To further explain the question, I'll provide a bit more information:

If you go for example to the Ableton Library you will find a patch called "Ambient-Downstairs". This is a beautiful instrument, but once you ...

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to Ableton and love the Live Set idea. The below is not so much a track as a set I've produced, and which I'm hoping to turn into a track in the next few weeks.

Please note this is pre mixing and mastering and is more me experimenting with the structure and trying out ...

I use Ableton as my sequencer primarily. I use it largely because of the creativity that is possible because of the interaction between the Session and Arrangement views.

I have a couple of suggestions:

(1) The ability to "group" scenes in the same way as you can group channels. They could then be ...
