Ableton Forum

thanks man, yeah i did a fare bit of focused testing the other day and i may be even more confused than i was when i started? so if you drag a clip into the actual User Library it creates just an .als clip referencing the sample which has been placed in the Samples/Imported folder. BUT if i drag tha...

OK, I have been using this damn software for ages and STILL have not been able to figure this out, I'm sure it's the most obvious thing. I like to load in sound fonts, and various sounds into playable instruments and save them in my user library for later use. The problem is often when I move to a n...

Prob use to answers being sugar coated to fit the way he wants to function, was just saying how it is mate. I also had to learn to shut live down before powering off the interface back on Windows XP and also cannot hibernate my pc for the same issue. Live and learn and carry on. After 25 years myse...

Sorry, one possible workaround would be to not use the ASIO drive and instead use the shared WASAPI/WMD audio driver so the audio is not a direct connection but rather runs via the windows mixer. This will be more forgiving if the interface vanishes since Lice maintains contact with the windows dri...

turn my interface on/off or open/close Live .. I know that works but I'd like a more seamless and forgiving workflow, That is your solution dude. I understand you want things to bend to your way of working but it is far better to understand how a square peg fits in a square hole than to want to des...

Hey yall, I have already searched the forums and support base and not found a fix, so hopefully this will help others (and myself!) Every time I disconnect my audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett 18i8) from my PC it crashes Ableton and ignores any attempts to boot it up until I do a full restart. I u...

Been using Live for many years but never had a problem quite this bad: Live will open, load the template set and immediately freeze until force quit. After that it won't open again until restart, when it does the same thing again. I have tried: -uninstall and reinstalling -checking the crash reports...

Ah figured it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkwXkWvRa7A
Why didn't they mention this anywhere LOL, guess I missed that

thanks for the response, this sounds awesome but how do i access the scene's properties? don't see any buttons or context menu options

I used to use this constantly, where you rename the scene to whatever bpm you want and it changes the set to that bpm on launch, can't figure it out for the life of me how to do it now, wondering if they took it out or introduced a more clever way, any insight appreciated!!

hi all, got a focusrite scarlett 18i8 yesterday and it worked flawlessly. today i plug it in, set it as the input in preferences, and then BOOM... audio switches to red "OFF" sign. each time i try to activate the scarlett interface it turns on for a second or two then goes gray and disable...

You can't simultaneously do notes mode and user mode. Plus it doesn't offer a whole lot in terms of feedback.

thank you haha

explain?

thanks yall, but i still can't play a midi track on push while say an audio track is selected for tweaking. so annoying. unless i missed something. i heard there's a 3rd party hack that does it but that it's quite mysterious/complicated.

If you want your first track to stay armed you need to "hard" arm (rec arm is red instead of pink) it i.e hold REC and select the track. If you now select another track the previous one won't be unarmed. nice this seems so easy, but having trouble making it work? when i hit the record but...
