Super excited to have this new update, but I'm finding that my workflow is getting interrupted with some of these new keyboard shortcuts. Wondering if anyone knows how I can get some of these back. - In Arrangement view (Cmd+Option+R) used to show/hide the Return tracks. Now it opens up the mixer pa...

Ah, gotcha... I don't want to have every song in the project for sake of cleanliness and ease of picking/finding songs... So I guess I'm back to a newbie question then, how do I go about saving clips in the library for easy file dragging? And, further, will they still have the appropriate follow act...

So, I'm creating my live set. I've got all of my individual stems warped and looped, etc. Thus far, I've got 6 songs - each one was made in its own respective project, all contained within the same project folder. The goal is to be able to drag a specific song into the template and have all my clips...

I was on a youtube train tonight and found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXZWYyDNZ4k... There was a download that came with it but I think with the redesign of Ableton's website they deleted the blog post. If anyone has it please share!

Good idea.. I'll post that now!

@aioffermann - Alright, so I'm gonna time stretch and soak in reverb... Then what? I'm thinking maybe Sampler? I don't know how to make it playable by MIDI, though it seems like it should be pretty basic.

I'm attempting to create a white noise patch, file, whatever, from a recording I took of wind on a microphone. I'm wondering if there are any effects/processing chains I should put the original recording through... Then the best way to go about this.. I need to be able to pitch it and whatnot. Any t...

I'm so close to finishing this song, but I need to add energy after the little buildup towards the end... I would really appreciate any ideas as to how to go about this. I want to keep the bass and guitar sample focused, without adding a bunch of just random noises... More with less I suppose? Anywa...

I'm trying to use vst instruments to play/record stuff to an audio track... then chop that up and drop it onto drum rack cells to flip that way. Can someone explain an easy way of doing that? I saw some tutorials on youtube where people export their chopped samples first then import them back into ...

I think the more time we spend making tracks the better we get. We are all learning...I don't think the learning part ever stops....that's part of the reason I love making music...it keeps my mind engaged. :D Totally! I've learned some new tricks you guys may appreciate... I can't post them all rig...

Hey I would really appreciate some fresh ideas, I've been in this song for about 2 days now and I'm losing focus. Any tips / advice / direction would be greatly appreciated!!

Much love, and happy beat making!!

Hey, I'm trying to make an effect for live sets, just a simple gate. However, I only want it to effect the mid and high frequencies. So, I made this rack, but it's not turning out... I have an AE rack with 2 chains, one for the mids and tops, and one for the lows (which should go through dry). The i...

Hello all- I'm trying to figure out how to program a 128 Drum Rack ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwJ0_pWftRU ) with the ability to layer samples. Essentially, I use 3 instances of multiband dynamics on my kicks/snares etc. I solo the low frequencies on one, the mids on another, and highs on the t...

Mixed In Key does a pretty good job, for me it's right 90% of the time. Some I'd double check with my own ears. I use it for mixes and DJ sets.

What about you Vanngogh,..where do you usually go for your drum sounds? For me, I have a bunch of 128's... So I guess I do the same thing, finding sounds that fit with the sample I've cut by scrolling through the different sounds. I have 128's for each sound; Hats, snares, kicks etc, which are all ...
