Ableton Forum

In Ableton Live, the last Nanokontrol fader automatically controls the volume of the Kontakt player on a midi track in CC mode, is there a way or configuration to stop this happening?

The Korg editor doesn't recgnise the device btw.

Can anyone give me some tips on how to get ambient pad sounds like Rhian Sheehan's signiture ambient sounds like the pads from ten seconds on in this beautiful track:

I know it's layering of pads and effects, but he has tons of motion in there.

How do ...

Is it possible to create a midi track and copy some of that data into Sibelius for notation? If this is not possible are there any other programs out there the can turn a track/clip into music notation?

I just got Ozone 5 and added the Ozone 5 mastering chain to my mix and it's gorgeous and rich.

What are peoples opinions and recommendations of the Ozone 5 mastering set?? Is there better plugin?

Try throwing the built in audio effect rack preset called "full chain master" on your master track

Oh man, that's it!!!! I got the expensive Waves mastering SSL plugins but they didn't do the job, I 'threw' this on like you said, and with the Ovrdrive Drive knob, bang(!!!) it did it! Full power ...

Cool, thanks guys. Nothing has fitting exactly what I need, would be nice to have a realish sounding piano on Caustic 2 but anyway that seems the best app out there for what I want so I'll download that.

What a great forum, this is by far the best forums for a good response.

Nice

Yep, just a simple sequencer with piano sounds and the piano roll, nothing too fancy.

I know TouchDAW but it's a DAW controller but not a DAW or piano roll in itself unfortunately

I'm looking for a very simple DAW app for my Samsung Note 2 that has a piano roll so that I can put down my ideas when I'm not at home then take them into Ableton, whether by wifi or simply recreating the ideas again.

There only needs to be around 5 tracks with piano or rhodes type of midi ...

Ping Pong definitely did it for me :P . It added to the feeling and place I had in mind.

That's great! You definately need it.

Check out Keith Kenniff's stuff, he's a modern ambient/downtempo genius and you'll learn a lot from him, check out his Soundcloud and 'Helios' project stuff on his site ...

My one BIG tip on making ambient music:

put a ping pong delay on everything that matters!

Great! Thanks for the tips, I'll look at all the links and get knowledgable on this subject.

Great stuff

When I mix out my track so that the levels don't peak and the volume lands on the 0.0db line, even though I use compressors and limiters, the volume is always less of other music I have on disk or on Soundcloud.

How do you get the volume louder without distortion?

Nice techniques, thanks guys!

Ableton is really cool that when you have track with reverbs and delay and you stop playing, you get a really nice after effect of the delays sounding for a short time.

Is there a way in Ableton to record this after you have pressed the stop button? Or is there a way to do this without stopping ...
