My setup on Arturia BeatStep is this:

Pad09 Kick

Understanding Phase occurrences with "Vinyl Distortion" and "Frequency shifter"

Hey Live community!

I am freshening up some hihats and using Ableton's vinyl distortion I get a weird read out on the vectorscope.

My Hihats are a nice "ball of wool" as it should be on the vectorscope - correlation is in the +range so all is good!

But as soon as I start using and tweaking the ...

Rendering overdriven Audio creates 0dB File - what does Ableton do here?

Here is the situation:

I have a Track finished - it overdrives the Master section visibly.

So I would expect to get an overdriven Audio File after rendering - but I do not!
The File is perfectly 0dB

Normalization in the rendering tab is deactivated - I dont have a Limiter or anything that would ...

Re: Solo Button ignores one Track - will not Solo

The problem has to do with the TrackSpacer Plugin!

A Send is involved here - as soon as TrackSpacer is on, the Track on which is is active will not solo anymore.

That is what happens but I dont understand why :-(

Solo Button ignores one Track - will not Solo

We have several tracks but the first one (MIDI Track running a Sampler) just will not mute when pressing the Solo Button.

I just dont get it - all other tracks do as expected but that one just stays on (yellow Button stays yellow but should tur grey).

That ...

Re: Audio Dropout on "first Kick" - Live9 MIDI and Audio!!!???

Thanks for the reply!

I had already looked into fade-in bevore I posted this thread.

Unfortunately that didn't help.

It solves the problem if I put a blank audiofile before the actual one in order to have the channel already active when the actual audio part begins. Ableton then creates a ...

Re: Audio Dropout on "first Kick" - Live9 MIDI and Audio!!!???

A very good idea I have a different audio interface which I can test the see if the phenomenon is the same.

Also remember that the Firewire Interface in my computer is a quite cheap one it might have some performance issues so I could try to replace it

The Firewire cable itself is of high quality ...

"External Audio Effect" - has no Record button! why?

Ableton8

Arrangement View

I want to record external audio - the Track is currently set to "No Input"
Choosing "external input" in the Track I want to record to creates a "record" button which I can now click to "arm for recording"

Fine - that works well!!!

Problem:
