I have a standard way of setting up macros for my drum racks that I create, and I create and use a lot of different drum racks. Is there a way to save a preset so that each new drum rack that is setup already has preset macros mapped or is it necessary to manually map them all each time?

In sampler, on the sample tab section... lower right hand side there's a box that says Interpol. If you set it to none and change the pitch of your drum samples, it sounds grittier like a vintage hardware sampler. In normal, good, or best mode it sounds more veiled and worse to me for boom bap drums...

Any straightforward way to do this? I like having it set to none in sampler when flipping drum sounds because it gives it a more gritty sound when pitch shifting for hip hop stuff. Wondering if I can do this in Simpler since the slice function is really great there.

Did you ever figure out why an SSD drive might cause this issue? I just built a blazing fast new PC with 64 gigs of fast ram etc. I'm getting momentary GUI freeze/lag every 2-3 seconds at all times now in live 9 on Windows 7. I really don't want to have to buy or install a new non SSD drive to fix t...

I have a RME Fireface 400. Windows 7. Brand new quad core Intel I7, 64Gb fast ram, and fast SSD. It's not clipping, it's crackling a little like audio buffer issues and lives processing meter spokes up to like 60%. I'm thinking maybe it's because it can only utilize one core of the cpu and has no fu...

I just built a new blazing fast PC and expected to be able to use the Complex Pro warp mode in Simpler (Live 9) to play chords with samples with no issues. However, a four note chord is still giving me crackles etc... even with the buffer size set to 1024 samples. When this happens, Ableton is barel...

Hit record and play midi keys freely, find a good part and loop it, find the bpm of that loop and set the project bpm to that so that you can add additional parts easily. Is that possible in Live 9? I usually come up with initial parts much better when not playing to a click.

Turning on the Fades button inside of every clip fixed it.

If I load up a clip in session view, like a bass guitar part, and I trigger the clip... it plays fine with no pops/clicks. However, if I retrigger the clip while it is playing, I get a pop/click each time it retriggers mid-play. The same sound can be retriggered in sampler with no click, or a much l...

Is that possible in arrange view? For example in cubase I would click one, then hold down command/control and click a second, then a third etc. I can't seem to do this in Ableton. I have tons of edits I have made and need to move them, but don't want to move them one at a time.

Is there a way to make Sampler not have a clicking sound at the start of each note when you've enabled only one voice? I have a bass synth sample set and want to play it monophonic only allowing 1 voice, but sampler adds a noticeable clicking sound at the start of each note. It's really noticeable w...

I come up with more fluid sounding stuff when I don't play to a metronome. In Live 9 how do you play a midi drum pattern for example, then loop part and set the project bpm to the exact bpm of your midi loop so that you can program stuff around that loop or use tempo sync'd effects and have them mat...

I want to use Push as 64 pad midi controller to trigger drums/samples in user mode. How is the midi latency? I know with traditional midi controllers, Ableton can seem to introduce more and more latency depending on the complexity of your project (where other DAWs don't seem to do this). Does this h...

So after looking around a bit it looks like this is the best solution for me. You just hold down the shift button and hit a pad to change banks. 16 banks of 16 pads. I'm assuming the first 8 banks give you sequential midi notes across the full range. Steinberg CMC-PD http://www.sintemania.com/wp-con...

Just seems weird to me that people making midi devices don't put transpose buttons on them so they can output the full midi range. Are there any pad controllers that do this so you don't have to deal with multiple tracks or other work arounds?
