Re: Margin bug in 'Edit Info Text' / WORSE!

So today I try to store some notes on a freshly made clip with 'edit info text' - and I can't at all! Because I'm using modular hardware, it's imperative I keep patch notes for repeatability I click on a clip and no cursor appears, I can't write new info or copy from another clip - totally bizarre -...

Margin bug in 'Edit Info Text'

11.2.6 here - been noticing a problem in Abe's notepad - which I use consistently. Today as I begin to write tech notes for a clip while in arrange mode, the left margin is 'pushed' right by about 3 spaces so the last character in the line is smashed into the right border. Then when I go back to edi...

Re: Import .mov to Ableton

It's probably because the iPhone files are mp4 or something like that. Convert them using Handbrake and you should be good. Ableton Knowledge Base/Help said I could install a third party CODEC but that it require removing the ones I already had in my Windows system. Not wanting to gut my system for...

Re: Import .mov to Ableton

Thanks, that's helpful - I just ordered the part so I have some backup strategy.

Still interested in finding out ways to strip the music out of the MOV as the least destructive way of using the audio track without having to use D/A converter out (iPhone) to the A/D converter in (sound card)

Import .mov to Ableton

Wanted to use the sound from some vids I shot with my iPhone 8. The videos play just fine on my music PC using the VLC media player. But I can't import import the .mov file into Ableton (11.2.6): "Could not be read. It may be corrupted or not licensed" OK, so I guess I'll just have to play...

Tin ceilings - uh-oh !

I'm very grateful to be moving into a new house and that I have first dibs on the largest of the second floor rooms to place my studio. Only problem is - it has a painted tin ceiling (!) and I'm concerned that the acoustics will be terrible for mixing, even on near-field monitors. I suppose I could ...

Re: How many hours you work a week?

The Londoner's post about getting a doctor sanctioned stress reprieve made me laugh! Here in America we're trying to be like China and that involves a lot of demonization of the Europe lifestyle (Greece in particular). I'm all for being competitive and working hard - just as long as everybody shares...

Re: new Soundcloud Beta

They suddenly swapped my account into the NEW version - wow, what a turd! It's a classic case of changing something that didn't need a complete overhaul, and it's neither well thought out or executed. My profile description is amputated, there's a text justification bug: words are broken and not hyp...

Re: Best VSTs

Well somebody's has to mention UAD right? It's not free stuff but I couldn't produce without 'em - the Neve 88RS, the Roland Space Echo, the Ex1 - it's an investment well worth making if you're looking for serious sound. The UAD 2 now has the Manley Massive Passive EQ, the kind of thing you couldn't...

Re: Reason?

Had a frustrating experience running Reason 4.0 with reWire to Ableton... Reason insists on having the PC plus(+)key hard mapped to the tempo setting. In Abe I use this key all the time to enlarge the arrangement view and found that when I was viewing the Reason component I was often changing the te...

Re: 2012 Election of the new french president....

Hilarious commentary from the New York Times Magazine "Sarkozy’s strategy is much like George W. Bush’s in 2004. He’s trying to avoid making this a referendum on his last term and wants to make it a choice between a decisive leader capable of steering a country through great upheaval and someon...
