Well, for whatever reason, this worked (within Live) when I tried it today. Gotta say, best service has some amazing libraries! Amazing sounds and excellent customer service as well! Highly recommended and they have a 2 for 1 sale on until Jan 10th!

I am trying to get my MPK249 to work with a few Best Service libraries, accessed through their Engine 2 Sampler. I have searched the internet and looked through the Engine 2 docs but can't seem to figure out how to set this up. When I launch Engine 2 (either stand alone or through Live), I load a ...

Finally! Success!! After reading your comments on what the orange text meant, I did some googling and found a few other similar cases where the issue was actually a USB port/driver issue. Apparently, windows sometimes assigns USB ports incorrectly or locks them or something, which has the effect of ...

Ah OK... good to know about the orange lettering. On my last try, I didn't have any other DAW or VST opened and even closed by regular audio player. But I guess it's possible that something could have been running in the background, so I am going to try a fresh reboot later and only open Live and ...

thanks yur, I really appreciate you taking to the time to help! unfortunately, I still can't get sound out of the MPK and I think I have tried all of what you recommend in your post and a few other things too.

Here is where I am at now with this:

Preferences in Live:
1- Control Surface = None
2 ...

Still no luck...

I verified that the midi track Sylenth1 is on is indeed armed. Also, when i play a key or hit a pad on the MPK, nothing on the Live screen indicates any movement, including the MIDI button in the upper right corner.

Again, this is plugged directly into my PC via USB port... not ...

I purchased an Akai MPK249 a few months back and over the holidays, I finally had a chance to "try" to set it up, configuring for use with Live 9 Lite. Unfortunately, despite following the exact instructions on this Akai page (http://www.akaipro.com/kb/article/1594), I have been unable to get any ...

So, I've been contemplating upgrading my Live-9 Intro for while now and when i saw the improvements in the 9.5 release, it pushed me over the hump. Soon thereafter, I noticed a black Friday e-mail from Ableton offering 25% off, meaning I could upgrade to Suite for less than $500. Unfortunately, I ...

OK, so I've run into a bit of a problem. For the first couple of days after installing that ASIO4ALL program, I had no noticeable issues... just improved my latency with no apparent side effects. However, in the last few days I've started noticing some issues:

1- I'm now getting this sporadic ...

Yeah, thanks again for that tip to the ASIO4ALL site, lseems to be an amazing product! I think I will probably wait for a bit to see what I can accomplish with my current set-up before forking out more money for the SC.

I think i still have some learning to do about audio channels, balanced vs ...

Hello, I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a Midi-Controller Keyboard and have essentially narrowed it down to the following 2 choices:

Akai MPK-49 (~$335)

Novation Sl MkII-49 (~$420)

I’m using Live Suite 8 on a Win7 Ultimate-64 system. I’m a newbie but will be primarily be using Live & the ...

Thanks McQ, I really had no idea there was this entire segment of external audio units out there so this has been a learning experience for sure. Luckily my MB already has a FW400 port available, and it seems that there's quite a choice for units with that connectivity (not to mention USB). Frankly ...

@ Ultimate - Yeah, at this point I can't really see dropping so much on RME gear. $350 would be one thing but to have to get additional gear on top of that? Probably not the best move for a complete beginner. Agree about the Sound Blaster, wasn't really considering it, more just listing it for ...

Hello,

This is my first post so I will start with a quick introduction. My name is Jim and I've been and on and off musician for the better part of 30 years. I've owned a Roland Fantom-X6 for about 3-4 years with the intent of re-learning keyboard playing and programming/creating tracks. However ...
