Ableton Forum

That's interesting. in terms of my own tracks i'm all software based, writing mainly house music on Cubase with Halion and various other VSTs + several fx plugins (just the usual delays, reverbs, etc). Up 'til now I've always ran my tracks at 16bit, 44.100 sample rate.

So you reckon that upping the ...

Yeah, I had thought that the complexity of a track could be a factor too. Thanks a lot for your replies.

Yep, I guess that could work if I was looking to do a pre-programmed studio DJ mix for example, but if I was doing a live mix i'd ideally need to be transposing quickly within Ableton.

I'd also be curious still to know why certain tracks perform better than others when transposed within Ableton?

Does anyone know? I'm particularly interested to find out as I'd like to maximise the quality of my own tracks when their transposed.

Something that I'm sure a lot of people must have noticed is that when trying to alter the pitch of a track in Ableton some tracks stand up admirably to it whereas others suffer really badly.

As a general rule of thumb I don't like to transpose a track more than 2 either up or down since the ...

Just a quick note to say that i've tried the method bigbadotis suggested and it's working well. Your right Ti-Groove, it's not perfect and the isolated delay at the start of a loop the first time you trigger can be a problem, but all in all i'm happy with it.

Cheers,

Ross

bigbadotis...

Your absolutely right! I must admit when I wrote my first reply I hadn't quite figured out what you had meant. It was only after i'd logged off the net that the penny dropped and I realised what it was you were saying. Haven't had a chance to try it yet but i'm sure your method is ...

Thanks for the taking the time to reply guys, much appreciated.

Your post about rendering the file so as to wrap the effects back to the beginning was interesting - if Cubase had a similar function then my problems would be solved but as far as I'm aware it doesn't? Anyone know?

I will give your ...

I'm trying to recreate a song I made in Cubase so that it can be played live using Ableton. I've recorded various short instrument loops from the original track like drums, bass, main lead, etc. Loops like the main lead also contain the fx (i.e. long delay) I used on that instrument. The problem is ...

Hope Edirol sorts out your midi problem soon. As for the volume, yeah i'm having to crank it up a lot too when listening through the headphones, haven't hooked it up to my studio monitors yet.

All the best,

Ross

Hi again, thankfully i've managed to figure it out and it's doing the midi stuff fine now so no need to rush out and buy a midi interface.

Basically what to do is follow the instructions to install the drivers, etc as it tells you in the Edirol manual. When you load up Ableton go to the Options bar ...

Hi mate, sorry to hear your suffering from similar symptoms to myself. Like you I've managed to get it up and running on the audio front, but no joy with the midi. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I'm not going to have to pay yet more money to get a midi interface as well.

Hopefully ...

This is my first post on the forum so hello to everyone.

I've got a very basic question here - I have just bought an Edirol PCR-A30 keyboard to control Ableton via my laptop. I've connected it via USB but I can't get Ableton to recognise / acknowledge anything i'm doing on the PCR...it's got me ...
