Ableton Forum

i am using a quad core mac with 16gig ram,so no problem there. ableton 8.4.1. ..oh, and motu 828 sound card.. this is strange- i have a simple drum loop- 4bars with kick on 1 and 3 with snare on 2 and 4, but i hear everything happen 1 beat later. Well,now I see that after I remove delay compensation...

I would like to know how to assign different midi channels for different instruments- not just channel1.

I am with you. I nearly chose to go with a pc as an alternative but then saw what the new macmini quad core had to offer with four usb3 and firewire 800. I have had laptops for the most part and don't need the mobility that I used to need as an electronic musician...Now I just work from home! I have...

none of my midi controllers work properly. Midi assign does not work on oxygen8, akai lpk25 or nanokontrol by korg. I got stuck a bit because my computer died a week ago and had to buy a new one with pre installed 10.8.(macmini quad core)... I am wondering if I should go back to snow leopard or wait...

just picked up new Mac mini with pre installed mountain lion and a number of things don't work with it including nankontrol. Does anyone here have it working with this operating system?

I have new Mac mini quad. core and because mt. lion is on there my older pieces don't work. I really don't feel like buying another controller that works or new audio card. Kind of a bummer. I am wondering if there will ever be driver updates for these..Anyone know, or know if a new cheap controller...

just got a new Mac mini with firewire 800 connection. I am using a new 800-400 connection. The audio card blue light blinks on and off.(not red)..and it will not be recognized in live as an audio card. Any ideas? thanks.

I have core2duo 2ghz. macbook running 10.6.8. I bought a used phonic helix firewire interface and ableton live does not recognize the unit. Any thoughts please. thanks.

Yes, I think so too. Especially if it becomes both pc and mac standard. I don't know of a good usb card...Certainly not Maudio. Now you only have firewilre 800 for a mac...they both gotta go in my opinion.

I was thinking of upgrading my current audio card the original 828 motu...I would wait if there would eventually become a new thunderbolt audio card, etc. any thoughts?

well, for me the problem has to do with which key is being activated. such as c3 or e2. there is no good way to reference the sample of you are using a keyboard and want to find it ..

When I slice to a new midi track, i cannot see the slices in the zone window. In other words it is not possible?? And then all of the modulations,etc. are only global??? Please tell me this is not true. Man, give me back by hardware sampler.

ctrl + left/right = select transient

ctrl + shift + left/right = select between transients

ctrl + space = play selection



hi, i dont really understand what you are saying. Do you use a pc or a mac. I use mac.

well, thats what I thought. thanks. it does seem a bit crazy.

how to assign sampler start point to a midi controller : I have attempted in the past to assign start point of sampler to a a knob on my original oxygen 8 midi controller. I am using 8.0.5 currently. I don't have the same problem for simpler. I would aprreciate any thoughts.. Oh, also I have a probl...
