Re: Weird problem: drag/drop sample into Drum Rack auto-transposes +9

I'm not at my computer right now but I would hazard a guess that it is this. If you load up a new instance of simpler to an empty track, does that have the transpose up by 9? If so, then it has been saved like this by default. Set it back to 0 and right click the simpler header and select save as de...

Midi interface not always working in Live

Hi, I have a Motu Midi Express 128 with a couple of external synths and a tr8 hooked up to it and into Live via its usb. Everything works fine and how it should, but some days when I fire up Live, I don't get any midi signal sent to the external gear even though nothing has changed or been unplugged...

Record midi cc's to arrangement... how do you do it?

Hi. I have just discovered that this cannot be done and from reading a few other similar posts it seems ridiculous after all these years that it is not possible! I'm using a few external synths and finally have a set up where I would like to record a live session in the arrangement view with the cc'...

Re: Unfold Groups via MIDI - Launch Control XL

Not sure if this will work for your launch control but works on my Nucleus, you have to have focus in Live to the arrangement view so that when you select the group track it unfolds, doesn't work in session view. I have a button mapped on the Nucleus to the tab key so if I'm in session view, I tab t...

Re: Preference: Put track names ON THE LEFT.

+1 to this for sure! I think this was an early on decision by Ableton purely to look different to other daw’s which was way back when we were working on just 1 small monitor. Then we then started using 2 monitors which is why Ableton stepped up eventually and allowed us to utilise both screens with ...

Console 1 full integration - finally!

HI, Just fired up Live and randomly Console 1 said that there was a change with my DAW and that the full integration will work (track naming, selection etc.), press ok to accept! I did and it does, on PC!!! After feeling very puzzled, gave it a whirl and it works! Then looked at my Push 2 and that w...

Re: Anyone using tc electronics new hardware controllers?

Apologies for the late response, been away and sorry for bumping this back up but I would like to add a couple of things. Mark, that is an awesome stand you have there for these units and yes indeed to switch 'focus' to a different instance within Live, is by way of opening the plugin window and the...

Re: Anyone using tc electronics new hardware controllers?

That seems to have worked!! Installed it as VST3 and set up the VST3 folder in Live (dont have any other VST3's) and it now upon a quick test, saves the preset state within the Live set. Thank *!*! for that as I was thinking of sending it back as it would be pointless if it did not save preset state...

Re: Anyone using tc electronics new hardware controllers?

Thanks for your reply Mark!

Hadn’t thought of that so will have a try tonight and report back.
Will be strange if that is the issue though

Anyone using tc electronics new hardware controllers?

Hi, Just got the TC8210 reverb and Live is not saving changes to presets with the saved set. Example - load the vst into a track and pick a preset which has dry/wet at 50. Change dry/wet to 5 and then save live set and close. Open up set again, track with preset is loaded but dry/wet is at 50 which ...

Re: Console 1 full Integration with ableton

Just got console 1 and it’s a shame that it doesn’t fully integrate as it was intended too within Live, but it sounds and works so good I can put up with it for now!

+1 from me, let’s get this sorted!

Have you a SSL Nucleus and can you confirm??

Hi, I am seriously considering upgrading to one of these and part of what allures me is the possibility of not using it as a soundcard, but being able to run the stereo mix from my focusrite through it, so as to have monitor and headphone control direct on the Nucleus. Is this the case as I like my ...

Anyone use Roland boutique in Live and Windows?

Hi Just bought the Sh-01a and with all its advertising about audio over USB, I thought, great I'll hook it up that way, saving an audio input. How wrong was I! To use the SH audio over USB, it has to be selected as the audio driver within Live, which means not being able to use my Saffire audio inte...

Re: Push not working in Live 10

Just got it working. So for those of you who may encounter the same problem when going from 9 to 10, it disabled it itself in midi preferences. Input 1 and 2 were still set to Push 2 but for some reason Control Surface had changed to none. Selected Push for this and hey presto. Cheers and Mark you w...
