I’m trying to back up my user library etc to one drive and I’m getting a warning tian files can’t be backed up because of the name. One in particular is a 0 kb file named icon_. Is it ok to change the name of this? Or will it lead to issues later?

I’ve recently had to replace my hard drive and I am going through the arduous task of reinstalling everything. Can someone please clarify for me the plug in folders situation. When I install plugins from various third parties they install them in all different places and it’s a big confusing mess. I...

Huh?

Is PAD active on the mic? Check or change cable? Does the Fireface USB work with other sources (LINE)? Try another preamp/mixer etc with the mic? Check totalmix, can be overwhelming sometimes. Hey thanks for reply. Pad is not active Checked cable Fireface has a mic input and you just switch on the ...

Hey, I havent recorded with my mic for a while so ive kind of forgotten a few things. Im using a rodes NT2 and interface is Fireface USB with total mix. I have the phantom power on but I cant hear anything unless I turn up the gain to about 30. Even then the signal in total mix and ableton is only a...

When using ableton latin percussion pack the ALC files all stipulate the tempo but when i drag them into my project the tempo changes to match the project and it doesnt sound good as its too slow etc. Is there a quick way of changing the tempo of these files or a way of dragging all the midi notes i...

Mixer-speaker on/off automation is not working for any of my tracks. Ive tried in a new project and works fine but cant understand why suddenly in my current project has stopped working. Is this a bug? theres no sends on or anything. Ive noticed only when soloing also automation button is not red so...

When I move the channel slider down it does not change the input meter in the effect. I don’t understand why. If the signal goes from track channel to effects to master why does the channel volume effect the master channel meter but not the effects?? And how do I alter the input of the effects of it...

If you have a main piano chord part where would you pan it? To one side ? It sounds weird to me on one side. Or do you have centre or spread wide?

I’ve been reading about mixing etc and I noticed there’s a lot of focus on the bass being mono. In a video I watched it was shown how to do it but what I noticed was that the example they showed the bass track had two channels. It looked like two tracks in a group to me. But in my project I don’t se...

In abletons sample library theres a lot of loops etc. How are these meant to be used? Do you just drag them to the track or can they be used as a drum rack and if so how? thanks

Faders are post effects. TotalMix is post Ableton, so even further down the audio line. You need to go the other way, towards the source of the problem. If the problem is before your effects chain, you can do two things. 1. Turn down the gain of your audio clips in the Clip Window of each clip. You...

This is not possible unfortunately.

would come in very handy when recording a dj set because I could pause and start again where I left off but cant do that which is a pain

Is there any way to stop the clip then when I hit play again it plays from where it started instead of back at the beginning which is what it currently does?
