Ableton Forum

Hi I have recently starting using more hardware with Ableton but I am having some troubles. It would be great if someone could help me out. I have a Desktop Mopho connected to ableton via a midi to usb convertor. I am using the sound tower plug in and I have got this working fine in Ableton. However...

Worked it out. Thanks though you put me in the right direction!

(If I try to mute this channel I get a dry version of the sound minus any effects I have added on the channel) I'm using an Apogee Duet for my sound card. I'd suspect, you're hearing direct monitoring from the Duet. So how do I switch this off/down? Sorry if this is a straight forward process/quest...

Hi please could I have some help and guidance if possible? I've got external instrument working in Ableton so I can use my new Nord Rack 2 and trigger it from my midi controller. It all works fine except that the sound can be heard even when the audio channel that it is routed in to in Ableton is no...

Thanks for this tip. It was my error anyway with something incorrectly selected but this is a great tip anyway for how to get on one channel

Hi I am relatively new to using hardware with ableton so your help and patience is appreciated. I quite recently got a mopho to branch in to using some analog hardware with ableton. However when I try to set it up with ableton and trigger it from my Novation SLmk2 I encounter a problem. I have set u...

Hi I think this might be the problem. Just checked and it is a SATA 3 drive. What do you advise that I do? Thanks I am surprised that you don't notice a diference between your external 1TB western digital passport, and your internal SSD. 1 big question: is your 2nd SSD a SATA II drive? because if yo...

I could be wrong but I also feel it could be a heat issue. I've read a few posts online about thermal paste issues and macbook pro fans kicking in early on some models of MBP. It seems to me that when the computer has got hot the spikes tend to start occurring. I have installed SMC fan app and Istat...

First of all thanks for the responses each is appreciated. Harmonic Progression in answer to your question I am not totally convinced it is a CPU problem as the external drive is hooked up via USB (and someone has pointed out this must be a USB 2 based on model). Sometimes the red light flashes also...

Buffer is 512 but have tried turning up to 1024 which improves but does not cure the problem...?

I also notice that ableton index seems to be taking around 50% Cpu? Is this correct...

Hi all need some help and advice if possible. It would be really appreciated. I currently have a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz I7 with 16gb Ram in and two internal SSD Drives 120gb Boot and 250gb Data drive. I save my projects to an external 1TB western digital passport. Most of my sample libraries a...
