Ableton Forum

I'm having trouble getting touchOSC to communicate with Ableton on my laptop. 1st I had problems getting Pure Data to install, but I downloaded the 32 bit version and now it works fine. I can't get the Live Control software to install on my system, keep getting an error that reads that the dnssd.dll ...

Why do you want to normalize, you don't need to for what you want to do?

At the moment and in the near foreseeable future, I only use Ableton to record and edit solo classical guitar. I close mic and I intentionally keep the gains down a bit because I go from soft fingerpicking to loud strumming ...

I'd like to normalize recorded and edited audio before applying noise reduction and exporting the file. As it stands right now, this is the only thing keeping me from using Ableton exclusively with no other DAW on my laptop. All that I can find on my own within Ableton is a normalize option when ...

I am at fault at this as we've gotten far off the original topic. The point is if you have the same source recorded on 2 separate tracks you cannot group and edit them together.

Ok, I now know more about editing in Ableton than I did when I worded the op, and I am in the process of pulling my ...

Quite simply, it sounds more like the way that I hear myself.
what kind of stereo micing techniques are you using? Most techniques have both the left and right channels with equal levels.

I experimented with several configurations and then narrowed it down to four. Spaced 18" apart 3 feet away ...

If you're processing the left and right channels differently then you're going to have a very messed up stereo image.


The only manipulation I'm doing is with the gains to balance it out, and it's usually only a db or 2. It's not unheard of to vary the reverb a bit from left to right, but I ...

I also played around with Ambience last night and got some KILLER reverbs from it.

I don't understand how panning 2 tracks hard left and right would sound better than a single stereo track. They are identical. I think you're setting something wrong on your interface.

I can't do anything with the interface in regards to panning, it is as bone simple 2 in 2 out as it gets. Where ...

Although I've found Ableton's reverb to sound ok for more unique reverb sounds I found it far from realistic and would rather use third party plugins, but to each their own.

Yes as the poster above said, all those types of editing can be done in Live. I'm not sure what you're struggling with ...

If you're not interested in playing live with a laptop I'd actually recommend Reaper. I'm currently learning it as I'm interested in being an engineer/producer for rock bands, solo artists, etc. It's only $60 (unless you make over $20,000/year from music) but the features on it actually are above a ...

Old thread, I know, but why can't Ableton include a decent editor in what is otherwise an awesome DAW? There's quite a few of us out there that want to use this program for recording actual instruments in real time. A blown up view of the wave file, and the ability to splice anywhere on the track ...

I just did a test run, and the editing capabilities in Ableton BLOWS! Seriously, can you guys include a decent editor with the program for those of us that record actual acoustic instruments?

The context is solo classical guitar. Hoping for perfect continuous takes, but reality is probable that I will need to do multiple takes and edit for one good take.

I've been looking at several DAW demos, and I've narrowed it down to Ableton and Mixcraft as to what seems to be the easiest for me ...
