For example, lets say I navigate to the beginning of Bar 5. And I go to edit an audio clip in Bar 6. When I hit play again, the audio starts at the beginning of the clip I'm editing instead of the beginning of Bar 5.

Furthermore, you cant even move about the transport using your Arrow keys because ...

a 2015 MacBook Pro was outdated in 2020, let alone 2024. (I had the Mid 2015 top of the line MBP with everything maxed out)

Then copy your comping from the track's main lane and paste it to another/new Take lane.

this makes sense, thank you

Huh? Do you mean over-write when you're loop recording audio? Just open the take lanes. All the previous loops are there. If you're on an older Live, double-click and open the editor. Everything you recorded will still be there if you scroll to the left. Live does not immediately erase any audio ...

I want to comp, and select the best pieces as I go.

but by default, Ableton will erase all of your comped selections with the newest take.

Is there a way to make Ableton not do that?

So it's not related to CPU capability?

More like a plug-in bug?

How do you fix it?

My audio and the transients are not linked together, it seems like there is a lag somewhere. Here's a video

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Trying to decide between dreamverb room modeler or cambridge EQ or Precision Buss Compressor, 2 of these has to get left out, anybody have any opnions between these 3?

Can anyone help me set the two to be the same?

What I mean to say is, when you click on a waveform in the arranging mode, the audio clip warp marking editor pops up on the bottom. On this grid there are measures, for you to warp your transients too ...

i have a 4k 28" monitor. 28" is the largest i would go with 4k.

the larger you go, the more blurry it gets. 4k is just a marketing term they use to specify the resolution.

at "4k" resolution and at 28" it is just below what you get on a Retina Macbook Pro. The number youre looking for is ppi ...

In the MPC world there's this book called the MPC bible which is most people would agree is the best guide for the MPC.

Is there an Ableton equivalent book or guide thats really good for learning how to produce music on it.

(not just the manual).

For example, lets say I slice up a simple 4 bar drum beat.

In the beat, there's going to be multiple snare hits, high hats, kicks, etc that get sliced.

It doesnt make sense to sample each high hat slice and assign them to different keys/pads. It makes more sense to sample every high hat, but then ...

Ive got some transport buttons (play and stop) mapped to a midi footswitch.

The MIDI is set to send a Toggle message of 127 and 0. When I hit it the first time it sends 127, when i hit it again it sends 0.

This causes the Ableton mapping to only work every other time I hit the footswitch ...
