Okay, I've decided to buy push and keep my APC40. I almost have enough money saved. My question: When I have both units activated, how do the outline boxes show up in session view? Is there a red 5-row box for the APC, and a blue 8-row box for the push? Do they automatically overlap or can they move ...

Forgive me if I've missed this bit of information. Can Push and the APC40 be used at the same time? Are any of you doing this and how is it working? I like the extra device control and sliders on the APC40, but Push is obviously a revolution I want to get in on. If they both map automatically to the ...

Hi,

Has this happened to you, and if so, how did you fix it?

My audio data is no longer being saved along with my live files when I record them. I drag them into live from a download (a wifi transfer from my itouch), edit them, master an aiff recording, and save the project file. But when I reopen ...

Hi All,

I'm getting slight but incredibly aggravating midi latency when I play standard Ableton Live patches (such as grand piano) from my Novation SLMK2 keyboard. This wasn't happening previously, but I can't isolate what was going on when it started. What are likely causes of Midi Latency ...

I hadn't considered this option. It just might be enough, so Thanks! Thanks also, Tarekith, for your informative articles. I've enjoyed them over the years and I've referred others to them.

OMG it works perfectly now, Ian! I chose the first relative setting. I wonder what they mean? In any case, the pedal now alternates correctly between play and overdub, and my guitar and brand new Ebow are very very happy!

Do you have an understanding of how metronome start/stop works with looper ...

One of the few things that other programs have that I wish Live had is a place to scribble/type in some notes about the song. I write alot of songs. I like to work on an idea for awhile then move to something else. On the way out it is really nice to write a few notes about where I intend to go next ...

Hmmm. I'm in Midi Mapping mode and don't see a drop down menu. Is yours in the Midi Mappings pane, in the Looper plug-in, at the very bottom of the Live 8 program window, or somewhere else? This sounds promising but I can't find it. I am using a pedal and have no trouble stopping, starting, and ...

Okay, I'm new to Looper and beg a bit of help. No problem recording the first 4-bar loop. But when I go to record overdubs, they record, but then are overwritten immediately. Why does the orange overdub change automatically back to yellow playback while my 4 bar sequence is in progress. Very ...

I'd suggest calling Abe support and review all of your midi input & output settings in Setup. I was having strange problems until I learned that I had assigned part of my SLMk2's to the wrong port. The switch made all the difference and everything works just right now.

Good luck.

Hi All,

When I export to audio/video I usually export to aiff format. To save space on my ipod I've tried to convert these files to mp3s in itunes. I've noticed that if I use my Waves L1 Ultramaximizer (which I like) on the master the aiff sounds fine, but the converted mp3 sounds horrible. It ...

Live is my only DAW, and I don't happen to do any electronica on it. Session view, in combination with my beloved APC40, have made drafting out drum, bass, guitar, & piano & synth parts a breeze, not to mention vocal backing tracks and vocal leads. Session view is, in short, my primary songwriting ...

It ended up being a simple settings issue. I don't remember exactly, but I think I had told the Novation that it was Controller #2 in Settings/Midi, so it wasn't responding to anything beyond standard midi keyboard notes. Once I switched it to Controller #1, it automatically recognized the SL and ...

Okay, I think I've done everything I should have, but I still don't understand how to access pre-mapped controls for Live instruments in on the SLMK control surface, which should be fully in place as of the most current templates & versions. I understand that Live doesn't really use Automap because ...

Waves MaxxBass is supposed to be very useful. Waves says, "MaxxBass uses psycho-acoustics to calculate precise harmonics that are related to the fundamental tones of sound. When these harmonics are combined, it creates the effect of lower, deeper frequencies." This is the only plug that wasn't ...
