Ableton Forum

I made a huge mistake by testing Bitwig. I realized - you can edit audio in the Clip-View (!) - you can put as many audio-files as you want in ONE Clip (!) - also you can actually see automation IN the Clip in Clipview - just like you can actually see the content (waveform, midi) IN the Clip in Clip...

I did try mapping the delete button in ableton but nothing happened. How did you do it? I m not 100% sure what "fnord" was talking about. Due to the mentioning of "multi purpose button" i m guessing though, that he is talking about the Ableton Looper Plugin. Which has nothing to...

I think it's probably just an "it is what it is" kind of thing. No, it isn't. This is a feature Request Forum, lol Abletons Midi Editing functions could be WAY better and faster, and it's wonderful to ask for Ableton to change, and it would be wonderful if Ableton would listen. There are ...

I strongly prefer current placement as it makes drag & drop of the content from browser into track so much easier and faster Are you saying this, because you fear that Ableton would permanently switch the view? I hope you realize this is a "preference" feature request, which means: yo...

Original Feature request is from 2006. Wow that must be some sort of record, haha! I hope Ableton will listen to the Feature request at its 20 year anniversary in 2026. I m more hopeful for 2036 though. I m serious. So my guess is: 2036 we get audio overdub, 2046 we also get audio editing in clips, ...

Oh, i found the answer myself shortly after putting the question The Track must not be armed, then it's working. No wonder i did not easily find that out, because i m using -enableArmOnSelection in the options.txt... Because Ableton doesn't have that option in the preferences... I guess i can't have...

Hi, i recorded some Session-View-Clips into the arrangement view, meanwhile controlling the Track Volume via Midi-Controller(Faders). Since i was unhappy with the Volume Automation curve of track 1, i tried to re-record only the movement of the Volume Fader. Until i realized, i don't know how! How t...

I found another Editor, where the "save" button actually is able to replace the original file in ableton "Acoustica" by acon digital. Test version is working fine. If anyone of you could tell me if Soundforge Pro , or Steinberg Wavelab also can overwrite the original file, would ...

Hi, what Sample Editor is working together smoothly with Ableton? I mean: Pressing "edit" should open up the editor quickly, AND the opened file should be save-able!!! When i try to do this with e.g. Audacity, this will not work, because Ableton blocks the file from being overwritten. &quo...

i have this bug too, WITHOUT "enable only while recording" on. the metronome is skipping a beat. Edit: woops, it seems in my specific case, it thankfully wasnt a bug, but a loop-region in the arrangement view was active, which i didn't realize since only working with session view. Whenever...

This is a thread from 2010, tells you a lot about Abletons quickness of implementing intelligent, logical and requested Features... Wow. Please Ableton, wake up! It can't be that Ableton is supposed to be a "LIVE" performance tool, yet you cant edit a recorded AudioClip on the fly. No, you...

Hello, As far as i know, this is a topic lying in the hands of native instruments, not Ableton / Ableton workarounds. I might be wrong, but as far as i know Native Instruments sadly made the decision to make Maschine Controllers be forcefully intertwined with the Software of Maschine - while in orde...

I wonder why some people define “growing and getting better through community feedback” as “tyranny by majority”? How could someone support the complete and utter lack of communication with the userbase as something of virtue? I absolutely understand the fear, that Ableton MIGHT get pushed into impl...

+1 do it. do it. do it. (imagine Ben Stillers voice telling you this, Ableton.) Oh, and before i forget it: Look at your own Beta Forum, Ableton. Look at it. Look at the Feature requests which are stacking up since more than a decade. Look at the Feature Requests which are upvoted by hundreds of Peo...

Hi,
Not sure if i understood you correctly, but:
You can change the behavior of the looper, so that it plays after recording, instead of going into overdub mode. You have to change the overdub symbol to the play symbol by clicking on it.

Hope that helps.
