Ableton Forum

Hello. Every time I launch Ableton I get this alert prompt (pic below): Failed to load the Audio Unit "Console1." The Audio Unit plug-in could not be found. I'm trying to get the alert to stop showing up. Reason it might be linking is because I used to have the Softube DAW hardware unit Co...

Hello. Probably a silly question, but after upgrading Live from 9 to 10 I now have this little blue dot on the channel volume slider arrow. It only appears on track channels 1, 2, and 6 and not on the others. What does it mean and how do I get rid of it? It wasn't there before upgrading and am unabl...

Hello. I just purchased the Console 1 Fader. I've seen videos of people using it as a DAW surface controller with Ableton Live. How do you make this happen? Do I need a plug in? Where can I get it? I'm also running all of my audio through a PreSonus Studio 192 Mobile 22x26 USB 3.0 audio interface, M...

It's strange they dont employ the same simple solution handheld audio recorders do: just start a new wave file immediately as the last one ends. Ive got a couple of recorders and they do it gaplessly. If it becomes a big enough issue hopefully they'll do a software update at some point in time. if ...

The thread may be seven years old, but it's still a relevant question and seems to come up fairly often. It's something I am still wondering about. I also experienced this problem back when I mixed sets seven years ago. After a long hiatus from music I've recently gotten back into things and will be...

back now and had a quick squizz at the user manual. so you have 4 sets of software mixes available, Mix 1/2, Mix 3/4, Mix 5/6, Mix 7/8. note that Mix 1/2 does not automatically correspond to outputs 1/2 in Live, nor does Mix 3/4 refer to outputs 3/4. there will be a way to configure them to do that...

In that pic, the Cue Out in the Master seems lower than the Master Out right below, and the Master's meter is not "through the roof" clipping (red). That's because I turned it down for the screenshot. If you go over the half way mark on the rotary volume is when it really starts to bump u...

I switched the configuration to match the example link. Don't notice any difference, here's what happens. Problem is still outputs 3/4 going directly to the headphones still plays the master outs being sent to 1/2 directly to my amp. Selecting "cue" on any track ends up bumping up the volu...

Yes, that's normal for me, I don't mix common sets. I mix realtime between six tracks all the time and often have six going at once with loops and such. I can try disabling the input selections since I'm not bringing in anything external. I sometimes play live guitar along with mixing, but I'd likel...

New PreSonus Studio 192 Mobile USB 3.0 (pics) - Woes routing DJ style headphone cue + nasty static starting tracks. MacBook Pro Retina 2015 running Ableton Live 9 with a powered USB 3.0 seven port hub, and a mapped MIDI USB controller for manual control in session view. Apologies in advance for the ...

I'll look into the script. Thanks. I added a screen shot of the editor app for the XL. I've also not been able to set unique CC values to toggle "loop" on/off of multiple MIDI columns even though I can set them in the app. When I go into MIDI map in Ableton, it will only accept one value e...

Hello. Using a Novation Launch ControlXL with the app/editor on MacBook Pro. Also using another MIDI surface controller in tandem. (1) The lowest row of pads set to toggle start/stop each audio track in the 6 MIDI columns recently started triggering only after tapping it twice. It used to be once, n...

I've been warping for decades and I do a lot of untrackable guitars with electronic/techno. Sometimes you just have to do things the old fashioned way ... and listen and mark accordingly then line up to your tempo grid. For the non tempo precise linear music I have to actually count it out in my hea...

Perfect. Easy enough. Thanks!

Hello. I recently picked up a surface controller for Live. I want to MIDI map the global tempo to a fader or rotary in session view, no problem setting that up. But the range is crazy showing 20-999 so even making the smallest adjustment creates a huge jump and it's near impossible to control tempo ...
