Re: newbie with a question

The launchpad is just a midi device so is unlikely to be causing your audio issues. You can hear audio when previewing so your sound card settings are likely not the problem either. When you say "add to the tracklist" what do you mean? Are you dropping audio onto an audio track, or via a m...

Re: HELP! Weird pitch warping in Simpler & Sampler

I found out what it was.......it's a dodgy mod stick on my Novation SLII which was sending micro pitch adjustments via MIDI.....very frustrating but glad I got it sorted :oops: :lol:

HELP! Weird pitch warping in Simpler & Sampler

Hey, For some reason I'm getting a very weird pitch warping sound when loading samples into Simpler and Sampler. It's as if the sounds has a really bad sounding autotune and it's creating a nasty warbling sound. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with warping because I can get the sound to play ba...

Re: Akai APC40 mk2 for Arrangement?

I find limited use for my APC40 MKii when putting tracks together. Yes you can do arrangement with it by creating scenes in session view, then recording the triggering of them into the arrange window, but to effectively use all the controls requires an amount of setting up which I can't be bothered ...

Re: Ableton not picking up Amplitube, just straight guitar sig.

How are you trying to record? Amplitube is an effects plugin so for it to work you need to put it on an audio channel and record your clean guitar straight through the preamp. That means that if you disable amplitube it will most likely sound really dull and rubbish, but enabling Amplitube simulates...

Re: SERIOUSLY. What is the vert best Guitar modellng software?

I liked Amplitube before I got a valve amp to mic up instead! I could get some quite nice boxy bluesy tones out of the AC30 models.

Re: sample based synths

Have you also thought about granular synthesis? Bit different the Omnisphere/Alchemy approach but equally rewarding!

Re: took 5 mins to load project on PC, what part to upgrade 1st?

Hmm that sounds like a software issue somewhere rather than a hardware bottleneck - you shouldn't have audio crapping out at 58% CPU usage. What soundcard are you using? Are you using up to date ASIO drivers? What are your buffer settings?

Re: Any difference between grouped tracks and a Bus

I use bus tracks instead of groups because you can't group within groups. Other than that they are the same.

Re: Without Additional VST instruments and FX

"Expensive" instruments does not necessarily = a high quality sound. Live's instruments are some of the best sounding integrated instruments in a DAW that I've used, you just have to get creative. Try layering up instruments and seeing how they sound together. Create sounds, split them int...

Ableton crashing when Recording with MIDI controller

Been having a problem recently which is rendering Ableton useless. Live has been crashing when pressing the record button on my MIDI keyboard. It doesn't happen every time, probably more like every 5 times (which is obviously far too often to be able to use the software). It happens with my Oxygen 8...

Re: Newbie - Live 9 Lite - Production Testing Help

Hi :) With regards to the time signature, I'm not sure if any software exists to pull it from the audio but it's really more of a human skill you need to learn the theory for. Basically you need to identify the downbeat of a song (i.e. the first beat of every bar) and count based on that. By far the...
