Getting pitched on this again. Might this indicate an issue with sales? Might that indicate an issue with overall pricing?

I couldn't figure out why the next scene wasn't getting selected (and subsequently launched based on follow action setup) in just some of my sets. Drove me crazy. I have the preferences and the scene follow stuff all setup just right. Works in some sets. Doesn't in others. I build one of the working ...

In a session view, at a specific scene, I want to shift to a different time signature as I record down through the scenes. But recorded clips are still recording using the beginning time signature. Any idea of how I can force the cells in a scene to record in the time signature listed for that scene ...

Ideas on How to advance to view next clip same track next scene? I have some relatively long aif files in a backing track that I want to watch while I plan for scene transitions in a performance setting. Due to the nature of the files and performance, successive clip views would work much better ...

Running a couple of tracks of korg wavedrums to build a performance multi-snare "kit" and the only thing I can't do with wavedrums (well ONE of the only things) is a good snare press. So I'm sticking a variety of snare press samples in a drumrack and triggering those with a boppad. But I'd like to ...

I could be missing something but have to wonder why "trigger recording on launch" is a right click option in every scene and "start recording on scene launch" is a Preference when changing either (or the choice in any different scene) changes them all at the same time. It would be useful to have ...

Time signatures in scenes that follow a nonstandard time signature scene, will shift to that nonstandard time (rather than back to the original global time signature) IF the signature in the following scene is NOT expressly overwritten. IE. overwrite any 4/4 scenes that follow a 5/4 scene from "4/4 ...

I have an 8/8 scene and a 7/8 scene (designated as such in the scene names.) I stuck a metronome-like clip in each (with different downbeat sounds for purposes of diagnosis.) Regardless of how I set the follow actions and various quantization settings (but mostly one measure), I get extra beats ...

This is a windows 10 problem but I thought I'd just ask here in case anyone has experience with it (as my next option would be to send a dump to microsoft for which I would not expect much response.)

Any controller that I replug or repower after a PC powerup and subsequent use by an app (Ableton ...

Thanks, all. Solved. I was focused on the Quantization options on the top of the screen but should have turned the RECORD Quantization setting (in the edit pulldown) to "none."

I have not solved this using the previously posted response. Looking for more input. I want to play into empty midi clips for subsequent looping in a performance setting. I want to maintain the swing of the material. The purpose it to have the whole performance produced on the spot. It's why I ...

…just record without quantisation…

Have you done this? Looped with a midi instrument into an un-quantized clip and maintained a swing? I must have some setting wrong because it still "straightens out" the material. (I also wouldn't mind having a 2 bar quantization in place because I'm not that ...

I want to play a percussion part into an empty midi clip for subsequent immediate looping in a performance setting. I'd rather not use the looper effect to do this. Is there a way that leaves the material with its swung rhythm? I see this question has been asked before but have found new recent ...

Thanks but I don't think so. I don't have a similar problem when I use velocity (rather than cc2) to drive the sample selection.

(Live 11, Windows 10, 16G of ram, SSD, i7, ...KMI Boppad) I'm trying to use a boppad's capability to send radius messages (as CC2) to select between samples in an instrument rack (within a drum rack.) I map CC2 to the selector. Two samples are evenly distributed in the rack pad. So it should work ...
