Ableton Forum

Greetings everyone,

Ok so my current status. I successfully record 4 loop-able clips of audio and then built up 4 tracks by duplicating the loop-able clips back to back. Occasionally i leave out a clip or two on a track to make things more interesting. I know, pretty lame first recording, but I ...

Thanks. That did the trick.

Hey gang,

Had a baby so I haven't been in the home studio for almost a year and I apparently have forgotten everything I had figured out with this program. So before I scream and tear the software off my hard drive;

My goal: To record a simple 4 bar pattern from my drum machine and then cut/paste ...

Greetings,

I noticed that when I add warp markers it alters the BPM of the clip.
If I want the clip to play at 160 BPM but the warping has adjusted it 158.5 do I just change the Clip tempo back to 160 to correct?

This whole clip synchronization concept is difficult to get a firm grasp of. I am so ...

OK.. I am an idiot. I have using the GLOBAL RECORD button to record my clips, which apparently caused me this issue.

Now the clip is looping correctly.

Wow, in 1 week I have more working correctly with LIVE than I have in 1 year of owning it.

This is hard stuff for dummies like me, but very kewl!

Yes in Session View
Yes setting loop brackets in the Clip Window

The first iteration sounds perfect. It is just all the subsequent ones that have a pause in the sound at the same point in the loop, every time.

This is very aggravating. So close, yet so far.

Additional info...

OK... I am getting closer.

I can get the start clip/start loop and end clip/end loop markers properly set and it plays thru the loop beautifully once, but on all subsequent loops it plays a dead spot around measure 3.2 for a beat or two then picks back up and finishes the loop ...

Greetings,

I have recorded an audio track from my drum machine of drums and bass.
I then go in and try to isolate the 4 bar progression and create a loop in Live.
I move the start of the clip and the start of he loop to the beginning of the section, which is a bar or two from the beginning of the ...

It worked awesome.

I routed the IN as Guitar --> DR-880 --> track11/track12 (Group 1/2 (Bus?)) --> Toneport --> Laptop

I routed the OUT as Laptop --> Toneport (analog outs L/R) --> Track 8/9 (Group 3/4 (Bus?))

Now everything is working beautiful, my line levels don't seem to require any or much ...

Well I figured it out and you were basically right. I removed the Analog outputs from the Toneport that were routed back to my mixer, which is what was causing the record loop issue. I moved my headphones to the headphone jack on the Toneport instead of the mixer. But now, I am getting a little tiny ...

Greetings,

Well my life is settling down and I am getting in a groove being a father. Which means I have some additional time to devote back to music, yeah!

So I re-approached my issue with Ableton 6 and alas, I ran into the same problem.

Current hardware config:

IN: Guitar --> DR-880 --> (two ...

So I hooked up my Roland Xp-80 to a MIDI/USB converter and successfully recorded a track of midi from the keyboard. But when I play it back;

1) The MIDI out indicator in the upper right doesn't blink during play back.
2) The keyboard doesn't play even though it is set to receive (I think)
3) The ...

Bump

Is this really that tough of a question?

I am surprise you guys haven't even asked for additional details.

Come on' help a noob.

..and then edited out a loop of that track, using both start and end loop markers.

Now how do I save just that looped section as a clip?

The manual is kind of vague in this area, eludes to the fact you can just "drag" the clip from Arrangement view to Session view to automatically create a clip ...

Then, as all of the settings are the same, and the sound source is 'the same', I'd check the dr-880 settings: don't you have a volume knob for the instrument input? or one to send the instrument input to the output of the dr-880? If you plug a headphone in the dr-880, do you get a decent signal ...
