I have now spent 9 hours trying to copy clips from Session to Arrangement. It looks like they copied, the notes are showing in the main window, I've poked around with all the buttons to the right of each clip, but only the top one plays. It has "Master" in the output box, but the others don't have ...

Try typing "violin" into the search bar, and click the "sounds" folder. Drag in any of the violin.adg files into the arrangement. You will then have made a MIDI track ready to record into the arrangment.
I tried this - - nothing there. there is nothing in the "Name" box after typing in violin, and ...

a previous post here mentioned the "back to arrangement" button but doesn't explain. Please explain because i'm confused about that too.

The other thing that inevitably happens, all the time, is that a video or instruction will say to go to "midi input mode" or something like that, and there will be no "midi input mode" anywhere in my menus or screen. or the video will show you a screenshot, and my screen doesn't look like that and ...

I'm so frustrated by some of the comments that "everything is in the manual", when virtually none of my problems are ever confronted in the manual. i have followed the directions every which way i have found them, trying to learn this program and I always end up stymied and with no answers to be ...

I have also somehow managed to create extra copies in the session view - no idea how that happened, and it makes even LESS sense because I now have 3 tracks which have identical two clips in them, (5 1-Grand Piano and 6 1-Grand Piano show up in each of 3 tracks), but in Arrangement view, there are ...

Even more confused now. I tried changing the Input type (in Arrangement view still) to see which tracks might play. I chose a different selection for each track. I unchecked the solo button i had on (i have checked and unchecked it, and nothing would play either way) and now ALL the tracks will play ...

I'm not sure where to look. in "Link MIDI" box, there are columns for Control Surface, Input and Output. nothing changes or appears when I plug the USB for the keyboard into my laptop.
Beneath that is "MIDI Ports" which does change; Input: E-MU XMidi1X1, Track is "On", and Output: E-MU XMidi1X1 ...

I am sooooo confused. I'm trying to copy from Session view and paste into Arrangement; the Manual says you can do this and makes it sound easy. It isn't. I have tried copying and pasting, and the track shows up in Arrangement, but it won't play. i tried a few more times and now I have 5 tracks in ...

There is nothing in the preferences that looks like my interface. there's a long list, but nothing that says Scarlett.

Hi, please don't laugh at me but I can't even figure out how to record from my electronic keyboard. I've read the manual, watched a dozen videos, and none of them tell me how to get set up. I have a Yamaha PSR-400 keyboard with input/output round thingies that have 5 little pins/holes, that cable ...

I am a beginner, and am having a very hard time trying to learn this program, given extremely limited information in the user manual about how to actually do anything. I mean the details; I don't know what ANYTHING in this program does. I try to learn by reading what others are doing, and watching ...

I have a loop. I do not want a loop. I want the things/voices in the loop, but I don't want them to loop. I have tried to delete said loop. There is no way to remove said loop. Right click, left click, click drag click. In the process of trying to find a way to delete the loop, I have now somehow ...

when I type CTRL-F, a Find box appears but it is CUT OFF at the top of my screen.
I can't use it. How to uncover it??

Thanks!
'twould be nice if Ableton would have made a more obvious instruction.
