Ableton Forum

Maybe you set clip quantization (in the Clips themselves) besides None or Global? https://www.ableton.com/en/manual/launching-clips/#follow-actions Note that a clip Follow Action happens exactly after the duration that is specified by the Follow Action Time controls unless clip quantization is set ...

How does one go about that? I have a project from which I'll be making 3 different mixes: - a live mix that I recorded with an outside app that I'm intending to make an arrangement out of - a "studio" mix which sounds too different not to make another mix out of (and that I don't want to t...

Is there an Ableton Live forum elsewhere which DOESN'T look like a graveyard?
2900+ views and ONE reply: by myself ...
Most threads get pretty much ignore in here, or is Ableton Live a fake-professional DAW?

I solo'd a track from my song and the peak level clipped at 9.85dB in design view, yet when I rendered the same track to .wav and looked at it in Audacity, I figured out it's only -5.1dB (by normalizing until I didn't see any change any more pre and post that action). That's Ableton telling me the t...

I still have Live 10 Suite 10.1.30 but it's not up for download any more. Does anyone know why older versions get deleted like that? That's why I keep older versions installed: I have an old project made with Live 10 which pops and cracks like popcorn in Live 11.3.10. And funnily: ASIO's playback is...

:? That doesn't make sense reading this, I need to check it. Say, in session view, you want to play clip 1, then play clip 2 using Follow Action. If clip 1 is of an unusual length, eg 5 beats in 1 bar, its clip's quantization settings don't work properly. But when you set clip 2's Quantize setting ...

I found out how it works: when playing a clip using Follow Action, the currently playing clip will play according to the Quantize setting of the NEXT clip it'll be playing! So if you want to play a clip with a length of 5 beats you have to set the next clip you want to play to Quantize "None&qu...

The irony: for the first time using Live I lost a project, it having become corrupted and both myself and Live not having made a backup in time. But I DID make a manual backup (with suffix "_97", "_98" was the corrupted one) of it which was less than 2 minutes earlier so that sav...

Yes we are active here, just check other threads… The global quantisation is definitely acting weird for me too. Basically more than 1bar never gives me what I expect. Honestly I never took the time to investigate this specific issue, and your post is a good reminder that this needs to be taken to ...

I may have targeted the wrong field. It's the Clip Quantization setting in the Clip Launch panel that doesn't work at all. What I did was used ALL Clip Quantization settings to try and get Live to play a clip with a length of 1 and 1/4 bar (so a 5/4 bar clip) and then play the next clip using a Laun...

This is very true, I've got a song that sounds perfectly ok with zero distortion and not too low in volume (so properly gain-staged) when exported as one master .wav file, but when I export the tracks and check them in Audacity I get volumes of -5.5dB (which is ok imo) but also -10dB ...-15dB ... -2...

When I choose "1 Bar" and play another clip, it plays it after only half a bar, so it does the same as if one chose "1/2 Bar". ... in fact, it ALWAYS plays the other clip after half a bar! Setting it to 2 bars again does the same as the action I mentioned above. Has anyone else a...

Wouldn't it be a good idea if Live automatically saves the current set as a backup in the background every 5 minutes or so? In the event of a crash, when you restart, you will be asked whether you want the backup (maximum 5 minutes old) or the last version saved by the user. Even the tracker Renois...

I’m not saying that, I have never had any issues with the samples I use. Just lucky?

Probably yes and of course it also depends on how well-known the samples are.
Sampling Avatar 2 dialogue won't work too well I think ...

Thank you.
