Is there a way to disarm clips? When a clip is armed, the playsymbol in front op the clip is black. When another clip is launched duo to a pad on an Akai LPD8 (clip is midi mapped), not only the clip that is mapped starts playing, but also the other armed clips. When a clip is finished playing or st...

Hi, I'm using Ableton mainly for backing track. Multiple clips in 1 scene are a backingtrack for 1 song. I have also clips with effect (audio files). These I want to start with a midi controller (AKAI LPD8). I learned Ableton to start a specific clip with a specific pad. THe problem is that when the...

To convert a midi clip to an audio clip, the midi clip is recorded into an audio clip. So, the midi clip is played and the audio clip is externally recorded. No problems here. When I change the tempo in Ableton, the audio clip plays in its recorded tempo and not the defined tempo in Ableton. What I'...

Does it also work with Windows?

Thanks. I tried, but Forscore doesn't get a midi message. I also see Ableton doesn't send a message when the midi button is enabled.

Is it possible to send a program change in the middle of a scene playing? So not in the moment when the scene is started, but somewhere in between.

I use Ableton only for backing tracks in my band. Each clip is an instrument in the backing track. In a clip is the entire song so I don’t work with separate chorus, verse clips. The backing track is started by starting the scene. On stage I would like to start the scenes with a controller. Which co...

When midi files are imported in Ableton, with some files more midi tracks with clips are generated and with some files just one midi track with 1 clip is generated. That clip has all tracks in de midi file. But I want that each track in de midi file comes in Ableton as separate clips. How do I do th...

On an Ipad I use Forscore. This is an app to show scores. On a score you can place a button. When you push the button a midi message (program change or HEX message) can be send. Is it possible to start a track in Ableton when you push the button? And if tes, what kind of message it has to be?

Ableton 'plays' midi files over an external synth. Is it possible to make from the midi file an audio file? THis works for VST pugins, but does it also work with external synths?

Hello, After searching in the manual and many websites, I haven't found if it is possible to start a track by a midi input. In my setup I use Forscore on an ipad. This is an app where you can view and edit music scores. It is also possible to send midi messages from Forscore. From Forscore I send pr...

Thanks

It is a midi clip. Follow action is set to "Stop" and action timw on 100.1.1. But after 100 bars the clip doesn't stop. I tried also 100.0.0.

Hello. I am a newby in Ableton. So likely a simple question.

I made a clicktrack of 1 measure loop the track. The loop has to stop after 100 measures. Is this possible and how it is done?

Thanks!

Thank you for all your answers.

The method of TLW helps me best. I can arrange everything in arrangement view and when it is done, make clips of it. All tracks are shown vertical in session view and can use a scene for a song. Perfect!

Thanks again.

Thank you for your answer. Is the thing I want even possible with Ableton? I would like to use the scenes as songs. Each scene is a song with his backing tracks and click track. In the scene which I'm creating now, I use two audio clips. First clip has to start at measure 1 and the other clip at mea...
