Thank you for posting the solution! Went down a rabbit hole of Global Quantization, Fixed Length, and Phase Sync to no avail.

That is correct, 7. You can count them on the piano roll. Mouse-over the key labelled C1, and then count all the keys including the black ones going upward until it says G1.

It sounds like you are selecting a region in Arrangement View and setting that as your loop. This will cause the recording playhead to return to the beginning and overwrite your recording. Try creating a Session Clip that is 8 bars and let that loop instead. When you record your audio track it shoul...

Press the triangle on the Wavetable audio clip and make sure it is green colored to indicate it is playing. The tutorial says double-click it, however, if you had double-clicked the center of the pad then it selects it without actually playing. Which is probably why your not hearing anything since y...

I'm sorry, I don't know how an effect can on yet only target a specific note and not everything else. All I can think of is to isolate the targeted notes to another track. Maybe someone else can come up with something.

Now check your Global Quantization setting. It's in the upper left of Ableton. The button to the right of the Tap/Tempo/Metronome. Make sure it is not None. The default is 1 bar.

The problem is going to be in your Launch settings. Click the yellow icon in the lower left for Show/Hide Launch Box. It's probably Quantization. Make sure it is not 'None'. Set it to Global.

This can be done with Automation. You can toggle the exact points you'd like the Filter Delay -> Device On and Off will be. And any other parameters. It's really powerful.

Slice By Manual might be what you're looking for to selectively choose your slices, then press the Convert button to Drum Rack:

It seems like you don't have a sound output device other than your computer's motherboard soundcard. This can be too taxing on the CPU and is probably causing the lag. I think you need a USB Audio Interface. I use the Focusrite Scarlett Solo. When you plug it in (USB), it will be selectable in Prefe...

If you are just starting off, I would eliminate all the extra hardware to begin with because it is adding complexity and additional possible points of failure. Start off with just getting Ableton to make a midi sound (apologies if you have done this already, you didn't say). In Arrangement View, add...

I dont have this sound interface, but some ideas... - The Cue Master slider is all the way down. - In Windows Sound settings, 1/2 sounds like there might be other selectable outputs like 2/2 or 3/4 ? - Are you using headphones connected to the iD14 to isolate the problem from your monitor amp? - Abl...

What do you mean by not wanting to disable each track one by one when you switch between them? How does switching tracks affect whether they're enabled or not?

I don't know CV Tools, but looking at the description I see this: Use Live as the tempo leader or set it to follow your modular system clock. I think what's happening is you are recording tempo automation changes with your synth but as soon as you hit stop, the synth is telling Ableton to reset the ...

Having you tried changing the Adaptive Grid settings? Right-click the track to change. "Narrow" works well for me.
