Re: Question about midi note programming

Well, I figured overlapping notes was impossible in AL, so what I had to do was map the same drum to a different key in the vst, then copy the notes from the original to the new key. Then I just offset them a bit on the timeline and adjusted the velocity a little different from the original. And bec...

Question about midi note programming

To anyone who has extensive experience in midi editing. Is there a way in AL to play the same note twice at roughly the same time, but with a little offset and 2 different velocities? For example, I have a keyboard key mapped to a specific drum in a drum set vst but I want it to sound like 2 sticks ...

Provide a way to not install Ableton Push driver and control panel

I don't own one and will never own one, so can you please add an option in the installer to prevent it from getting installed? Currently, you have to disable via Windows and some registry hacks, so kind of a pain. Thanks

Why is plugin management so terrible on Windows?

It seems like every time I update to a new version of Live, my plugins don't appear in the Plugins group in the browser. This is just getting a bit ridiculous. Did something change again? The only way I'm able to load all my plugins on Windows, is if I create shortcuts to folders and put them in the...

Re: A kill switch for all audio effects

Ableton could use a kill switch for all audio effects. When you stop a track with an effect such as a reverb or a delay with a long tail, the sound can go on forever if you have a high delay time or a feedback....stuff like that. It would be nice to be able to stop all the audio from those effects ...

Yes, but some of the features people ask for would make Live more streamlined than it is now. So, there's that too

Freeze Groups/Selected tracks

With freeze and flatten being such a good feature, I'm surprised that it doesn't apply to groups or highlighted tracks. Unfortunately, to be able to freeze a group, you have to apply a hack using sidechaining (or use a paid max4live device). I'd really like to be able to highlight a subset of tracks...

Re: Do unused plugins slow me down?

This may be a dumb question but here goes.... Does having lots plugins affect the performance of my machine/project even if they aren't in use? I have a lot of plugins I have accumulated that don't get used, wondering should I move them out of the plugin folders to a separate "archive" or...

Consolidating and backup up projects

Can someone provide some easy to follow steps on how to consolidate and backup a project so that everything is in one folder that I can move around, and then open up on another machine and have it all work? No matter what I do, I always seem to be missing something. Both machines have the same plugi...

Re: Why do the transients drift off the grid?

Well, I think the issue is based on the drum machine that my friend used. It's fairly old and I think the bpm resolution isn't as good as computers today. Seems weird, because it is a digital machine. But I added a few decimal points to the bpm and the transients stayed on the grid for a lot longer...

Re: Why do the transients drift off the grid?

Just for sh!ts and giggles, I tried 143 bpm, and it was in sync longer but eventually drifted. So is it possible that a digital drum machine's bpm isn't accurate?

Why do the transients drift off the grid?

A friend sent me some stems, and one of them is a stem from the drum machine they used to jam along with. The drum machine was set to 142 bpm. I created a Live project and set the bpm to 142. I then lined up the stem (i.e. clip) so that the first beat (kick transient) was on the grid (warp turned of...

Why isn't Live making its best effort to figure out a stem's tempo

There was a time when I'd drop a wav file in Live and with warping turned on, it would attempt to detect the tempo. This doesn't seem to be working anymore in version 11. A friend of mine sent me a set of stems for a song and provided the tempo (142 bpm). One of the stems is just a recording of a dr...
