Is there no way to just detect a tempo from an improvisation?
I would listen back to it and count along.

Re: Android availability?

Are people still complaining about the lack of music app development for android? Don’t they get it?

Yeah… choke groups are your issue. Or rather, that’s the reason behind what you’re experiencing.

Read up in the manual. Everything is working as it ...

Re: Some midi notes are not sounding


Hi, I'm a month and a half into learning Ableton. I'm laying out drum patterns and sometimes the notes don't work (ex: hi hat). It only plays when I remove other notes on the timing grid.

I also have the same problem using this:

Re: Differences between trial version and full versions?


I seem to be able to save and export, for 90 days apparently.

Just curious which version it is I'm trialing as it's not very clear!


I think you can trial any of the versions... Suite has significantly more content. Do you have wavetable? If so, you’re on Suite.

All versions are 20% off (and ...

a warping question...

What determines how warping is applied when dropping a sample onto an audio track?

I have a sample - a little drum break from the intro of a song. As it stands, there's a bit of empty space at the top of the sample, then a four bar break, then the vocals come in. So, the break is topped and tailed ...

He's got a point though. Think about all the music that was ever recorded by any percussionist ever, prior to the availability of Beats by Dre. Completely devoid of feel...

Thanks. This was what I needed to understand, that essential difference between a synth oscillator and a sample.

Re: how to make a beat synced retrigger in simpler

Ok, after playing around more I juuuust about get it. The envelope loop behaviour doesn't retrigger the sample like I imagined it should. It's much more complex than that, which is obviously great if you need something complex and aren't doing something that is best achieved with the arpeggiator ...

Re: how to make a beat synced retrigger in simpler

Yeah, I understand that it’s separate from the character of the sample as defined by the front window, but the manual refers to the following:

From 24.8.4

“ The Amplitude Envelope can be looped via the Loop chooser. For Loop and Trigger modes, if a note is still held when the Decay stage ends, the ...

Re: how to make a beat synced retrigger in simpler

Thanks for your answer, and that does indeed achieve the right effect, but is it possible solely within simpler though?

What are those simpler amp envelope options for?

how to make a beat synced retrigger in simpler

hi

I want to be able to have a sample retrigger on, for example, 16ths, (relative to the bpm) as I hold down a drum pad or key. So it'll be responding the midi note on and then triggering the start of the sample every 16th, regardless of its duration, until it gets a note off message.

I would like ...

Re: Audio imports have extremely high gain and look clipped

Turn down the gun in the sample editor maybe? If the source material isn’t clipped then that should solve it.
