Ableton Forum

Hi, I wanted a way to control Live with a phone over a wireless network so that an audience could influence a performance. I used a few difference technologies and ended up hosting a php script in a local webserver which sends OSC messages to OSCulator, which then generates MIDI for Ableton to consu...

Hey could any very nice person out there help me in figuring out how to use the FCB1010 to switch tracks in Ableton? Basically I have a about 5 soft synths from track one to five and want to use the FCB to switch tracks. I've managed to get it turning on/off tracks but not independently selecting t...

Hi, I've just assembled an album yesterday. It's made from my last year of experimentation in Ableton and Mainstage - my favorites out of hundreds of little sessions. 29 tracks in about 30 minutes. The final assembling and performance was done in Ableton, using filters, eq and the M4l freeze patch f...

"smoke a bunch of dope"
Bad advice. You will end up wasting time, getting lost and losing your train of thought.

>>Would you like to buy/sell Ableton Sets?
You should probably be paying people for responding to your market research questions.

I've been using a set as a basis for all of my performances. It has a bunch of instruments racked up. 3 Loopers and a lot of other stuff in it. Now the loopers are misbehaving and the set takes about 1 minute to save. Does anyone know of a way to 'clean up'? Not looking forward to rebuilding it sinc...

Did you set your midi input as 'remote' in Preferences/MIDI Sync/Ports ?

"I'm looking for a overall sound similar to the postal service" He uses mostly electronic beats which are heavily edited in a tasteful manner - so you'd probably want to mix your drum beats down and do some slicing - or you could use the beat repeater or supatrigger to get some approximati...

Try to separate some time for creating sounds - finding your favorite drum kits and synths. I wish Ableton had some kind of favorite or tagging system for that. Set up a few different sessions with different sounds and get lost in exploring presets and creating your own macro knob mappings. Make sur...
