Hi problem here. Live 11 doesn't see my externa drive anymore. can't load any of my samples, Kontakt not seeing libraries. Someone told me somehtong about renaming my external drive, but if anyone could tell me exactly, precisely what I have to do to fix this situation, that would be great. I'm on W...

Here's the deal. When I program drums, I load each separate percussion sample into instances of Simpler on separate midi tracks. I want to use specific pads on a Novation Launchpad Mini to trigger those samples in those specific midi tracks. How do I map a specific pad to a specific midi track in Ab...

Hi I'm trying to use an AKAI MPD218 in Live 11 Standard and the pads aren't matching up to the right notes/ For example, the 1st pad on the lower left is supposed to correspond to C1, but it corresponds to C#1. and vice versa, and the rest of the pads seem totally random. I thought it was supposed t...

Hi, how do I collapses the two panes to the left of the Piano Roll?

Thanks.

Akai MPD218: I'm trying to use Note Repeat but it doesn't work. I've followed how to set it up on the unit via Akai's manual. I've watched several videos. The unit shows that I'm set to external clock. I know that Ableton has to be in PLAY or RECORD mode for note repeat to actually work. Still, Noth...

After a Windows 10 update I'm missing the options.text file where I want to put -NoVstStartupScan so that Ableton doesn't scan my Plugins every time I open it. I've searched for quite a while for an answer, but it's like trying to find the Vatican secrets. Here's the filepath I'm in: Users > Me> App...

Hey people, NOOB question about Simpler. I'm sure there's a completely un-intuituive way to do this, but I wasn't able to find an answer after two hours of searching. So thanks in advance. And please have mercy. I'm totally new at this game. I'm learning to work with samples in SIMPLER (Windows). I'...

New Ableton Live 11 user here. Thanks in advance for any help. USER LIBRARY QUESTION: As far as USER LIBRARY use is concerned - is there any way I can drag or drop or send a shorcut to sounds that I frequently use to sub-folders in the USER LIRBARY? For Example: in my USER LIBRARY, I have a folder c...

Ableton 11. How do I group audio clips in arrangement view? Like I have 3 kick drums, and I want to group them so I can copy-paste them all at once.

I googled this, and all i found was how to group Tracks lol!! Really?

Simple NOOB questions:

1) I can't hear an audio clip I've recorded. What am I doing wrong?

I'd attach a screenshot if I could figure out how do it as well. Annoying.

OK so I created a midi clip in piano roll, then I recorded that to a midi track in arrangement view, then I did what I thought I was supposed to do to bounce that midi clip to audio, which is right click on it, freeze it,, then drag it to an audio track. I did all that, and I can't hear it. I'm find...

OK, newbie here. Ableton Live11 Standard, Windows. I'm using an Akai MPD218 in Ableton. I have a Drumkit set up on a midi track, and the pads work just fine on that track. But When I try to record, there's no sound and no midi notes are recorded in piano roll. A red and white circle also appears ove...

Resolved it with the whole 'Options.text' file thing.

And now I'm getting a white screen of death. Gonna do a system restore. The hell with this.

Windows 10 Laptop, i7 Purchased upgrade from Live Standard. 9.7.7 to Live 11 Standard. Followed Installation instructions on Ableton site to the letter and it seemed to go fine. Been an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. Whenever I open 11, it takes forever to initialize. When it finally does open, if I click anyw...
