Re: launching clip at the end of previous clip

it sounds like maybe you need to look at the Quantization Menu options? I think if that's set to 'None', the next clip will trigger immediately, as soon as you trigger it. I don't use Session view that much, but when I have, keeping it set at 1 Bar usually works pretty well. I don't see an option to...

Re: record audio 9/4 loop length in 4/4 time signature project

maybe I’m misunderstanding, but I think there are a couple of ways to manage. you could set your loop points for the 5 beats, record until you’re happy, then do the same for the 3 beat portion. or you could record the full 8 beats and split the clip at beat 5.

Re: Selecting multiple clips - huh?

as weird as this is (very weird), it makes a little bit of sense when you consider how Live’s fundamental design is always about live performance first. if you need to move a section around on the fly (live), it’s much easier to select a clip, and then another clip, and it automatically picks up eve...

Re: Strategies for (re-)organizing projects?

I keep it very simple—either completely finish it or scrap it before I move onto the next thing. the only way I could think to solve my perpetual problem of filling folders with sometimes great ideas that would never see the light of day. most of my working titles are non-sequiturs, which have zero ...

Re: How to start playback from beginning of project?

clicking the stop button will take you back to the start. you can map a key to that to take you back to the beginning of the project.

Re: BPM always at 88.09 on start up.

is this just for new default projects? if so, you probably have that set as the tempo in your default template.

how to select a track (name box) after clicking elsewhere?

is there any way to force the focus to the current track's name box without manually having to click on it with the mouse? here's my conundrum...I have a Stream Deck set up with a number of small macros to rename tracks. it triggers a Ctrl+R to rename, then enters the predefined track names I want (...

Re: Issue With Recording into Ableton

take this with a grain of salt, as I've no familiarity with Apollo interfaces, but I looked up the specs and it says it's got 10 inputs, but your screenshot shows 16...that seems strange to me... have you looked at the I/O settings in the UAD app (assuming it has one), or in Live?

Re: Ableton live support for ARA 2

pitch editing is the last big thing that's lacking in Ableton, for me. I'd settle for ARA 2 support, but would greatly prefer their own proprietary pitch editing, since Melodyne is incredibly clunky, with an awful UI/UX, and prone to artifacts. the new 12 features sound great, but lack of a decent p...

Re: Ableton live support for ARA 2

the more I use Melodyne, the more firmly I wish they'd go into the 'please just build your own proprietary pitch correction into Ableton'. Melodyne is awful to work with, and glitchy as hell. wouldn't be opposed to ARA implementation of course, but I hope they come up with a better solution first, o...

what is this 'basic functionality'? I've been recording music for decades, and have never heard of 'ping'.

Re: WIDTH"W" button question

I figured out you can put the play cursor at the end of the song and press ctrl+shift+end and then ctrl+L to select everything through the end of the song, then right click on the loop brace and delete time. or it sounds like that’s fixed now which means it’s time for me to immediately forget it’s f...
