Re: Ableton slow despite performing PC.
I'd suggest running the task manager processes to see what's using CPU cycles. Windows security has a virus detection process called Antimalware Service Executable that can really slow down the performance of Ableton when loading and running CPU intensive plugins and such. I overcome this by disabli...

Re: How to Record Laptop Audio ?
Without knowing what equipment you're using I'm just guessing. But if you're sending an audio signal to the board from your laptop, that audio signal has to be somehow designated to be routed to the USB output. Otherwise it will not get converted from an analog audio signal to a digital signal for A...

Is There Anything for Me in Ableton 12??
I spent a good deal of time yesterday and today watching videos about the new features of Ableton 12 and I'm struggling with whether there's anything for me to gain in this release. I do a lot of MIDI recording but it's a more traditional studio approach in which I record tracks direct through comme...

Re: How do I Ignore Mouse Clicks when Recording?
If you're talking about mouse clicks when you start recording, just turn on the two measure count in which doesn't start recording until after a 2 measure click is completed.

Re: Ableton native devices to receive CC signal
I'm not sure if this is relevant to what you're trying to do, but there are freeware software standalone apps that can run on the computer such loopMIDI on a PC that you can send a MIDI command out from one of your tracks and it will be returned to Ableton as a remote Ableton command. For example I ...

Re: I want my piano to sound like my piano.
The wording of your questions is a little confusing, but that is to be expected if you’re still learning about using Live. But it’ll help to get some clarification on things. First you mention recording ‘your’ piano. I’m not sure what you mean by this? Do you already have a piano that you use outsi...

Re: I want my piano to sound like my piano.
Recording an actual "live" piano isn't a simple endeavor to make it sound like a real piano in a real room. Professional studios invest a lot of time and effort to achieve such things including a good professional studio room as well as multiple high end mic's. It's pretty much the same pr...

Re: WINDOWS ABLETON LIVE GUI
I'd suggest looking at task manager to see what's all using CPU cycles. You may have some background process running that you aren't aware of.

Re: Ableton vs Reaper @ mix down
In the four years I've been working with Ableton I've never really had any issues with running low on processing or on memory. I don't run a super fast gaming machine either. It's just a standard Windows 10 system with 16gb of memory with an Intel i7 processor at 3.4ghz. It would probably be conside...

Re: Changing Presets via Midi in Quad Cortex from Ableton
Here's my simplified approach which works easily and consistently with automating my Helix and the lighting system, but it should work with your Quad as well. I use a separate MIDI controller pedalboard which is a Morningstar MC8, but most MIDI pedalboards should work fine. Within my Ableton project...

Re: Getting Crackles and Pops Despite *Significantly* Higher Buffer Than I Have to Use in Other DAWs?
It sounds to me that your pops and crackles are coming from the playback side and not the record side of your processing. Without knowing a bit more about what your recording situation is it's going to be hard to guess at where the problem might be. It's one thing to have a project with a lot of rec...

Re: So... Live on Linux?
Yeah, I'm not saying it's ready for release but clearly they've Live (& Max For Live) running on Linux right now and have to maintain it in parallel with Windows & macOS versions, so why not release it? I know literally many people who moved to Bitwig only because of Linux support (and then...

Re: How to fit my BPM to my guitar
I have a small phone app that allows me to tap out a beat and it calculates my BPM. Unfortunately there's really no good workaround to establishing your BPM as a first step in recording if you want everything to work smoothly. Matching tempo to your guitar will be flaky at best since it's not very l...

Re: Program Change during music
The way I do this is I have a separate dedicated MIDI footpedal controller (Morningstar MC8) which does all the MIDI heavy lifting with the different devices. Each song has a dedicated bank in the MC8 which contains all the MIDI controls PC or CC to control the various devices for that song and is a...
