EOF error

I loaded up a Live session and got an error saying one of my audio clips had an end of file error. Where the clip had been now just had a placeholder. I replaced it (copy/pasted) with the same file from my hard drive. It now plays as expected.

Any idea why this would happen? I’ve got this session ...

How to commit audio effects

I’ve got some audio tracks that I want to apply a destructive eq to.

In Pro Tools I do this all the time with audio suite plugins. You select a clip(s), pick a plugin and click “render”. Is there a way to this in Live?

Audio cutting out and off time

I'm using Live and a Behringer X32 with Dante for backing tracks. I'm running my session off an external SSD drive and using a MacBook Air.

Over the past week or so audio has been completely cutting out. Often it will resume after a few seconds. Sometimes my tracks will be off time from my click ...

Validating Ableton Live

I have an IEM rig setup with tracks running from Live. I’ve got a MacBook and router so everyone in my band can adjust their IEM mixes via mobile apps. Earlier today I was starting up my Live and a pop up window came up saying ‘Verifying Ableton Live’. A progress bar started and finished. But then ...

Audio Preferences - workaround?

I'm running Live on my MacBook Air with a Dante audio interface (Behringer X32 rack).

If I open Live without my interface connected it defaults to system audio. That's not surprising to me.

My problem is when I connect up to the interface again it stays on the system audio setting in preferences ...

Re: midi playback on arrangement view vs. session view


Oh no... I totally forgot Max for Live isn't built into all versions of Live! I have the Suite, I thought at least the Standard edition had it too. :( Gaaah... Sorry about the disappointment!

I don't know if there's a trial version of Max you could install temporarily to test it?


No worries, I ...

Re: midi playback on arrangement view vs. session view



No, it doesn't receive MIDI, it only sends MIDI to the Kemper (if it's on a track that is set to export to the Kemper's MIDI port and channel, of course).*

You can control your Kemper manually using the buttons and sliders on the device, but its strength is in automation. If you tell Live to ...

Re: midi playback on arrangement view vs. session view


I don't know if it's any use to you, but I made a Max4Live device specifically for controlling the Kemper in Performance Mode. It handles all those Program Changes for you and makes them easily programmable from the track automation lanes.

I've never used it in Session View, though -- it works ...

What was the solution, so others can benefit from it too?
Sorry, just saw this. I believe it was just a simple error I was making. Can't remember exactly.

Re: midi playback on arrangement view vs. session view



The consolidated does work in the arrangement view.

I know nothing about the follow command. Can you explain how I would do that? I'm very new to Ableton. :)


Ok that's weird. When you say "consolidate", you mean multiple midi clips with different PCs ?
(Again, you can't set multiple PCs on ...

Re: Arrangement view tempo



However when it goes to a new tempo the global tempo doesn't change


What do you mean? You should have a small red circle at the tempo display, and this should update to the new tempo, causing the playhead to change speed accordingly.
Maybe you've touched the tempo manually and therefore ...

Arrangement view tempo

I have audio clips in arrangement view for backing tracks. I'm using the tempo automation on the master track to change with each song.

However when it goes to a new tempo the global tempo doesn't change and thus the clips aren't lined up with bar lines. They do play at the correct tempo. I have ...
