I recorded samples of my flamenco guitar and created a soundfont with Polyphone. The SF2 file works nicely in Plogue's Sforzando player. But whenever I drop my (or any) SF2 file into a MIDI or Audio track in Ableton Live Lite v11.3.13, I get the following message, which refers to Live's already ...

I ran a search for Tag, Metatag and Metadata in the manual as well as look in the index. Nothing is found. Does Ableton Live 11 not support adding and editing metatags in an imported MP3 audio file , such as copyright info, artist name etc.?

That worked. Thanks.

The Focusrite ASIO driver does not support playback through any sound system connected to the soundcard on your computer. This fact is seems to be well hidden, but I managed to confirm this in a session with a support tech at Focusrite. The only way to play back a recording with the Scarlett ...

I can record OK with ASIO4ALL as the audio device; but to play back a recording, I must switch to MME/DirectX. I would like to play back a recording without having to reconfigure the audio setup each time. In the audio setup, I have my system's "Realtek HD" as the output (works in all other apps ...

Thanks for responding. I'm using Ableton Live v11.3.13 Build 2023-10-17. My USB interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Gen., with the latest driver, v.4.119.13_33.

Because I experience no difficulty with record and playback when using Audacity but cannot do the same with Ableton--without having ...

I think I figured out the problem: Ableton Live 11 that came bundled with the Focusite is not fully compatible with the USB interface. Maybe someone in the marketing department has been smoking too much weed!

In my setup, both "Input" and "Output" buffer sizes must be configured. Since the Test Tone option in Ableton 11 for me is unreliable (audio quality is degraded in recording, despite setting lowest buffer size that gives a clean, sustaining test tone), I understand that experimentation is required ...

Ouch! If I have not been courteous to anyone, please point out where; so that I can apologize and learn from my mistakes.

Never mind. I figured it out. Disable long warp in Preferences or freeze the track, which will allow changing tempo, without changing its length. Truly, teaching is a lost art.

I need the missing step 3 below.

1. Right-click in the Tempo field (top left)
-> select "Show Automation."

2. Click above the broken orange line in the
the Master track below and drag horizontally
to highlight a region.

3. ???

4. Hover mouse over the broken orange line,
until it turns blue ...

I have viewed at least 10 Youtube tutorials on how to "easily" change the tempo, and none of them use the Sample Editor, where the Warp control is accessible. But yes, I did try changing the tempo of an audio clip in the Editor, with Warp enabled. But this option is totally lame as INCREASING the ...

Have you run a search for the files, using a third-party search app, like UltraSearch that does a better job of finding files (and much faster)? If you use a file manager, you may have accidentally moved the missing files to another subdirectory. If you do not have a good File Recovery program, you ...

Are you saving to a custom location or using the native folder under "Documents"?

I want to change the tempo of an audio clip, which I find is extremely difficult in Ableton. The manual is, as expected, useless. Can someone lend a hand and point out what I am overlooking in the steps below?

1. Arangement view -> drag & drop
audio clip into an Audio track at
right. The track will ...
