Hi there,

for quite a while I’ve noticed some inconsistent behavior when using tools like the Arpeggiator, and today I finally figured out why. Did you know about this? Is this a bug or a feature?

For example, if I use the Arpeggiator with a short, transient sound and set the sync rate to ...

The MIDI Note opens the gate for the scratch sound to come through, there's more videos on the product page.

Just stumbled upon this and wanted to post it here - then I saw that you already did. Awesome!

In the demo videos, I saw that they're using midi notes to trigger the scratches.
Is this the only way ...

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an alternative way of using my DJ Controller within Ableton, perhaps with a VST plugin?
In this case, I'm not intending to use the DJ controller to play sets, but to simply record scratches of audio files.

The way I'm currently doing it is like this:
1) Open up ...

A very basic setting, yet easily overlooked.

Since upgrading to Ableton 12, I've had the issue that Ableton was lagging horribly on random occasions.

I could have a session with no performance problems, but then, out of the blue, after doing any button-/click-based action (freezing tracks, saving ...

I don't own XO.
But yeah I get what you're saying.

On a different note, Auto Tagging User Content is now a thing: https://www.ableton.com/de/release-notes/live-12-beta/

Yes, sound similarity and tagging are two distinct features. I think both could be done better.

I just think that the execution of sound similarity by XLN Audio is done better, as similar sounds are more visually apparent.

And the issue I see with tagging is that you have to do it yourself. I have ...

I know there already is a sound similarity search feature built-in Ableton, but especially with the new update, it could be made much more powerful.

XO by XLN Audio is a great example for perfect execution in this matter. I think this would enhance the workflow of Ableton, like, infinitely.

It ...

Update: I worked my way around the issue and rendered the remaining tracks with the option 'selected tracks only'.

Hello folks,

so I'm trying to export the multitracks of my song for mixing, and I'm encountering the problem that only some of my tracks are being exported. Out of 58 total tracks, 44 are being rendered just as expected, and 14 are being rendered as muted .wav files. However, when I export it as a ...

Hello,

is it possible to pre-trigger slices in slice mode?

Say, I have a break beat chopped up in 1/4th division in slice mode. Can I "force" Ableton to only actually play/snap the samples in that 1/4th grid? Say, I trigger two slices with my midi keyboard in an 1/8th rythm, but Ableton plays it ...

Okay, so I don't know why this didn't work earlier, but it seems like simply turning the said preset-effect on/off seems to do the trick.

Load Preset/Audio Effect Rack with Waves plugins -> Plugin windows pop up by default & Plugins are activated -> Plugins not working -> Deactive and then ...

Hi!

So I've set up some heatloaded presets within Waves plugins as well as in the Audio Effect Rack with Waves plugins. Both face the same problem: the Waves plugins are not working, when I load them as presets or within Audio Effect Rack-Presets. They just pass the audio through, as if the effect ...

I’d maybe try the latest beta. They have been working out some kinks with the latest update of Live that have been causing Live to have huge issues on apple computers with dropdown menus etc.

I don’t have automatic updates on and kinda didn’t update when that one came out and have lucked out ...

So I tried switching to .wav, and the same error occurs: I open up Ableton, drag & drop the .wav files, edit the podcast, close the application. Upon reopening Ableton, literally any edit makes Live crash (Ableton is not responding, basically freezing).

The only repeating pattern is that it crashes ...
