Ableton Forum

Tarekith:
- You're the first to tell me straight that what I'm looking for is absolutely *not* offered by Ableton. Thanks for that, but I disagree about any responses in this thread effectively "telling me how to get around it." A timeline is no substitute for a real-time display. Think about it ...

Thanks for the screenshot, but now I feel even more stupid. I don't see any time display on your screen. What am I missing?

Could you possibly be referring to the timeline? If so, that's something completely different. If I click a location on a track, or if I'm playing a composition, a timeline is ...

>For your original question… I use a loop bracket in Arrange view. Loop the tracks, then click the loop bracket to select them all (like you do for an Export). Once you move your mouse pointer off the loop bracket, the start/end bars and duration will display at the bottom left of the screen ...

I've just been trying various ways to embed a screen capture to show jur what I'm seeing.

I think I've finally figured out what the forum software is looking for: embedding an image seems to require submitting it to to some third-party image-server application that then uploads it to the cloud ...

Thanks, jur. I wouldn't have thought of that.

But even that doesn't work. I just get a pop-up with selections like "Time" (which was already checked), and various frame rates. Those selections just change the units on the timeline -- nothing to do, seemingly, with displaying the time of the current ...

When playing a track, how do you display the current time position in Arrangement View? I'm looking for conventional hh:mm:ss type format, not measures:beats.

This question has been asked many times on the forum, and the answer is always "It's at the bottom of the screen."

Uh, not my screen.

I've ...

Just wanted to get back with my final comments on this topic.

I found an excellent beginner's tutorial series on YouTube by a young influencer named Taetro. It's ad-supported and has about 250,000 followers. Other than the first segment, which omits a few (but only a few) comments necessary to ...

jur: Thanks for the quick reply. I'd looked in the past for that "Lessons" option, only to find that it no longer existed in Live 11. Your message got me looking more deeply, though, and I noticed that there is now a "built-in lessons" link at the bottom of Live's Help View.

So I went through the ...

I've been trying to learn Ableton Live 11 for a month (Win 10 PC), but after going through a bunch of YouTube tutorials (scattershot b/c most assume that viewers already know certain features and a true beginner quickly gets lost trying to figure out the functionality that is skipped), contacting ...

Right now, I'm using the default Microsoft GM synth as an instrument, so there is something in place.

But apparently that synth doesn't count. When I loaded one of Live's loaded instruments, the volume button popped up. I wouldn't have guessed that.

Thanks Greenapples! Problem solved (I think).

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I haven't been able to find anything on-point online or in the manuals.

I'm trying to mix and master an IMPORTED composition that includes both MIDI and audio tracks. Arrangement View works as expected for the audio tracks, using console-like ...

***RESOLUTION***

I finally contacted Ableton support and received a recommendation that I switch to a multi-client driver. I installed FlexASIO and that seems to have solved the problem.

Close call -- I almost wound up buying a new interface, per earlier recommendations on this thread, until I ...

One thing I forgot to mention is that I cured a similar problem with Tidal last year. After launching Tidal, no other application on my machine could produce audio output until I rebooted. I solved the problem by setting Tidal to NOT take exclusive control of my audio interface.

I see that this ...

Not sure if this is the whole story. As the original poster mentioned, this problem begins when launching Ableton, but does not end when Ableton is closed. Also, the issue isn't limited to playing audio from two applications simultaneously. It happens when attempting to play audio from an ...
