Re: Live 12 + MacBook Air?

Thank you so much! Do you have to use a USB hub, and if so what’s working for you? They are pricey. I think I only need one with three usb c inputs.

Live 12 + MacBook Air?

I accidentally wrecked my MacBook Pro, and I’m wondering what people think about running Live 12 on a brand new MacBook Air M4 chip/ 16GB? My MacBook Pro M3 was very efficient and Live 12 CPU usage was never more than about 15%. Any advice would be helpful. I use a lot of plug ins but my sessions ...

session plays two takes lanes in comp simultaneously

Hi Guys,
I'm trying comp a piano track in Live 12.2.2, but for some reason it's playing back both the old take and the edited section from the new take lane at the same time. Do I need to change a setting, or is there any advice anyone can give? The issue just started yesterday and I've never had it ...

Re: Clip postion on timeline?

Thanks for responding. I think I'd inadvertently turned on swing 16s in the clip menu.

Clip postion on timeline?

Hi Guys, for some reason I'm having trouble positioning a clip correctly in Live 12. I've manually placed the clip on the time line grid at 101, and it ends at 116. However when I try to type the right starting position on the clip menu, it won't let me do it. It keeps reseting the start point in ...

Song Sketch

Hi Guys,
Does the M4L device called Song Sketch still exist? I watched a great video about it but I'm not able to find it in my Live library. Thanks for reading.

Without knowing what the material you're making/editing is like, I don't really have suggestions.
I'm just working on an acoustic rhythm guitar track and trying to fix a few strums that are off tempo

Re: Editing individual audio transits with Warp





Hold cmd (or PC equivalent) while hovering over the transient and you'll see another 2 markers appear either side of it. Creating a warp marker this way leaves affects only the transient section and keeps the rest locked in place.


Thanks again for responding. Do you have any solutions for ...

Re: Editing individual audio transits with Warp



Every warp command I've tried moves the entire audio clip rather than just the small area around a single transient. Is there a way to do this?

Editing individual audio transits with Warp

I'm trying to tidy up an audio recording of acoustic guitar, and I'd like to manually align a few individual off tempo transients to the grid. Is there an easy way to do this? Every warp command I've tried moves the entire audio clip rather than just the small area around a single transient. Is ...

Re: Random glitches and dropouts in audio track

ISSUE RESOLVED: In case anyone else is having this issue, the Ableton support team recommended that I reset Live, which completely resolved the issue. There’s an instructional video on YouTube which explains how to do this with a few simple steps.

Random glitches and dropouts in audio track

I've been hearing random tiny glitches and dropouts in my recorded audio tracks during playback for the last two days. It happens throughout the track in particular spots, but after 20 listens, it seems to happen or not happen in these spots randomly. When I hear it and then try to replay it in the ...

Audio editing with warp feature

How do I use audio warping to move just a select few off- tempo guitar strums? Most of the videos I’ve watched about warping focus on warping a sample to fit a beat, etc. I’m just trying to clean up a messy guitar part for a guitar and vocal song demo at the moment. Also does anyone have an opinion ...
