Ableton Forum

If you're just connecting the audio outputs from the Kawaii into your sound card inputs, you can set Live to work at whatever bit rate you want. 24bits is a good option, you really shouldn't need anything higher for what you're doing.


Thank you! Streaming sites want 24, not 16 and I didn't want ...

Info:

A digital piano (Kawai CA701) states that it records onto a USB device at 16 bit.

I need the final recorded Wav. file to be 24 bit.

If I hook up the digital piano directly to my audio interface (Scarlett 18i8) via jacks/cables and record that digital piano directly into Ableton Live, will ...

No need to close it

Thanks... just didn't want people trying to help me further when I'm onto another thing and posting something else new blah blah...

The wording of your questions is a little confusing, but that is to be expected if you’re still learning about using Live. But it’ll help to get some clarification on things.

First you mention recording ‘your’ piano. I’m not sure what you mean by this? Do you already have a piano that you ...

So I did some Google video searches and I think if you watch enough tutorials and try to follow along and remember the process of several in a row, you might have a basic understanding. I’d recommend watching the vids on a separate device then your music computer just so the screen isn’t busy and ...

In addition to videos and tutorials suggested by others, I recommend reading the chapter on Live Concepts in the online user manual. It might help answer many basic questions.


Thank you. I hadn't got that far yet... was still in Chapter 3 when while following those directions got stuck on the ...

Plug ins are not dropped into the clips you see in session view, they go in the "device view" section, below the mixer, you can drag and drop plugins there.


Thank you. Apparently it doesn't matter where I drag the plug-in as it is some sort of midi file and I am trying to work with an audio ...

Thank you. None of the videos on the upper page helped. I spent 8 hours today just trying to get things to work, and ...

No, you would need some kind of midi controller to play a VST piano. There are some audio to MIDI apps out there, but they are probably not accurate enough for what you are looking for.

Thank you! Saved me a lot of time researching.

2 weeks ago I asked if I could record my actual acoustic piano into Ableton. After many posts it was decided that I was wording my question wrong and confusing everyone for which I'm sorry about.

I did finally get an answer to my original question and directions on how to record my actual living ...

Oh, I just looked at the ones on top and assumed they were for people who already know how to use the program.

I see the noob stuff is down below. Thank you!

I'm going to print what you have written out.

I understand now where the confusion came from. I was using words that mean one thing to normal people and something different to everyone else I have asked help of over the past month. I'm glad I'm getting on the right page with the terminology. I ...

Recording an actual "live" piano isn't a simple endeavor to make it sound like a real piano in a real room. Professional studios invest a lot of time and effort to achieve such things including a good professional studio room as well as multiple high end mic's. It's pretty much the same process ...

Can I record my acoustic piano into Ableton Live Suite 11 (Trial Version) and have my new recording actually sound like MY piano.



Your question is confusing...

2. You just want to record you playing the piano in Ableton Live. Put 2 microphones on the piano, in your audio interface, and hit ...
