One thing I've never understood -- as in literally, I don't understand the underlying technology well enough -- is why Cakewalk instruments (Dimension Pro, Rapture, and now Z3TA+ 2 as well) apparently cannot be automated in Ableton Live. Could someone explain why, why not, and/or what I might be ...

I just got my Abes Suite Box. No Stickers? :cry:

I'm 99% certain that direct purchases from Ableton of boxed product are delivered without serial number stickers. At least that's how it worked for me when I bought it.

Instead, the serials are in your online account. Log into the Ableton web ...

just move the loop brace to the end of the held note, and keep the start marker where it is.

In retrospect? Duh! Yeah, that was the magic answer, even if not quite correctly stated.

OK, maybe this is a dumb question... Actually two related questions... But is it possible to "wrap" notes in a MIDI loop?

Perfection. Worked like a champ -- including snapping to the exact amount of blank space I needed. They fold together perfectly!

Thanks for the quick answer.

hmmm, so you think my sound card really is the problem? and the only solution would be to buy a new one?

I might have missed it, but what are you using for a sound card? What's on the computer, or do you already have a decent multichannel audio interface?

My best guess is that you don't have a ...

OK, standard disclaimer about being a newb...

I have two vocals recorded, one male, one female, for a chorus. Each of them says a few words, breaks, says a few more, breaks, etc. The intent was to alternate them male/female/male/female. Good enough.

But the loops are basically recorded the same in ...
