Ableton Forum

I use Ableton for live performance. It holds my clips, tracks, and vst’s which I play with a midi keyboard (No surprises), but whenever I try to run a guitar or mic through an amp or vocal effects, the latency is pretty unworkable, even while dragging the buffer down to a safe spot of 256 (or scaril...

Hello people. As you might know, macOS has a panel for configuring hardware devices for audio and midi called Audio midi setup. There you make aggregate devices and arrange clock sources and audio in/outputs in various forms. The options are endless, and different configurations give different level...

I'm trying too figure out my Roland Boutiques setup with Ableton, in my MacBook Pro. It's tricky and very inconsistent. Glitches, distortion, and a drifting clock. I'm curious as the difference in the different places to adjust delay compensation. There's a slider in every track, there's a clock sli...

Hi people. So im preparing for a live show this weekend. I play full instrumental tracks with most instruments as clips, and over that we sing and add extra real time instruments. I warp the songs so that I can blend them together since its all about the same bpm and its dance oriented music (Housey...

Here as well. I can be playing my midi keyboard for an extended piano practice, and it plays fine through Ableton even as the screen goes to sleep, and when I try to wake it up, it crashes.... and the screen stays dark.
And I've got a live performance soon... :[

Ok, so I installed version 10 and have been using for a while. Everything works. All projects have been moved. I'm ready to free up some space and remove version 9. What can I delete without messing up Live 10. The new version is digging into various previously installed packs and stuff. Don't wanna...

I got no love from this post.
Still looking for solutions for clearing and lightening my projects folder without messing things up too much. It's not that easy keeping track of all audio files which can come from different places and end up in different locations.
so if anyone wants to pitch in....

Hello.
Guitar player for years, producing more on the dance vein but want to incorporate my guitars. Need ideas or direction with racks for turning a fender into something more synthy, weirder, techno perhaps.

Ideas por favor

Yo!
My Mac is running a little tight on space.
What’s the best approach to keep projects as light as possible. I record many vocal parts and many get chopped and only some parts are really used. Is the ‘manage files‘ along with collect files the best way to go about it?

Hello,
I have an old Axiom 49 midi keyboard that has a broken pitchblende wheel. Its a pile of garbage unless im able to disable it. haven't had much much by doing it in the controller so I thought that maybe there's a midi tool that can help me force the notes in tune.

Any ideas?

Hello, buenos dias. Looking for different ways of collecting third party synth presets without having to create groups. I often dedicate some time during my week to just browse my favorite synths preset folders and in various notebooks and pieces of paper I write down interesting sounds that I might...

If I update my 9 suite to the standard 10, will I be loosing some goods along the way? Is it a downgrade?

Slowly thinking Catalina.

Hello. just recently reinstalled Ableton in a new Mac. As I'm getting things up to date I noticed that my Live 9 download included in the browser the "drums" tab, and in it what appears to be the old "drum machines". Yet in the packs section on their website, there still is the d...

I used to have all my samples and the EIC collection in my MBP when I was running live 8, but since upgrading to 9 i noticed the size of the packs to be way bigger. I'm thinking about installing those extras in an external drive. Is this recommended? Where should I instruct Ableton to find the new l...
