Ableton Forum

Is it just me or does anybody else get the feeling that these 'version' upgrades are happening a little too frequently?
I mean, you buy Live, get one or to improvements in the app then they change the version number and you've got to fork out more money.
How long was 5 out for Christ's sake and now ...

I think there's a couple of Ableton templates in the factory set ups that come pre-installed. If not I'm sure they're at the Novation site for download.
They're a good place to start, but after a while you'll probably adapt them to your way of working or create your own from scratch.

One think I ...

It's all in the manual buddy.
try page 70- exporting audio and page 202- recording automation for starters.
If Delta didn't come with the full manual, go to the downloads page on this site and get the Live 4 Demo version.
The manual is quite well written compared to most and should answer most of ...

It's all good and well worth knowing as much theory as you can handle. Just remember to forget it sometimes and listen to the sound of what you're hearing, and being aware on more than a theoretical/cerebral level of what you're experiencing.
Names and numbers are cool, but music is more that just ...

yeah, could be handy for keeping things tidy. a 'disable scene trigger' option in the clip properties->trigger mode.
go stick it in 'wishlist' if you ain't already.

I don't know why you don't put that clip on scene 'whatever', a scene you may not even trigger but just use to house the clip (say scene 10b). trigger scene 1, then, having assign said clip to midi note, trigger it when you want. It doesn't need to be in currently playing scene.

If that doesn't ...

There's an old saying- 'You can't polish a turd'.
I've spent hours trying to compress, eq etc. a bad sound into a good one until I've realised the only solution is to ditch the sound and source a better one.

In my experience having a good choice of sounds to begin with can save many headaches when ...

C'mon guys, think outside the square. Enough of this ..... jockey shite. The post DJ era is dawning. What about 'Lapist', 'Topper', 'Streamer' or 'HD' (Hard Driver)? or even 'Mousician'. hehe

Yeah, you could form a duo with an MC by the name of Bear.
'Bi-Jay and the Bear' and go on to make some lame 80's style T.V. series.

Have you tried incresing the buffer on your sound card? That would be my first move.

hey ben,
where you from? Australia?
I'm in Melbourne and would be interested in seeing if I can construct some crazy controller myself. Maybe we could compare notes?
Cheers,
Colin

Yeah, Melbourne's not bad if you're into:
a/ most vibrant music scene in the country.
b/ best food in the country
c/ best coffee in the country
d/ paying half the rent than you would in Sydney for equivalent dwelling
e/ the only state that had a majority vote in favour of Oz becoming a republic.
f ...

I'm a breaks artist based in Melbourne.
I'll be heading up to Brizzy on the 17th for a 'holiday' and a gig on the 23rd at a club called 'Milk Bar'.
The night will feature myself (Scrambler) doing a live set using Ableton Live and the Novation Remote 25. Also on the bill are Keltec and Mangan, two ...

on important stuff that doesn't have to be done on the fly I use dedicated time compression progarm like serato pitch and time or even the one in Wavelab, then pull it into Live.

I don't think Live's stength is it's top quality time compression, it's that it's such an intuitive app and can do some ...

Two things:
1/ I think the CPU meter in Live relates to the % of resources that have been allocated to Live that are being used, not Live's % usage of overall available resources on your machine. That would explain the difference.

2/ I had Live 4.0 and Live 4.1.1 installed at the same time. Thing ...
