Ableton Forum

Thanks for the reply from the three of you. I've done searches for 'virtual midi buses" and "midi yoke" and I'm not coming up with anything.

Surprising that I always come up with something no one seems to do.

I just need to press a button and have it do multiple things at once--things
more ...

Hi there,

This might be an obvious question but I've searched the manual high and low.
Also, a guy at Guitar Center said "Yeah, what you want to do is possible. Can't
remember how you do it though." Classic.

Here it is:

Is it possible to midi-map a button and make it trigger of simulteneous ...

Tried setting the buffer size but it doesn't seem to help in the long run.

If by "setting it to more than 512m ms" you mean to set it to more than 512 samples,
thereby altering the input/output latency (ms), that DOES help but then it renders me
incapable of recording in sync because the latency ...

This is so painful.

I'm spending 4 times as long as I used to when writing a song. I am continually
freezing tracks and then allowing myself to record. Even with tons of tracks
frozen the CPU is in the 70s and beyond and I'm getting intermittent crackles.
What a destroyer of my creative flow this ...

Can it really be so? After years of using my M-Audio USB Duo for
recording vocals into live, in version 6 [which I just upgraded to],
while trying to play back only a few tracks with a few FX, it throws my CPU into the 70's and turns it all into glitchy mish-mash.

When I disable the DUO and go ...

I'm taking the stage this friday at CBGB's downstairs lounge.

Everything I do is 100% Vocal based using 100% Ableton Live. Come check it
out and heckle me...

Didn't see anyone mention this one. Curious if you all have the same problem.

In Keyboard Mapping mode, Live 5 allows only certain keys to affectively map to
things. What I mean is, I go in Key Mapping mode, I click on a clip in Live, then a key on my keyboard (it recognizes any key I press at this ...

Interesting indeed...I'll look into that, never thought of that. Thanks...

Anyone? No one uses 2 of the same midi controller?

Alright, how about this more general question.

Do any of you have 2 of the same midi controller and use them both simulteneously within Live?

If so, were you able to just install one driver for them both and Live just recognized them both or was there something more involved...?

Thanks again...

I am chock full of problems these days (couldn't find the answer after searching the manual and this forum)...

I recently stumbled across a second Oxygen 8 Midi Controller. For this performance I'm about to do, I could really use the extra keys for extra buttons/knobs etc.

Since I already have ...

Yeah, it's an optical mouse. It don't believe it to be my mouse pad because the mouse works fine in other applications, just not Live.

I will try to explore the preference settings, never thought those related to my mouse.

Thanks again, I'll let you know what happens...

Anyone experience this one and/or have a solution? In Live, specifically in the arrangement view, my mouse has been freaking out. I click somewhere and it does nothing--then suddenly it flicks a clip here or pulls a volume node there. Really unpredictable. Often my overall view flicks into super ...

Hey, sweetjesus, you mentioned the ability to assign rotary knobs to "position" and "left" paramaters within clip properties. I am still on Live 4 and those settings are not midi-mappable. Is that a new change in Live 5 or am I missing something here? I should also mention I am referring to a vocal ...

Enough trying to explain my all-vocal thing, here it is at:

CARNAUBA WAX is my newest track. Everything recorded/composed/edited in Live. Everything vocal.

Tell me what you all think!!
