Slip of the finger ...........

Thank you, after 47 views I was beginning to think it was a secret...
I am grateful

What the hell is "PDC"?
Is it "delay compensation" or what .....can't find it in Live 5 manual.
I just want to turn it off in the hope my MIDI playback will include the first bar of the clips.
Thanks

I have no work around, but most of the time the midi count in of my sequences doesnt play .... The music still runs in normal time but you cant hear the Hi Hat for the first four beats. More surprising still is that sometimes, though rarely, the count is there, and I am at a loss to explain why. I ...

So you are hearing blank time where the hihat should be,
Yes I am hearing blank where the hi hat should be.
The instrument playing the Hi Hat is the drum kit on "Gigastudio", which on the odd occasion has worked with the playing of the first file only... so the application is capable of instant ...

Hi,
I only use MIDI files with Ableton 5, and each file has a hi hat count in.
For some reason they all start playing just after the Hi hat count, which is rendered inaudable .
How do you get the file to play from the start?, (including the hi hat count)
Is there some sort of delay that can be ...

Hi,
I only use MIDI files with Ableton 5, and for some reason they all start playing just after the Hi hat count which is part of the file. How do you get the file to play from the start?, and also I want to get the counter to reset to zero at the start of each new file.
Any comment gratefully ...

you just have to use a new clip - not that hard really - if you're in arrange just ctrl-E to split it then give the new one the new PC

I have one PC at the beginning of the clip, and a different one at the end.
When you say split and create a new clip, how do you remove the first PC from the ...

A small problem,
I play midi files direct from Ableton Live, to my sound source which is Gigastudio, and they work fine with one exception, the count in .
When I load a live set, the first file will play correctly with the Hi hat count, but every subsequent file seems to start immediately after the ...

I know, I know,'
Some of the guns here want to move on, but there are thousands of us that just want our existing midi files to work as they did. I have occasion to use two or more "program changes" on the same midi channel, and live unfortunately only allows one.(Even then it is only at the ...

Well no I'm not kidding .... I'm new at this and I'm just hoping for rational replies that don't just bag the product. You obviously don't know how to work around this so your post isn't helping. This "Toy" as you put it is being used by some very savvy people, and I'm sure one of them will ...

Hi,
On my previous sequencer I had a particular track that sent out control changes to multiple channels. How do you do this in Ablton live?
There does not appear to be any option for this.
Thanks

Thanks Klarky,
I'm just after an answer on any part of the above.

Ableton Live, and my wish list.

Pre - Ableton
I want to use keystrokes for everything. (no mouse)
Record all my sequences as MP3s
Song construction in my present sequencer is pattern based, therefore I need to be able to set up clips, named as “Title” then “Intro” followed by “1st Verse” etc etc ...

Hi to all,
Has anyone managed to get Ab live working with Gigastudio as the slave?, and if so ....how?
Thanks in advance for any comment
