Re: error sounds when disabled in pref, annoying!

Mac OS X 10.5.8 Ableton Live Suite 8.1.1 It happens with all sound cards I could test it with, so it's not the hardware. (MOTU UltraLite, M-Audio FW410, internal) to replicate: make a new set, do some stuff to it, hit CMD-S, then hit CDM-S again. or similar: make a new set, select and then loop a re...

error sounds when disabled in pref, annoying!

Dear Ableton, In Live 8 I've noticed a thing that annoys me a lot. Even though in my system audio preferences I've disabled error message sounds, when hitting e.g. CMD-S twice an error sound occurs the second time (because Live can't save a file without changes) or another e.g. when using CMD-L to l...

Re: Is experimental electronica in a rut?

Is experimental electronica in a rut? No, but because of the internet you just see much more shit, so the ratio good/bad is certainly different. Also, the bands you mention, the big ones, are old stuff. They're all probably listening to Untold, Scuba and Library or Kraut compilations so on their iP...

message sounds play even when disabled in sys pref? pls fix!

Dear Ableton, I just noticed the most irritating little detail. When making music I tend to hit save a lot (cmd + s). It's a habit I trained myself to have from years of working with computers. You might never know that something might happen, when you didn't save something valuable! It has happened...

Re: Tiesto and the APC40???

I would do her. What's wrong guys? Focussing on the wrong parts of the video? Don't mute a lot of youtube for your own sake? It's 2010, you don't have to take the whole package any more these days.

Re: RIP Technics

Whatever technology you're using to play music today that isn't vinyl won't last 35 years. That's the main reason why it's a sad story.

We can always get one of these!

You seriously lost it, equating listening to an album to drinking alone?

Re: remix artists

When something was going to sell quite a few copies I got offered fixed fees.
When something wasn't going to to well at all I was offered percentages.

anyway, they always pay as little as possible.

Re: Vintage Sampling

well hunting down samples is as much part of the game as making a new tune out of them.
or you could use websites like this one.
