Ableton Forum

I'm not so much a free spirit as an untrained musician. Music-math makes my brain hurt and metronomes activate my Manchurian candidate-programming. I'm hoping to avoid recording to say, my Tascam digi-8 track and then doing all the render/conversion work to get it into ableton.

My keyboard riffs ...

Hey all. I've tried but cannot sort this one out.

I want to record a riff in Ableton without a click track or bpm/beat/ measure setting, basically as if I were jamming to a tape track. Is there a way to do this? I often don't know what the bpm or time signature would be when I'm recording stuff ...

did you arm the track to record?

also, is "z" & "x" how you change octaves in midi-computer keyboard mode? i keep doing this accidentally and can't figure out how to correct it!

well, i've got dual 1.66 processors, XP, 4gb ram, and i did notice that the cpu% was between 30-47% when this happened..

the scenes in general were running all midi clips (impulse, etc) and a few effects on each one.

if i group effects together on a track, does it use less cpu resources?

Any suggestions/advice??

Sometimes when i trigger a scene i get a brief crackle through my monitors. It doesn't appear on the recorded track, but i can hear it live, which sucks, because i'm rehearsing for a live gig.

If i trigger clips individually, i don't get the crackle. I've tried using my ...

i think my head just exploded.

i've got a fujitsu laptop of some kind with a bunch of specs that i cant remember.. duo 1.66ghz processors i think.. 4gb RAM...

basically i'm trying to take a studio project and make it performable w/loop triggering and live vocals. in the past i've perfomed with me, a guitar, and a drum machine in ...

jekblad my friend, you are a genius!

"who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?"

i've done this before, but recently tried it again without success.

i compose my tracks in their own individual set (using ableton 6.10??), however i'm trying to build a "Live performance" set which would contain clips/tracks from my various songs so i can do live remixes at a show.

i was able to ...

i don't know what i did differently, but i got everything to work smoothly!

i re-sent the midi dump in preferences and now it works when i midi map to an encoder.

i am using presets 18, 19, or 20, but i usually custom map in each set that i work on.

hey all.

so i've gone thru the axiom lessons from the live pack. i've watched the youtube videos, i know how to adjust the encoder curve BUT...

now when i assign my encoders to a parameter of any rotary knob (impulse, instruments, etc) the knob ALWAYS jumps back to it's original position, no ...

i like the vocal.. it reminds me of andrew eldritch alot

nice track mi amigo!

i've never heard of goth house (gothouse?) but i remember the "gravers" back in the day.. they were sad and gothy, but happy on the dance floor? thus is the party yin/yang!

thx for the info re: no guidelines between manufacturers..

thx for the blue sky tip-off. i'm gonna look into those too.

i know there is likely a post around here somewhere, but i cannot find the answers i'm lookin for.

i'm lookin in the 300-500$ price range for powerd studio monitors. i have my selection narrowed down, but i have a question about frequency range/response.

how big of a difference is there between ...
