Ableton Forum

I meant to post a reply, not a new topic for using the CME VX8 with Ableton Live.

There should also be some relief seeing all the hard work that you have put in to your setup finally starting to pay off. Be careful when switching between modes and operating the VX8 with any DAW. I never started programming much of anything outside of 'MACKIE CONTROL" mode. Because when switching ...

Hello again Turbo_Ginger. Did you follow the instructions? If you have setup everything correctly and recorded your automation correctly, the Channel 1 fader should be moving with your recorded automation in Ableton Live. Best of luck and take care Turbo_Ginger.

Remember that anything that can be MIDI mapped in Ableton LIve can be routed to almost everything on the CME VX8. If you would like to see the fader's "fly", take a few measures of audio and insert the audio into Ableton Live's Channel 1, Arraignment View. Put the Arraignment View in Record Mode ...

1) Great, no problems there. I have not located a manual for the 2.1 firmware layout for the CME, but we'll get to that later.
2) Excellent, chaining various MIDI devices together can complicate things, but not in your case.
3) The reason for turning the "LOCAL OFF', is because the CME can transmit ...

There are some questions I must ask about your setup, please do not be offended by their simplicity.

1) Have you updated your firmware to v2.1? Here is the link just in case. http://www.cme-pro.com/en/support.php?type=app
2) Is your CME VX series keyboard plugged in via USB or some other possible ...

This is the way I have found to operate my CME VX8's motorized faders with Ableton Live.

1) I updated my CME VX8's firmware to 2.1. http://www.cme-pro.com/en/support.php?type=app

2) These are the settings to take advantage of the motorized faders, using the piano keys to perform with your VST's ...

it all depends on the studio and the person or person's that are operating in the studio. I had to focus on price, then decide on the type of monitors that fit my budget and studio. I think some of the most important questions one should ask when it comes to buying monitors are:

1) Am I tracking ...

In the "Mackie Control" mode there is already a predetermined map for most of the CME's parameters. I choose to map everything out because I work a bit differently with the CME and Ableton Live. I also have various effects that I like to use and automate with the CME VX8 and Bitstream 3X and there ...

Great question, I am having a lot of success with the CME VX8 and Ableton Live. The "U CTRL A" mode is the Mackie Control mode for the CME VX8. I am able to play instruments such as Akoustik Piano, Kontakt 3, and Reaktor 5 with the keys, mod. and pitch bend wheels. Then I use the knobs, buttons, and ...

I would like see more versatility in track selection. My first "teacher" in the world of DAW's was Pro Tools. I really enjoy Ableton Live, but I would like to access a particular portion of Ableton by simply typing or using a MIDI controller. For instance, I want to select from measure 128.1.3 to ...
