Ableton Forum

This is an issue that we've had many times playing as a live band. Ableton will only let you switch between sets by closing the existing set and loading another. The problem this offers that it means that say you have a 45 minute set that you want to play with 6-7 different tracks at varying tempo ...

For full orchestra sounds I've always found Project Sam Symphobia is great for ease of use to get the a big sound. However if you're looking for editing articulations and just being more precise I'd suggest NI Session Strings.

Thanks for your reply. I've just changed it from 24 to 32. I'll see if that makes a notable difference.

hello all!

This may be a simple question but to reduce CPU load, especially when using multiple plugins. I export the tracks as wavs and then play them as wavs instead of from the plugin. The only problem i have is, regardless of if i switch it to 'high quality' or exporting on a high sample rate ...

I'm currently looking at hardware effects to add to my rack for live us. I was just wondering if anyone uses any hardware between live and the mixer that noticably improves the sound......

There was a similar topic and i know that some users put the live output sounds through a compressor. I'm not ...

Ah right, thanks for your advice '3phrase'. I'll have a look into that.

I really like the Ableton 'Backbone' reverb effect and use it a lot for our recordings. .....i was just wondering if anyone had any idea of any effects that are similar that could be used for gigs.

I'm already using 2 laptops live and think that if i tried to get vocals put through another one, the ...

Thanks for your help i'll give that a try.

Yes, i would want the midi foot controller to control Laptop 1 on midi mapping as-well as 2. So ideally the one signal from the midi output of the foot controller to be routed to control both laptops. In the instructions above would that be possible ...

To People of Ableton

Please help!

I'm tying to get 2 laptops synced or more precisely, get one midi channel (sent by a foot controller) to be received on 2 laptops.

I've got one audio interface (tascam US-122L) and one midi interface (Romo 2 in, 2 out) and i want the first one to be midi ...

Hey

I really need some help, what i'm trying to do is sync two laptops in ableton and use them together live. One laptop to run samples etc and another one to run the video, which i'll set up to a projector.

I've been all over the forums to try and figure this out. Live can play video in ...

Hi, please help

I have Ableton 7, that i bought about a year and a half ago. I wanted to try out Pro Tools before buying it so i borrowed the mbox package from a friend and tried to install it. Everything was fine up until the point of installing the plug-ins. The ilok wasn't working on a seperate ...

I’ve seen a couple of clips of Live being used with a video feature. What I’m trying to do was to make a video that can be synced with the music we’re playing on Live and then ideally link that up to a television screen/projector that we bring on stage. So we’ve got Live playing the music and then ...

wow, great response cheers everyone....that's given me loads to think about

in answer to the previous question i already have operator

hey, i remember when i started with my band. It was a situation where because we didn't really know each other as people and not wanting to offend someone you've just met...for the first few rehearsals we spent a lot of time in silence and just generally being a bit awkward (there all my best mates ...

Howdy

I'm looking to get some synth software to use when creating tracks in ableton or while playing live but i have no idea where to start...i'm kind of looking for some slightly dark basses sounds but really to more options the better. As per usual i don't really have a lot of money :cry: so ...
