Ableton Forum

BTW, any tips on how you are working with clips are welcome.

Hi,

For me it's kind of a creative damper waiting for the clips to start.

Is it possible to make the previewing of Clips happen faster?

Would be good to at least be able to disable the function that you need to click on every clip.
Previewing Loops are so much quicker, that i'm considering to ...

I've been using Ableton for a while and have the same problem - for songwriting when is it good to use session view. I'm much the same as the original poster in that often the structure / chord structure comes first before adding what needs to be added. The grid nature of the session view makes ...

I love this forum! Thanks a lot!

Hello,

This is not a specific question about Ableton, but i've been trying hard to find something on the subject of using 2 Mac computers to record music.

My wish would be to use my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro (both with Ableton 8 ) to be synced up, so that me and my partner can work on the two ...

Thanks! I just realized that, I'm waiting for my midi interface to arrive anyday now.

Hey,

Trying to hook up my new MPC500 to use it together with Ableton.
So maybe you guys can help out cause I can't get it right:

i've connected it with USB, but inside Ableton it is not detected, so I can't midimap it etc. I installed the latest OS from AKAI, but is there something more I need ...

I've set up my Alesis Control Pad to record drums.
When i'm having the "record quantize" enabled there are lots of notes missing.
I guess it's probably because 2 pads have been played at the same time.
If I switch off the record quantize, there is no problem. All the notes are there...

But it ...

Tortoise, is your name related to the Chicago post-rock band?

Oh yeah. One of my favorite bands ever!

if you don't connect the Remote SL by USB, you'd be taking away from it, the most important feature of that keyboard, the Automapping. So yeah connect it to USB

Yeah you're perfectly right ...

By the way, what's should i do with the Remote SL? Should it be in a seperate USB on the laptop, or connected to the midi interface as well?

Ok, i'll check it out. Thanks

no worries mate ...the whole flicking between the two views is cofusing as shite to start with.

Yeah, after some hours though it's really starting to making sense. Session view is perfect for trying out ideas, and I find the arrangement view perfect as laying out the ideas from scratch, even ...

Awesome! Yes, this really helps up the speed on setting the loop.

deally youd want to put the devices that are receiving notes and sync ie the KP3, R3 and PC on their own separate midi outs from a multi out midi interface. Once you start chaining, weird things can happen with midi timing.

Really the way that you connect them together is largely determined by how ...

Wow! Thanks so much! Now it's EASY to do it, it was buggin me.
Thanks again.
