Ableton Forum

Have any of you successfully used (pre-recorded) video files in your live set (in an onstage scenario)? I'm talking a set where you've a bunch of other stuff going on too - effects, etc. If so, please give me your specs and other relevant info. I'm currently in a position where I need to be portable...

I would like for Ableton to 'tell' my iPad Mini (which will have video files on it, and is connected to a projector) to trigger videos simultaneously. This is a very interesting idea that I don't have an immediate solution for so just returning some thoughts. There might be a number of solutions bu...

Hi, I've a simple enough question I think - onstage I use Ableton Live in Arrangement view with various backing tracks. I trigger the start point of these with location markers. I would like for Ableton to 'tell' my iPad Mini (which will have video files on it, and is connected to a projector) to tr...

one option is to use the Automap Server to temporarily re-wrap all your plugs. that should enable you to open the sets again. i recently ditched my Nocturn and uninstalled Automap completely from my system. it's another layer of crap i can't be bothered dealing with any more... I think this might'v...

Hmmm. Having a hard time figuring out what your topic is about. I think... maybe... you are having crash issues and require some assistance ? [/sarcasm] PC or MAC? Is it just that VST? Here is what I would do to figure out what is causing crashes: - If you think it may be automap and you don't use ...

Hey guys, I've been spending a few hours looking for answers. Recently, I've noticed that upon saving my ableton project and then loading it again in another session, it seems like my VST settings wasn't back to the state when I saved it. The one I notice that has this problem is NI's Reaktor 5 wit...

Freaking out. Help. Ok, so I had a load of doubles of plugins which had been mapped to automap (which I never use). (Eg, in my vst browser, I would see Permut8.vst, along with Permut8.vst (Automap) ... and so on) I never, ever use automap, so I deleted those versions. My plugins are all still there,...

nope - cc7

That all looks like some very strange behavior. Is the keyboard the only midi device you have connected right now? Do you have any midi loop back or feedback programs installed? They would show up in MIDI Preferences. I'd turn them off if you're not using them. - yep, just the keyboard... When mapp...

This one is behaving as it should, I think :

Are the fader and the filter knob set to the same cc? Or does the filter knob sometimes glitch out on its own? Do you Only have this issue with cc 73? What happens in mapping mode if it occurs, and then you hit Undo? Does seeeeeem to be a CC73 thing, I dunno? Same with this : http://i28.photobucket...

There's no Automap going on - some of my plugins are saying that, it's quite annoying. But either way, it's the same with Ableton instruments too .....?

I have an EMU Shortboard 49 midi keyboard. I've turned the channel select dial on the back to 'CH1'. When I midi map the knobs, I'm getting knobs sometimes map to two parameters where I only want it mapped to the one I map (CC73 for example in the screenshot below). What am I doing wrong? http://i28...

I like the look of the Arturia iSEM synth : http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/arturia-unveils-isem-synth-for-ipad-585958/ But if I were to use that with a midi keyboard, have I any way of using, say, an Alesis AirFX controller? (this has RCA in/outs).... or is that kind of thing just off limits to...

Yeah, I've decided to just do that ... ?
