Ableton Forum

To illustrate my point, I have recorded myself playing a 4 bar chord progression in Ableton and Reason. I recorded at 80bpm, then sped both of the originals to 100bpm. Here they are: Ableton Live 9: 80bpm: https://soundcloud.com/deanc2000/ableton-live-9-acoustic-guitar-dry-80bpm 100bpm: https://soun...

One condenser mic in front of the guitar, positioned about 1 foot away from the sound hole (not sure what it's called). What is it about Ableton that makes the recording sound so thin? Is it the time stretching?

Hello, When I record my acoustic guitar, the end result sounds thin and weak. It's like there's a high pass filter on it, but it's the dry recording. I do record at a slower tempo, then speed it up to the song's original tempo. Any suggestions? I recorded the same guitar on Sonar last night, same me...

How about using the scene launch buttons, lowering the launch quantize to 1/16 so you can find different 16th rhythms? Anyone ever do this?

What the easiest way to stutter the master track. This would have an effect of stuttering the whole song instead of just vocal track. Is there an easy way to do this?

Well, Ableton never got back in touch with me after I contacted them about this problem, but fortunately, I just happened to turn on the AU plugins button and the Melodyne AU IS available. the VST remains nowhere to be seen. Everything is 64 bit.

Yes. Both 64 bit. I contacted both Ableton support and Melodyne support but haven't gotten any reply yet.

It's in my VST folder and it looks like Ableton is just skipping over it when it scans for some reason. Anyone else having this problem? OSX 10.7.4. Macbook Pro, Ableton 9.0.1.

Just announced...If anyone was interested. And right on the heels of the Ableton 9 update. Those cheeky Propellerheads!

Here are my steps: 1) Choose a chord progression - To make the process simple, I have been using the same 8 bar progression thru out the song. I only introduce a different progression if I use a bridge. 2) Establish melodies for each section of your song, ie Verse, Pre-chor, Chorus, Bridge. I usuall...

I don't think a song that only involved 1-2 measure repeating loop would work with the mainstream audience. This audience is used to some structure in songs, like verse/chorus/bridge kind of thing. If it's just a repeating loop, well it would probably work in a trance club (and personally I don't li...

Thanks for the input Pravda, I agree now that you point it out, that it could be more dynamic...dynamically, so less side chain compression to the percussion. I was actually trying to emulate New Order, had the songs "Shellshock" and "State of the Nation" in mind as i was composi...

Sounds good. Very infectious beat. Sounds a little bit like Front 242. Were you trying to emulate anyone?

Please listen and critique (constructively please) my new song. It's called "not gonna listen and it's here:

This is my 7th song ever, so please keep that in mind.

But remember that if you want to use V7 instead of vm7, you must use either harmonic minor or melodic minor. Not the natural minor. Big rule: Whichever chord you use in your progression, you must use the scale that that chord is from to find your melody notes. Hope this helps (don't you hate when pe...
