Ableton Forum

Hello hello!

Thought I'd just pop up a link to my first Ableton podcast. I've been
playing out with ableton for well over a year now but I've never got
around to recording a mix. Well, here's my first podcast:

If you want to ...

Just looked at the wormhole homepage - very impressive little utility.

Does anyone know if us PC users are blessed with anything similar? I'd like to send Midi clock and audio over ethernet if possible.

Cheers.

I've been using an echo indigo dj for the last 6 months which has been ok, however it's developed a nastle crackle on the headphone output, so it's going back. However, i'm somewhat regretting my choice as i really need a line input as well as 2 stereo outs, so i'm in the market for a new soundcard ...

I'm in sunny Newbury, Berkshire.

I DJ regularly at the Upstairs Late Lounge and have finally managed to move totally from vinyl to Live. I use Live mainly for house, with a bit of latin and funk thrown in.

Myself and a couple of chums also run some monthly nights here too - the next one's this ...

Mic,

The problem is that I want to assign a button to control the looping of a clip. I want it so that the button is illuminated when a clip is looped, and you press to activate/deactivate. The problem is that when you select another clip, live doesn’t send a midi update to set the status of the ...

Fixed it!

In the echo control panel I've locked the sample rate at 44.1k, i think before ableton was kicking out at 44.1k and the soundcard was working at 48k.

Just need to sort the crackle in the headphones next.

Fader 8 - supatrigga return

1st row of buttons - trigger clip
2nd row - cue (i use a third ...

They're already disabled

Bit of an odd one here, I'm using Live 4 & 5 with an echo indigo DJ on windows xp pro and i'm having the same problem with both, but it happens more often with 5.

For no apparent reason, the current clip with shift down in pitch, although the tempo remains constant. Sometimes it will do it when I ...

i'm thinking exactly the same.... the bcf makie layout with ableton is just dam random

interested to hear if anyone's doing anything with it.


i wish there was a half-way house too - i like some features of the mackie mode, like selecting channel with a 3eq and using the top knobs to tweak (look s ...

I had the same problem with my Acer Aspire laptop and i was on the verge of thowing it through the window. It would gitch regardless of load, soundcard or latency.

It turns out there's a problem with the battery ...

I'm kinda similar to nuperspective in the way i cut up the tracks. This is how i do it:

intro - normally 16-32 bars
main - bulk of the track, always starts 'with a bang'
outro - the trailing end of the song

Plus then i create various drum loops from the track, plus for at least half of the drum ...
