Ableton Forum

You can use the Rane/Serato hardware interfaces with Ableton Live. So if you buy an SL1 or an SL3 or a TTM 57SL, you can use them as your soundcard for Ableton Live.

What you currently cannot do is use both programs at the same time on the same computer. The most recent announcements from both ...

The Audio/MIDI setup is an application and you can find it in your
applications/utilities directory.

Sorry, I'm stuck again. In the Mac OS X Audio MIDI setup screen, I cannot seem to activate the 6 channel output. I have tried speaker setup as hexagonal and quadrophonic, but ...

So it doesn't matter that the bug's in my ass?

I don't know about others, but I am getting impatient waiting for my APC 40. Has anyone got any idea about shipping dates?

Oh, and thanks to you both.

That did it. I'm stylin' now. Aside from the complexity of Live, part of my problem is that I'm also new to Macs.

There is an Audio MIDI tab in Garage Band preferences, but no multi-channel options there, just system setting or Emagic as device options.

I don't seems to have an audio MIDI application, which is weird, as it sounds like something built in to the OS.

System Preferences has an icon for Audio, but nothing on MIDI. There is an option to select the Emagic as the input or output device, but no options for multichannel operation.

What multichannel soundcards are other people using with Ableton?

-Ron

I see them, but they just have
1 (mono) & 2 (mono) or
1/2 (stereo)

Incidentally, the only options for the emagic in audio input device and output device are 2 in 0 out and 0 in 2 out.

Thanks for following up with me on this.

Are you using it in 24 bit mode? That only has two outs.

I trust you've remembered to enable the additional outs in Live's preferences?


I don't think 24 bit mode is active. There is no light above the "24 bit" label. I am not sure how to enable additional outs. I cannot see this option in audio ...

Has anyone successfully configured Ableton for multi-channel output with the 2|6? If so, any pointer would be appreciated. I am running Mac OS X. I have installed the drivers, but I still see only 2 channel output as an option in Preferences.

Thanks in advance,

I cannot get Live to recognized my EMI as having multiple outputs. The output config makes it look like it's just a 2 channel card. Can anyone help?

I am having some trouble with the setup of Trigger Finger.

I just want to use the 16 pads for Audio 1-4, slots 1-4, but I seem to end up with scene launch and slot 2 overwrites slot 1 and slot 4 overwrites slot 3.

Can anyone help?
