Re: Let's Put Sync Issues to Bed - None Of My MIDI Gear Syncs To Ableton Properly!

It still happens. When I can afford one, my solution will be an ERM Multiclock or something similar.

Fortunately I haven't had the energy or time to bother dealing with this any further.

Re: Let's Put Sync Issues to Bed - None Of My MIDI Gear Syncs To Ableton Properly!


At present were just deleting the silence at start and trying to eye up the wav verus bpm till it can be remixed/edited in time.


I basically gave up trying to figure this out and do exactly that. Some MIDI is early, which is totally laughable considering how laggy MIDI inherently is, and some ...

Re: Let's Put Sync Issues to Bed - None Of My MIDI Gear Syncs To Ableton Properly!


How far off sync are the MIDI hardware devices?

Are you finding the sync problem is with sequencers starting or with notes being a little delayed with the delay varying depending on the synth?


I haven't measured how many milliseconds, but for the most part most synths are at least a few ...

Re: Let's Put Sync Issues to Bed - None Of My MIDI Gear Syncs To Ableton Properly!


No-one wants to see their dad dancing around at a wedding!!!!

That is odd, USB midi should be super tight. Are you recording patterns from your external gear into Ableton? I've noticed if I record midi from my external Novation sequencer, there is definitely a delay and it's clearly shown in ...

Let's Put Sync Issues to Bed - None Of My MIDI Gear Syncs To Ableton Properly!

Hi All,

I have a lot of external hardware. I've followed multiple tutorials on how to get it properly in sync with Ableton. Nothing seems to work. My hardware MIDI devices always start early or late depending upon the device. This makes for recording an absolute pain in the noggin.

The most recent ...

Error - A Serious Problem Has Occurred - Live will shut down

I'm consistently getting the following erorr when I load up a Live project that's going to be a DJ mix:

"A Serious Problem Has Occurred - Live will shut down after this box is closed. Out of memory."

Now, I know the error is basically saying I don't have enough memory to run Live. I've got 100 ...

Re: Oh brother! I still love EPMD!

Eric Sermon's solo stuff never quite met the par that he'd set with his partners in EPMD.

Now I'm gonna have to grab me some EPMD... I have it all on tape! Ha!

Re: Anyone remixing Depeche Mode's 'Peace' using Live?

Frankly, I'm not too fussed about paying four bucks for the right to remix Depeche Mode legally. Last time I tried (and succeeded) was with 'Precious' from their last album. I got a rather nice cease and desist letter from Warners that now hangs on my wall in my studio.

Re: Anyone remixing Depeche Mode's 'Peace' using Live?

Hehe. I'm aware it's 138ish originally. I make house music - not trance/hard dance/dub-step so that's why I'm toning down the BPM a bit.

I'd love to see what you come up with, but would also love a copy of your warp file for the vocals! ;)

Anyone remixing Depeche Mode's 'Peace' using Live?

The title says it all.

I can't seem to get the vocals to snap properly to my project tempo of 128 BPM. The original song hovers around 138 BPM. I am using Live version 8. I know how to warp marker properly, but this tune is being tricky for some reason.

Anyone willing to share their warp file with ...
