Ableton Forum

Ableton seems to be lacking the ability to audition loops from another computer using Windows 7 Homegroup. In fact, anything external to the computer running Ableton seems absolutely invisible to Ableton, as if I'm running a program from the 90's. I can successfully audition loops within the ...

I have been using Ableton 8 Suite since it came out, and it wasn't cheap. It's a great program, but why is it all of a sudden telling me that it can authorize all my add-ons but not authorize live itself? ("too many authorizations on this computer") This makes saving IMPOSSIBLE!!! If it KNOWS I've ...

Is there any way to automap raw wav files into sampler, ie. intelligent filtering that can use the number in the file title or even analyze the pitch to accurately automap the files across the keyboard? When I drag and drop a bunch of samples of this type into sampler, it simply maps every single ...

One more thing, you would of course be "drawing" in real time with your mouse in the above example.

oh, and yes, you can DRAW automation in clips, no problem. I also found that, if you set the clip envelope window just right, activate the "scroll" arrow, and keep the "drawing" tool just past center, you can "draw" an envelope real time as the clip plays. It's pretty tricky to do but I got it to ...

I have been working on a similar problem. It looks like clip envelopes cannot be recorded the way you desire. One workaround I found though is to record the playback of the clip directly to audio and manipulate the parameters you are desiring to automate as you will. At least the sound ...

Oh, ok Tone Deft, I see. Well, at least I know now.

Hi nowtime. Well, it doesn't seem like you can record or even create envelopes in the arrange view other than panning, levels etc. Anything that is clip specific doesn't seem to be recordable in that view. However, I was able to record the transposing sound as audio directly to the track in the ...

Hi. New to this whole Ableton thing and I am really loving it! However, I am a bit stumped right now. I have a lovely loop, in the form of a clip, that I would love to add a nice "transpose" envelope to. Now, I realize in the clip's view, I can set the first envelope box to "transpose" and then draw ...

If I have Live 7 suite previously installed on my machine and I just upgraded to Live 8 suite, will installing the "Live 7 Legacy Pack" harm anything, or cut down my actual instrument count (since I am assuming the Legacy Pack does not include ALL samples and presets from Live 7?) I did install it ...
