The donation for the class will be discussed on the first day of lecture. I would have more people jo...

Yeah what up Ableton Crew. Thank You for providing this totally awesome program. I was wondering if I could use a cracked copy of Ableton 7 I have to teach a class here in the West Coast burlin'stoneburg part of the woods. It would get people to buy your stuff. It would be through me advertising in ...

I am punchin' buttons on the ol' apc 40 but nothin' happenin' til I switch the track to a different button or cell. Don't get me wromg most all of the tracks fire off fine but few won't. Why won't tracks fire off sometimes when you push them, but then when you move the cell down or up it will fire o...

I am going to Hemp Fest in Seattle to set up a booth for a new led grow light that uses intelligent lighting, meaning each diode can be programmed seperatiley what to do and when to come on. I would like to sync it with my apc 40 or launchpad, so while I am playing mixes at our booth the led grow li...

What the heck is this randomness? Every once in a while, I hit the tap key besides the bpm numerals. Then the song changes tempo to how fast I am hitting the tap key. So now I cant find out how many bpms the song are. This usually doesnt happen. I cant figure out how I got on this setting, I cant tu...

On the vocoder you can get some really killer effects transformer optimo style. Thats on the pitch mode. What happens is the song will sound super wild effected out. Then all of a sudden, it changes octaves and keys. It will then be to low or high. You should be able to lock in that effect when the ...

APC 40 going out on me. Is anyone having trouble with the volume faders? They dont move on the screen until you go all the up or all the way down on the physical fader. So when you are mixing it up, thrown off you will become, thinking that the fader got your back, and all of a sudden it spikes beca...

If I connect more than one launchpad can one be the master and the others follow it when I move around screen to other clips? I tried with the apc 40 to follow the launchpad, but couldnt do it. So if I can do it with launchpads I will just buy some more of those.

I updated live and serato to my rane ttm 57 mixer but it still crashes. It said on the update that I can run it in 64 bit instead of 32. Is this true? Or do I still have to boot up the computer in 32 bit. Does anyone use the bridge with success?

I am trying to have my launchpad be the master and the apc 40 to be the slave. Or vice versa if necessary. This way whenever I move my launchpad around the screen the apc follows it.

when I launch clips they play a quarter beat late. this happens when it is quantized to 1 bar.

I am trying to save sets onto another drive. I collected and saved, but how do I guide it to the other external hard drive I want to back up on?

I want to save everything to another hard drive. Including where the clips came from and those wav or mp3 files so I dont have to look all around my hard drives for the missing file. I try and collect and save all, but it keeps crashing.

Here is what it says when I try to collect and save. The file "/Volumes/2 TB /ableton/Backup from 11-1-10/super beatmapped 1-10-11 Project/super beatmapped 1-10-11.als" could not be opened. This harddrive that I have it on was used with a pc to make this project. I am trying to save all th...
