Ableton Forum

Thank you. I hadn’t had a reason to use it before now so I hadn’t realized it was a known issue. Glad to know it’s being worked on. Thanks again.

I have a drum kit in Drum Rack which I'm trying to get some variation out of, so I'm trying to use the MIDI editor's Notes->Velocity Range feature that was introduced in Live 11. The kit (Drumdrops Krautrock Kit) has multiple samples per drum, to be triggered according to incoming MIDI velocity. I c...

i googled "d5 note midi loop ableton" and the first result was a short reddit thread where the solution was to check ableton preferences and see if that is control is set in control surface mapping. from what i could see in the results of my search you aren't alone when it comes to komplet...

I've had great results with the stock audio devices in Live, and I attribute that mostly to the attention to detail I put into the mixing stage. I self-release a lot and master my own stuff; when I release on other labels I often get asked how I got it sounding so good or the unmastered mix I send i...

Art, if you aren’t getting the experience you’d prefer from Live then perhaps it’s time to try another product. There are so many other DAWs out there; surely one will offer your desired level of attention to these concerns.

any particular ethnicity? all drums played by human beings are "ethnic" since we all belong to one or more ethnic groups. if you narrow it down, we might be able to point you in the right direction. i use live suite's drum kits for north american rock and blues as well as various latin and...

can you make techno with eight tracks? sure.

some of the best techno i've heard is two tracks: a drum machine on one track and a bass synth or a sampler on another track.

i make low end-heavy stuff (jungle, dub, etc) in my headphones, directly plugged in to the macbook pro's headphone jack. i work at roughly 1/3 the available system volume because my aging ears get fatigued easily. my music sounds great on a loud system with good bass. so, it can be done. like any st...

i recently had an issue like this and i resolved it once i realized i had mistakenly mixed up my TRS and TS cables when plugging in a synth. if the RD-8 is like most drum machines you should use a TS/mono cable from the outputs to your audio interface.

FWIW with that budget, and the fact that you already have a second display, have you considered a mac mini instead? a mac mini could offer a more recent option with better specs. aim for better RAM and speed; supplement with an external drive to make up for shortcomings in hard drive space.

Thanks for the comments so far. I agree that while the Simpler slicing feature was a good idea, the implementation leaves a bit to be desired. I'd still rather go with Simpler than slicing to MIDI, however. For now it seems like the best way to deal is to put all of the wavs into a "Breaks"...

After years of slicing and re-slicing my collection of breakbeats from scratch (usually via "slice to drum rack") I thought I'd take advantage of the slicing and warping of Simpler to streamline my workflow. So, now I have a folder full of Simpler presets with sliced breaks, but they're al...

This is one of the main reasons I have held off on Push. I was really hoping to see it implemented with L10.

Here's how I do it; this is for chopping breaks rather than programming a beat from individual hits. 1. Start with a breakbeat you like. You can find all the classic breaks online with a minimal amount of googling, or you can sample whatever break you'd like from a song you have. 2. Put it in an Aud...
