When I drag an instrument into my session and the cursor just happens to pass over an audio track, I get an orange message at the bottom of the Live window "Only audio effects can be inserted into an audio track".

The message doesn't go away until I close my Live set. Is this a bug or am I doing ...

I eventually figured this out using aggregate devices in macOS Audio Midi Setup.

Basically, Live on macOS doesn't play nicely with audio interfaces with a non-even number of inputs and outputs, such as the AXE/IO One which has 1 input channel and 3 outputs. Live's audio config lists 4 outputs, but ...

WRT "show the plugin window OF THE SELECTED TRACK", as you know there can be many plugins in a track's chain, so the question is: which one should be automatically linked to your hotkey?


I think Live could be smart about this. If there is one VST instrument on the track, open its plugin window ...

I have the same issue with the AXE I/O One. Did you ever get the amp out working in Ableton?

It seems odd because IK Multimedia bundles the interface with Ableton Lite.

I'm trying to achieve something like the varispeed effect in Logic where I can slow down a song by a percentage so that I can practise playing instrument parts at a slower speed.

I have an imported audio track in my arrangement that I have set as the "Lead" for the song tempo since it's played by ...

According to the Live manual, the Chain Mixer Fold Button should only appear when a track contains more than one chain in a rack. But I'm seeing this button for all racks even when they contain just a single chain.

For example, I add Operator to a track, group it to a rack (Cmd + G) and the Chain ...

Can anyone help me out with getting this working in Live 10? I've downloaded the Live 9 Script from the first post (SL_Ultimate_control v1.07) and placed this in a Remote Scripts folder inside my User Library.

But when I go into Live Preferences / MIDI Control Surfaces, it's not listed.

Nope. Always preferred playing on keys than pads, also when it comes to drums. Plenty of controller knobs already on my Novation SL. So I'd probably only really use a Push for clip launching and maybe step sequencing which looks pretty cool.

I'm actually hoping the release of Push will bring the ...

I'm not able to give you any lessons, but if you're free tonight maybe you should come over to Amsterdam for the 10 years celebration. Probably a good chance to pick up some tips and meet some fellow users that might be able to help you get started.

can anyone tell me what that chiming sound is at the beginning of the song in the video before the vocal comes in? sounds very familiar circa early 90's. maybe the pitched down bell sample in the korg wavestation? although i read here that the album was produced using ableton's built in synths ...

+1 for some love for wordpress. just moved my site off blogspot to my own host. i didn't believe their "5 minute install" hype, but really i think i was up and running in about 3 minutes. it even imported all my posts and settings from blogspot. amazing stuff.

anyone have any good templates?

don't like the idea at all personally. when i heard about them at glastonbury it seemed a novel idea for continuing the party after the licensing restrictions, but now they're just a cringe inducing gimmick for corporate xmas parties and, like karaoke and 80's cover bands, are just an excuse for ...
