Ableton Forum

If you can't find a reliable keystroke solution,
the Pro version of Bome allows you to output
mouseclicks. (I'm assuming you have the
Classic version...)

I'm surprised that artists like Kid Beyond haven't persuaded Abes to add this feature.

Believe me, I've tried. Sigh.

Now that L7 is out, I guess I'll try again for L8.

The impression I get from the Abefolks is that they look carefully at the most requested features on this forum. So the best ...

This sounds suspiciously like a problem I've been having with looping live audio:

L6: Dropout upon first play of loop after recording

I've been back and forth with Abe engineers on it for over a year; no fix has appeared yet. Sigh.

Ironically, this is a problem that appeared only in Live 6 ...

Wow. This seems AMAZING. Nice work, you guys.

I don't know Python, so I have a feeling I haven't even grasped the full implications of how awesome this could be.

OSX OSX OSX please!

Anyhow it is probably doable with scrubbing and such but there will not be a midifeedback from live so that I know where in the loop I am. As the code is now, I can press a clip in Live or on the Monome and the right light will fire up on the monome.

Hmm, yeah. There's probably some workaround ...

Ahlstrominfo,

I just watched all your Monome videos on YouTube. Nice work! It makes me WANT ONE, BADLY. I have no idea how hard it was to get the Monome to talk to Ableton, but it's a great result. And your beat-juggling is on point too!

in that last demo, did you have multiple clips in a track ...

Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I really appreciate it.

Also, it seems to me that the load times are far more dependant on the effects you're using, more than anything else.

Yeah, I guess that's true -- for a Live set without many clips to load, I'd guess it'd be more of a CPU/RAM issue. I ...

Howdy all, Kid B here.

I'm planning to buy a new MacBook Pro.
(My current live rig is a PowerBook G4.)
I've got some questions about hard drive
speed.

I want the 15-inch version, but Apple doesn't
offer a 7200-rpm drive with it -- only 5400.
The 17-incher does have a 7200rpm drive,
but it's a ...

Howdy! Kid Beyond here.

I've upgraded to Live 6, and I'm experiencing
a disconcerting bug with live audio looping.

Live 5: I record a loop in a clip slot, hit its Play
button, the loop starts playing.

Live 6: I record a loop in a clip slot, hit its Play
button, and... there's a dropout (total ...

As many others have already said: This is what Live was born to do.

I LOVED the little subtitled comments throughout the video. Made it very entertaining to watch. It's a whole new art form in itself -- Funky Breaks + Cool Performance Footage + Funny Subtitles = Internet Video Stardom!

Saturday in ...

Kid B carries his entire rig in a regular backpack.

A rolling bag, actually. (Machinate should know --
he became my default roadie in Germany.)


Looking a bit like KB is chunking it up.
Perhaps all the Live gigging has kept him off
his vegan diet? Also, his chin seems to be
growing quite long ...

nice, awesome, but i need battery life.


god if someone could write a script or something for us to be able to turn it off and on! god thta'd be great.

hehe, or Apple can just give us back the "CPU Performance" section of the Energy Saver > Options tab

remember the "reduced, automatic, highest ...

Thanks Kid!!! Sadly I broke my ankle really badly about four weeks back and had to have nine screws and a plate put in, and am pretty immobile. I'm bummed, I had seen a flyer a few weeks back and knew you were coming to town, and was very much looking forward to seeing you in action. Good news is ...

I thought the video was wicked.

I'm glad my long-lost hair has found a nice new home...


Pwnedly yours,

Kid B


p.s. Quandry -- I'm playing Charlottesville tonight (Wed), opening for Particle at Starr Hill. You want on the guest list?

This is very useful indeed ! Thank you!

Are you already working with a MacBook at this early stage? And how satisfied are you?

Nope, I'm sorta waiting for...

1) the speedstepping issue to be resolved
2) my crucial VSTs to come out as Universal Binaries

and maybe by then there'll be...

3) a ...
