I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to Live 11, but i had the same behavior in Live 10 just before the upgrade, so i don't think what i am about to describe is an Ableton version issue. I am on a Mac and was on Big Sur and did not want to upgrade to Ventura yet, but figured Monterey would be safe ...

Quick thing, PRETTY sure you can do this, but haven't used Ableton in awhile now.... I've created a piano part in a series of session clips with an efx chain that i really like and i simply want to make a simple arrangement of that clip (or series of clips) playing while overdubbing some live piano ...

I've had an Akai APC40 (NOT the Mk II version) for some time, and have been using it for years, but it's been sitting idly for a few months and now i'm doing some Ableton work and can't get Ableton to recognize that the APC40 is connected. I'm working on a Mac, running High Sierra 10.13.6. As it is,...

Hey, i am doing research to see if SooperLooper is THE looper that i will want to use in Live (dissatisfied with their Looper......). I've got it working save for two issues, i think both of them are related to routing. I don't think this is a SooperLooper-specific issue, i think it's more a deeper ...

Hi- Encountered some weird behavior in Ableton which seems to run contrary to the many tutorials that i see. I've also recently moved to a Mac, and maybe the sequence of strokes is different on a Mac? Anyways, i have a simple midi clip and i'm simply trying to transpose the whole thing. Here's what ...

OMG haha I had this exact same issue today. My little brother recorded a few different bass lines with a bass guitar and one section had that click/pop. So I just did some micro editing like the vid below and deleted a little bit at the end where the pop is. I then consolidated the whole section th...

The clips Start and End points on some loops do not end at the 0 point. I am unable to find an auto envelope (5ms fade) function that is automatically applied to the start and end of the clip. This is why I asked if there is a realtime solution to this. I'm curious, did you ever resolve this to you...

Hi- I am running version Ableton 9.1 (the latest) and i'm encountering something bizarre, its probably a setting or something. I recorded some free-form music on my sax (a Christmas carol) and am simply trying to record a second track along with it in harmony. I arm the track and all of that, and hi...

Hey there- Thanx to everyone who helped me out. Via personal message, Warrior Bob patiently explained to me that "grouping" my efx into a rack gave me the control over assigning to parameters to particular controls that i was looking for. I did not know that you needed to "group"...

in order to control vst.. you need to drag it in... open it up with the small arrow button hit the configure button.. move the parameter(s) you want to control.. (they will show as sliders on the live-vst-container) I tried a few things here. First yes, i hit configure button and tried that on a fe...

still...some third party vst controls do not respond in configure mode...its rare, but ive run into it several times...admittedly, i use some obscure shit too I'll bet that's true. In this case, its something pretty mainstream.... CamelAudio CamelPhat. Last night, i was just learning what it does a...

I see a couple of good suggestions here of things that i THOUGHT that i had tried, but maybe didn't complete all the "configure" steps. Let me try a couple of tests tonight, and i'll report back as to my results. I MUCH appreciate the responses so far, i figure there HAS to be a way!... :i...

yep, not all...and sometimes only some controls on a given vst... Well, that seems pretty bad to me. I'm wondering who i should contact for more information? Ableton? The VST maker? Akai? Seems like a pretty grey area.... Are there ways to do custom mapping via M4L possibly? Where would you recomme...

Hi- This is probably more directly an APC40 question, but i think that there's enough APC40 users here to get a quick answer to this. I'm trying to customize the APC40 to control particular parameters within a given VST plugin. I understand the Ableton "MIDI Learn" mode and i've successful...

Thank you Peter! I did purchase eBow and PanDrum directly from Soniccouture. They did reply with an email that included a serial number and instructions. The instructions were pretty simple: Double-click on the .alp file and when prompted, enter the serial number. I wasn't prompted, which raised the...
