Ableton Forum

This is a big wonky pastiche--sort of Burialesque, with pitchy vocals, drums and atmospherics sampled with a handheld recorder in a big empty building.

This has been coming up a lot lately and it's not quite working like I'd thought... I work at a video post production place. We'll get a bunch of footage and the editors go to work on it. At the same time, I'm doing sound design and music editing with Live (when I can) and Pro Tools (when I have to)...

Ugh. Okay, maybe more of a weekly thing. Work has picked up and there's not a lot of time to kill in the daytimes now. Still going to keep it coming though.

Getting into the swing of things. I can ramble at times but there are usually some nuggets in there.

I don't know why exactly I decided to do this, but I'm doing a daily thing now (weekdays) where I drop some kind of Ableton science on my blog. Today's post is on workflow and template setup. I imagine it will be useful to some people. There's a subscribe feature (it's a Wordpress thing) so you can ...

Everything's the same as it was before the wipe. Same software versions and everything. But now every saved instance of Massive comes back as a default patch, all settings are forgotten. I just lost half a day's worth of work! All my other plugins work as they used to, and I have a lot. Anything I'm...

All produced/recorded in Ableton, natch...lots of Operator and Electric on this record. This forum has been (continues to be) a lifesaver! http://nowayjosie.bandcamp.com/ Also, for those who are interested, I started putting up tutorials about weird Ableton shit a while back but have been a bit lame...

Ableton all the way...

Hey folks, I've started putting up a sort-of-weekly tutorial on my blog, usually about Ableton racks and cool shit you can do with them. Here's one:

I just upgraded to 8.2.2 (Mac os 10.5.8) and whenever i'm working in a plugin, my keyboard won't control live. Spacebar won't stop/start, none of the assigned keys will do what they're supposed to until I shift focus away from the plugin. This never happened before. It's especially bad when working ...

http://flavorwire.com/184890/video-of-the-day-cheryl-presents-administrative-soul We did this track with Ableton 8 at our studio in Greenpoint! Yeah, it's jokey but a good time. Download is at http://fakemoney.bandcamp.com/track/administrative-soul . And for NYC peoples: We're doing all this live a...

Recently, when I go to full screen mode, the bottom of Live's window gets cut off (I can't see the record-arm buttons on the mixer for example.) I don't know exactly when this started, but I did recently upgrade to Suite. Anybody had this issue and fixed it? I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a Macbook.

Ah, I see. Good tip! I didn't realize activate/deactivate was on the main menu bar since I always used the context menu to do it.

I'd love it it I could assign "select track contents" to a key combo. Doesn't seem to work though. Any rhyme/reason to why certain commands will work and others won't?

Okay, maybe this is asking too much, but it would be awesome. I bounce things between Session and Arrange all the time and was wondering if there's a reliable way to transfer exactly what's happening in your Arrange loop to the captured/inserted Scene. Let's say you've got an 8-bar loop in Arrange t...
