Hi, there's missing a SCORE EDITOR. Indispensable for transcription and score printing for professional non-electronic live music bands - THEY STILL EXIST AND ALWAYS WILL!! Cubase has one, Logic too - why Ableton doesn't? It's missing! So, please implement (a very good) one. Greetz I would love one...

When mixing a track I have some difficulties to hit the right volume with moving the volume faders. Would be great to be able to change the volume via mousewheel. This applies to all other controls as well. This is mentioned in the mousewheel to zoom thread as well. It would great if Ableton stop m...

Let's make Live a usable DAW please.

I don't use video but understand the need of some video support in Live. I'd say it'd probably make more sense to ensure compatability with other better video products than to add too much video functionality to Live. Either that or create an alternative version of live with a focus on video.

Isn't that the same as 'cut time' in the edit menu?

So is Comping available yet or what?! Kinda. You can use folders to create comping and with multiple takes it records over it's self, you then appear to have to stretch it out and then slice each take and put it in a new channel in a folder (pain in the arse but doable). You can then comp away as a...

As far as foot controllers go you should check out this one..

Ableton is great for quickly sketching out ideas. It can record my bands music easily (folders now makes comping possible although not perfect) and I can quickly put some effects on the channels and now can group the drums. I've moved to Logic twice from Live but, for putting together music, keep re...

How do I save-replace? Each time I press save it creates a new preset - I just want it to overwrite what is there. Is there a quick way to do that? Simple; just press enter. Then Live will recognize the existing filename and asks if you want to overwrite. Thanks Doesn't strike me as a very intuitive.

You must save-replace the preset/override the old preset or save it as a new preset if you don´t want to override the old preset. Best, Christian Hi Christian, How do I save-replace? Each time I press save it creates a new preset - I just want it to overwrite what is there. Is there a quick way to ...

It's always the basic things that fox me. I've created a multi-sample using sampler but at the moment each time I want to save a change I'm creating a new preset! How do I update a preset with my changes? I thought it woudld just remeber what I'd tweaked when I moved to a different preset but it doe...

Hi, "I've only had Ableton a few days and am teaching myself really. I have version 8 I've done a few compositions but I just cannot seem to get a good Bass sound or a good string sound." Hi, Ignore the idiot on about mixing - that has nothing to do with it (well maybe a bit when it comes...

My quick reaction to this is I hope it kicks Ableton up the arse to realise that many musicians just don't want to layer multiple tracks of bleeps and drum loops. Seriously - vocal comping is a killer feature alone. So whilst Ableton are busy adding yet another way to make you synth track sound diff...

I've been using Ableton for a while and have the same problem - for songwriting when is it good to use session view. I'm much the same as the original poster in that often the structure / chord structure comes first before adding what needs to be added. The grid nature of the session view makes cert...

I'm taking a breather from trying to pull a track together. The track is a studio recording with about 30 tracks of audio and I thought I'd try to move it from Logic Pro to Ableton as I've used Ableton before Logic and found it more immediate. I now realise why I went to Logic. As a DAW Ableton miss...
