Ableton Forum

Thanks Kodama, I only really want to play a lot of chords and a few solo runs (I don't really need anything like pitch bend or stuff, I can always programme that in later), so I guess as long as I'm sending to one MIDI channel I ought to get the desired effect. It does look a bit flimsy, but I'll on...

I notice one post on this about two years ago attracted no responses but I'm hoping maybe more people know about this now. I am a very good guitarist but a frankly crap keyboard player and it takes me forever to play or programme MIDI tracks and parts in Ableton for pianos, strings, horns, synths, e...

Dat's like, well bangin' innit?

I'll give that a go.

Thanks Dave!

Not sure if its the same problem but I get pops and clicks after about 40 minutes use, regardless of number of tracks, CPU usage etc. Save the file I'm working on, close Live, re-open Live, and hey presto! It's gone. 40 minutes later they come back again. Luckily I'm just doing Home Studio stuff but...

Anyone tried using this free VST - its basically a guitar tuner, got it off the KVR site. Anyway, once installed in the VST folder, the moment I launch Live 5 and try to drag the VST to an audio track I get a fatal crash. Delete the VST from the folder - all fine again. Anyone else come across this?...

Haven't tried it with Quicktime, but have tried it with other web based 'play only' applications: Simply plug the left and right audio outs on the soundcard to the left and right audio in, make sure Live monitor for the channel is set to 'off' (otherwise you'll get an infinite 'loop echo' effect goi...

Well, they'd better not use any of my tracks or I'll sue!!

You could try using soundfonts. load sfz (or whatever its called, free soundfont vst) and then go to

http://www.sf2midi.com/

and do a search for the instruments you need. There is a shakuhachi, I looked, but I didn't get around to loading it and seeing how good it was.

Whoa! Thought I was pushing it at 50-odd% but I'm just a novice!

Nurse!! More softsynths!!!

I've recently downloaded this and I too got the hard crash treatment from Live 5.01 so here's hoping with the old version of Turntablist.

a-wicky-wicky-wicky....

I got Ableton primarily as a multitracker (I'd been using Cubase up until recently) but must admit the prospect of being able to play around with sound samples was a big attraction and I'm hoping this adds a new dimension to my creativity.

I too get the clicks and drop outs after 20-30 mins of use.

Save -> Close -> Re-open fixes it. Luckily I'm not using this live, only as a home studio so its just a minor pain, but it is there and it ought not to be.
