Ableton Forum

Sorry I'm new to the party. I just got Maschine a couple of days ago and I came across this video on youtube. It has been extremely helpful but the only thing I can't do is have my midi clips in ableton trigger the sounds in maschine.
For example, I will have maschine asa vst plugin, I'll have an ...

I was wondering if anyone uses a USB direct drive turntable for any real time performance usage. Specifically, I am curious if the digital conversion is fast enough for live scratching in Ableton. I think it would be awesome to use different audio devices with scratching and use my apc40 as a mixer ...

So what is this script and where can I get it?


Yes you're right. Long clips are a hassle, but I don't plan on my slices being very long. As far as 128 different simpler selections, I could cut that down to a more comfortable setting with the macro mapping min/max if it becomes too troublesome ...

I'm trying to stay away from the mouse when I slice and edit audio to midi. I started by creating a slice preset but I'm having trouble implementing something. I want to have one of the macros on the rack select through the simpler devices on the slices. This way, the knob for the macro at position ...

@Slightlydelic - I would definitely try it in Sampler, but I decided to only get Live and not the Suite. BTW, I should rephrase what I said about Simpler. It does the job well in its own right from multisampling, but I don't think it's the best tool for slicing.

Has anyone out there used kontakt and/or battery as there main program for slicing audio and if so would you still recommend getting maschine?

I'm looking to replace my mpk61 with a smaller controller and the MPD32 looks really good but I've heard great things about maschine. The thing is that I ...

Isturite: Wow you have some really bad issues with that and luckily mine isn't that bad, but mine is a chronic problem just like yours.

TNC: I just bought my laptop 6 months ago and it runs just as fast as the day I bought it. Quad core, not octocore though, haha. I also DJ so I can have Serato and ...

There's only been one update since I've bought it and it hasn't helped. Soundwise, komplete is awesome except for acoustical stuff... At least without tweaking it. And I'd love to program my own sounds or tweak what acoustical sounds are given, but I don't have the time to do all that. And with 7000 ...

I really want to upgrade to Live 8 from Intro so I can actually slice to MIDI and edit racks, but now I'm thinking to just get the Suite boxed package and sell my box set of Komplete 6!

I started off with a Fantom G6 and man oh man was that thing awesome. I hated the sequencer though so I got ...

When I think of "preset to ableton live", I'm thinking it's preset like how the APC40 is preset to ableton. Stop button stops it, REC button records, and sliders control the volume of the track in the order it's seen, regardless if you rearrange them.
At least with what I'm talking about with the ...

So was there a solution for you all?

I just got my MPK61 and I'm trying to use it with Live Intro. The midi notes are all the same as the Vyzex software, but its not mapped to anything in Live... Sliders, knobs, and pitch/mod wheels don't control anything. How did you guys get it mapped?
Also the ...

You're right. I just downloaded the demo for absynth, kontakt and battery and all are really great. Well worth just getting the bundle. Thank goodness for kontakt being multi timbral because I only have Live Intro.
Now one thing I can't do with this demo is save. And coming from a Fantom where an ...

Okay did more research and it looks like Kontakt is largely popular and the song demos are awesome. Gotta DL the demo for sure. Maybe Komplete but I really don't need 7000 sounds...
Anyone use these?

I also see that some companies like loopmasters and primeloops make Live Packs. Anyone out there ...

I am looking for an excuse to allocate all of my music creation into ableton. I DJ in it, I do all of my sequencing in there, if I need to chop a sample or remix... I do it all in Live. But the one thing I dont do in Live is use its instruments. I have a Roland Fantom G6 for that and it's a BEAST ...

I swear we're looking at two totally different things here.


The only thing I can see that traktor has over this is 4 deck vinyl emulation. So if all of you people NEED to scratch on 4 decks at once, okay you got that part beat.

On every other single front, the collaboration does everything that ...
