Ableton Forum

I'm a relatively new arrival to Ableton, and I'm having some issues with my audio interface that I'm hoping someone here can help me with.

I use a Line6 UX8 interface (USB2). It has been rock-solid for me elsewhere (Cubase 5 and Sonar 8), but it just doesn't seem to get along that well with Live. I ...

Can anybody tell me what's the differnce betwenn Midistroke and Bome's Midi trabslator?

Well for one, MIDIstroke is Mac-only, so I can't say much more about it (I'm on PC).

I will say that the freeware version of Bome seems to do exactly what I was looking for, with very little hassle. Only ...

um....yeah. Must have been tired last night, that's a pretty obvious fix, innit?

I'll give that a shot later today and post back.

So tonight I tried playing around with using Bome (the classic/freeware version)to add some functionality to my new APC 40. It was killing me that no "undo" function was available from the device, so I routed the signal through Bome to remap my "Nudge -" button to a "Ctrl z" keystroke. Worked like a ...

I'm using a keyboard controller (Yamaha KX8) with 8 assignable knobs to control Ableton: I'd love to use those 8 knobs to control the 8 Macro Controls for whatever plugin I'm currently focusing on, but cannot seem to get that to work. It's easy enough to assign the knobs to control the Macros for ...

Hey all...I come from a more traditional DAW app background, and I've been playing around w/ the Live 6 demo, trying to see if it would work for me as something I could do full mixes in. I use a large Mackie Control setup (1 MCU w/ 3 XT units), and I'm used to using the control surface to control ...

I've been looking into switching to Live as my primary mixing application...but I've noticed what appears to be a serious shortcoming in Live when it comes to more traditional mixing methods: is there no way to pan a send? I'm able to do this in every other recent DAW application that I've tried, so ...

Is it possible to preview MIDI clips in the browser through a given MIDI track/instrument?

In other words, I have a drum kit loaded up (Battery) in a MIDI track, I'd like to be able to browse through the various MIDI drum clips I have, played through Battery, but as it is, they are just played ...

read yesterday on the Mackie site that one is being developed, and will be available soon.

Figured it was something like that...thanks for the quick response.

Hey all...I've been playing around w/ the demo, loving it so far, and thinking about picking up a copy. I have two quick questions that have come up thus far:

1) I'm using a Mackie MCU (and probably one of the few who is burned by the fact that Live only supports 2 XT units, but no biggie since I ...
