Hi all, I'm sure this is a common issue and I'm hoping there's an equally common easy fix. But when I upgrade to a newer version of a plugin - eg: Guitar Rig 5, and I load an old project, it looks for Guitar Rig 4, can't find it and says VST can't be found. No matter I have a newer version, however,...

No FX loaded in Maschine, just loading a kit. No tricky routing to or from Maschine - not even send returns - just Maschine running straight to the Master channel.

I have Guitar Rig running in this project but on a completely separate channel.

I've seen this issue posted a couple of times on the NI and Ableton forums but none of the fixes work for me. When I run Maschine inside an existing Abelton project, Maschine runs about 50 ms too fast. The Track Sync function in Ableton makes no change to this, no matter what value I enter. On the N...

Hi there, Does anyone have a Novation template for controlling a Matrix 1000? I've read some posts on the Oberheim and Novation user groups on Yahoo but no one has actually posted a working template. I was about to liquidate my Remote SL as I've just acquired a Machine, but when I discovered it can ...

Hi all, I just purchased a 61 key midi keyboard and I'd like to have it on my desk right behind my computer keyboard. There are plenty of angled computer keyboard stands on the market, like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Viziflex-Angled-Keyboard-Stand-Improving-Typing-Speed-/400215533327 But I can...

Hey there - is anyone successfully using MidiQuest10 XL in Live 8.3? MidiQuest runs fine in standalone mode, but the whole reason I got it was to use it as a VST inside Live to send automation parameters to my old analog gear. Everytime I run Live it gives me an error and cannot load the MidiQuest ....

Hi there,

I've done this. Support reply doesn't understand the problem I'm explaining and says recording automation works with or without Automap. Will let you know if they find a fix.

Cheers,
Davros

I have / had the same issue. Solution? Turn off Automap!

Question is, why can't I have Automap running when I record automation into Live?

The idea is this: let's assume you have multiple tracks going into a bus that consists a long reverb. In case you just place an eq after the reverb on the bus you sure get to eqing the sum, but if you bounce every return bus of each track to an audio file and eq them individually you get to control...

Hi Jimmy, Thanks for the suggestion, however it would be easier to simply run 3 or 4 instances of the synth, pan them accordingly and simply delete certain midi notes of the pattern from each instance. This may actually be the correct / normal way to do it, I just wondered if there was a path of les...

Hi Golemus,

Yeah I've looked for a function like that in the synth I'm using (Sylenth) and can't see it. There are panning options but it has the same effect as automating an external pan using Ableton.

Hi Leifon, Can you please explain the idea of "bouncing" your return tracks. Does this mean that you export the output of the returns to a separate audio file and then apply EQ to that file before reintroducing to the final mix? Why is this superior to simply placing an EQ on the output of...

Hi all, I've done quite a bit of searching on this topic and can't find an answer, however I'm looking for some simple techniques for placing individual notes from a synth pattern to different places in the stereo mix. It's an effect I hear used a lot and the workaround I've been using is automating...

Thanks for the advice. Where are the settings for input latency and track delay? Are these in the IO settings menu for the specific track taking the audio input?

Hey there, I've just acquired a TB303 and a Doepfer MSY2 midi to sync converter so I can sync the 303 to my session in Ableton, however I'm getting a severe latency issue with the 303. It's starting late, between 1/2 and 3/4 of a beat late after I hit play in Ableton. Also, the degree of latency see...
