Hi, I'm trying to map my DM6 drum kit and having issues. Could you please help? I plugged in my Alesis DM6 kit and loaded a drum kit in ableton, but a few of the pads didn’t map anything at all and several of the pads were incorrectly mapped (i.e. crash is triggered by the kick drums). What is the b...

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to change the headphone and monitor volume in Ableton. Could you please help? I know that i can use the master volume slider in ableton, but I want to adjust my own monitor volume while i am playing through ableton (without actually affecting the recording volume). ...

Thanks jestermgee, its perfect now!

Thank you everybody, those solutions work perfectly! I went with Ricksteruk's solution, though i think that the other solutions are related to another thing i'm trying to figure out. I'm now trying to figure out how to route the I/O properly to allow me to play piano sounds on my midi keyboard and o...

Hi I have a Korg nanopad that I want to use exclusively with Keyboard Maestro to control functions like scrolling lyrics (while playing other midi controllers in ableton), so I don’t want it to ever trigger any sounds in ableton. I havent been able to figure out how to make this work yet, could you ...

I want to use the looper in ableton live to record and broadcast live stream in-sync audio and video of multiple layers/loops of different instruments. Could you please help me understand how to do this or if this is possible now? What i can do now: I can loop audio easily using Ableton. For example...

can anyone please offer some advice about this? I really want to learn the Push, but still haven't been able to get a hang of the way that it times loops. Would very much appreciate it if someone could help

Okay. So first is the concept of understanding how to loop in Live in the most standard way that the software is fluent with. The idea is, and you can practice this with something simple like tapping a note at every beat and trying to loop just for experimentation/testing purposes, to know where th...

Thank you again for your help! - I was thinking it might be something like that. But I thought that it would only function like that when the Fixed Length Option was turned on? What is the purpose of the Fixed length option if the loop is always bound by a tempo and bar length? - By "playing a ...

Thanks again Tom!! I personally don't use the Looper in the traditional sense as you aim to do, but I think that in general the answer to your questions is: YES It can do pretty much all the things you described I think, but what it in general does not do well (at least hands free) is to record new ...

Hi, I’m a new Ableton and Push user and have a couple questions about timing loops/riffs that I play in note mode. I think these are basic questions, but haven’t yet been able to find the answer and it will make the push a lot more fun when I figure these out. Could you please help answer these ques...

wow thanks so much TomKern and yur2die4! i really appreciate such thoughtful responses! Here’s some follow ups for clarification : I personally don't use the Looper in the traditional sense as you aim to do, but I think that in general the answer to your questions is: YES It can do pretty much all t...

Hi, i’m a logic user that is considering switching to ableton for better live workflow. The main thing that i want to do is loop my instruments, and i also am interested in playing around with the push and other unique features of ableton. It would be really helpful to hear some opinions about this,...
