Re: Differences between trial version and full versions?

I seem to be able to save and export, for 90 days apparently. Just curious which version it is I'm trialing as it's not very clear! I think you can trial any of the versions ... Suite has significantly more content. Do you have wavetable? If so, you’re on Suite. All versions are 20% off (and includ...

Re: Novation SL mk3 - VST mappings

Hey mate, The board plays very nicely with Ableton native instruments and devices (and even hardware!). If you're using a third party device/instrument, I *think* you'll need to map the parameters you want to tweak to an Ableton rack, but then you'll be good to go. I don't think you can browse prese...

Anterist -thanks so much for posting your solution! This is excellent news for people who experience something similar. Cheers, mate!

PS: Glad you fixed it - sounds like an epic process!

Re: Warble With No Solution. Help!

This either sounds like a delay effect...or.... Check your audio tracks - Live sometimes has an annoying habit of defaulting to an audio input straight from your interface so that might be causing feedback (which this kinda sounds like). In the mixer view, keep an eye out for signal input (you'll us...

Re: Is ableton garbage for musicians who use physical instruments?

I use Live for live instruments all the time, mate. As do a lot of other folk here...and a multitude of performers and artists. Ableton is a beast, and sometimes it takes patience and a bit of Googlin' to figure it out. Given you've only been using this a week... Like Darren said, direct monitoring ...

Re: Mastered Tracks Clipping my master?

Sounds like there is something very wonky going on here...low signal is clipping. The only thing I can think of is that your kick is clipping inside of Sampler, Kontakt, Kick 2 or whatever you're using for your kicks. Check the device output (NOT the track output) isn't in the red. Happens more than...

Re: Spectrum analyzer on the master.

Yeah, I don't think you can with the native Live devices - although I think that's an excellent example of where doing so would be super useful.

Re: Live Instruments are out of tune

I noticed this too. It’s one of the things making me think twice about Ableton. Standard tuning should be the default, no? This has nothing to do with Live! Yes, I know. It was explained above. It’s J.S. Bach’s fault. Seriously, stating that Live isn’t the issue isn’t helpful. I heard what I heard....

Re: Live 11 is coming !!!

Hello everyone ! Hope I don't sound too "basic" or newbie lobby, but I just need a clear explanation regarding installing Live 11 on a machine where I already have Live 10 Suite installed. Should I install first Live 11...and after uninstall Live 10? ( I do not want to keep both versions)...

Re: pack: Electric Pianos

Hi all of you, must not be free, but more than 300 € $ L, whatever, is nearly more than the cost of live :D . I will try the free spitfire first (but why do I need to install an installer :roll: ) Interesting: all the example videos at the site are with a band, nearly not possible to listen to the ...

How are you importing in Live?

Re: Sustain, Attack & Release for Organ VST

Kind of, but you'll have to get a little creative. You could convert the organ VST into a Simpler/Sampler instrument (or Kontakt) and then mess with the envelopes in the sampler. You'll probably have to record different snippets and reassemble stuff... Or, I guess you could automate the volume envel...

Re: Vocals Doubling/ How to mute master/return tracks

Sounds like you have some tracks with inputs activated - so you're receiving the same signal on some tracks - might require going through each track while playing your vocal to see where those incoming signals are. Another thought - what audio interface are you using? It's really easy on Apollo inte...
