Re: Exporting a whole song

Thank you. Will this work for multiple tracks? I'm assuming crt A in the arrangement view will highlight all? Yes, if you select across multiple tracks, it will render them all into one file. Ctrl-A works for different contexts, so it depends where you click first. It will work as you want if you c...

Re: Midi out from Ableton

If your setup or workflow doesn't require it, then you don't need it. But the are so many reasons why you would need to send MIDI info out from the DAW. Here are just a few examples: - If you want to write or record MIDI notes and parameter automation in Ableton Live and then have all that informati...

Re: Why do I get distorted/crackling sounds?

Apart from all the great information already given, I used to be able to use USB interfaces with this computer and run Logic or Ableton just fine. So what has changed on the computer since then? OS updates? Driver updates? DAW updates? Other software installed in the meantime. Etc... Unless it is a ...

Re: Setup problems [no sound]

I can get sound through the headphones on the Focusrite when I have the guitar plugged into it, and 'direct monitoring' selected. No output from Ableton unless I switch away from the ASIO drivers You need to have 'Direct Monitoring" set to OFF to hear Ableton Live. Also make sure the master ch...

Re: HELP - Ableton 10 Sending and Midi CCs

Just a quick tip. It's ok to call a clip just a clip. When you say "row", it can confuse people that maybe you also mean a Scene. In Session View: Track = The entire column Scene = The entire row Clip = The one clip in one square Also one MIDI connection has 16 MIDI channels, with each cha...

Re: "Instrument Rack" created by the "Group" menu item?

For any program or app, where you drag things specifically will give a different result. You can't just drag things in anywhere :wink: In Live, Instruments can only run in parallel, not in series. So to add a new instrument to a rack you need to create a new chain in the rack. Open the chain area wi...

Re: pack: Electric Pianos

I use Lounge Lizard by AAS for all my rhodes playing. The sound design settings are super flexible - you can get really gorgeous sounds out of it. I have the Arturia V Collection 7 and comparing the Rhodes instruments - I find the Lounge Lizard sound far superior for the sounds I want. It is also at...

Re: Quality and stereo loss when exporting

If you export in 16 bit, do you have the same problem? Also, what does your Master channel I/O output settings look like? Do you have any special routing via External Effects for example? Lastly, if I understand correctly, when you play your project in Live - the music/sound is clear and has a stere...
