To put you out of your misery, you can't disable a warning about how the software experienced an issue because of the unconventional way you are using it. In cases like this where you have a specific need that goes against the way things should be done (doing a proper system shutdown) you need to de...

Just lookup how to use session view mode, it’s prob right at the top of the basics list of things to know about live

Why not just load into clip slots?

No

Hard to say with no information.

CPU and computer specs?
Audio interface model ?
Sample rate and buffer settings?
What instruments?

Well, can you define "long" as a unit of measure rather than a generalise description? If it takes 2 hours, yes that is long. If it takes 2 minutes, that is not really all that long considering... While you say I don't have much activity in the file The amount of "activity" you h...

I found the waves plugin files located in C:\program files (x86)\ That is a 32bit folder location and so no plugins from that location (unless you have butchered your installations completely) will load into Live. Waves does not install to a custom location, it is retarded and has a set location th...

Well I always find (and suggest) that if you are able to test a theory to find an answer, it's the best way to find the answer :) So what I would suggest is doing a test with what you have before deciding if you need something you are unsure you need. How does stuff play at the moment? How is Latenc...

Need to know your interface, CPU model, the setup of your audio preferences for ASIO (what is your sample rate and buffer setting) and what tracks do you have. Are you on a laptop? Have you disabled all low power and power saving options for CPU, HDD and USB devices? Check through the info Mark post...

A few points to clarify here... I got a Rubix 24 recently (a Christmas present actually) and have absolutely no idea how to use it. I have been browsing the Live11 manual and various topics included but they all seem to assume one has a modicum of knowledge. Correct. Live is not strictly for an abso...

having quite a hard time with Ableton even with the manual and online vids. Yeah this will always be the case when you first start out, does take some time to build knowledge and skill. Starting out as a level 0 character you will struggle with the basics. What is in your instrument rack? What are ...

This is why you add a note to each track on what are the instruments and fx used. If you don’t have some kind of notes then things are gonna suck when you stuck.

No idea but I got some cool sounds of dishwashers and clothes dryers if that may help

Great list of advice there, it's clear jlgrimes learned the same techniques and suggestions over the years that we all have. I would also add on the suggestion of a cheap set of speakers to throw your music onto anything you can play it on. After all, you probably like what you make and love to list...

C:/Program Files > This is a 64bit location, software/plugins installed here are 64bit and will work with Ableton Live C:/Program Files (x86) > This is a 32bit location. Plugins that are VST32 bit are not compatible with Live (as it is a 64bit application) and so will not work. Don't mix these up. I...
