So what I'm trying to do is Take a three minute song with a consistent tempo and convert the kick and snare pattern to midi. However I want to be very very exact to get the groove correct and I want to do this manually. So my ultimate goal is to mark where I think the kick and snare transients are a...

Anyone know how I can avoid inconsistencies when warping long tracks. I'm using just 1 marker, warp from here straight then duplicating the clip. I add warp markers at kicks for one copy and markers for snare at the second copy. The problem is at the end, the tracks no longer align. Am I doing somet...

Still no luck with sound. That worked I can see the Prophet 6 listed in External instrument but no sound. I don't get it, I must be missing something wrong. I sent an email to the Dave Smith team. Might email Ableton too.

I'm on a Mac. I'll go through those steps after work. I think I have all those set up except for #4. I don't have "prophet 6" as an option, i have been selecting my audio interface.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried it but it is still not working. I can record midi without sound from the synth. I can send midi to the synth and hear it playing with headphones connected to the synth. But I can't get the sound from the synth into Ableton.

I have the Presonus Audiobox I Two Audio interface using it to connect a prophet 6 synth to Ableton. I can record midi notes from synth but cannot hear or record sound through the interface. Any thought on why? Cables are new. I verified cables in are connected to out and out go to in. I also double...

Agreed, the way I see it, only about 1% of everything I'll do will be good. When you realize that it really gets you motivated to do a lot of work in anticipation of getting to that 1 in 100 song. I like the analogy of the top of the mountain . I think of it like a mountain climbing. You have to tak...

Sound very promising. I'll give this a try later tonight. Would be great if it works. ...after I'm done watching this breaking bad episode. Did he really get LDPE plastic?

How can I record audio from a midi track through starting and stopping an entire arrangement (not just the track). Recording stops automatically when pressing stop for whole arrangement. I'm getting very interesting artifacts while pressing start and stop for entire file in session view that I can't...

I'm in the process of learning music theory. I did figure out one easy way to compose chords without knowing theory. This is similar to broccoli's steps 1. Decide on a key. Decide if it's major or minor. 2. Go to midi editor. look up the scale and enter every note of that scale on the same quarter n...

It's easy. Each pad of the drum rack has a send. Just make sure you click on the show chain list of the drum rack at the left. Make sure I-O is clicked and S and R is clicked on in the drum rack at the left. Now you can set up custom returns for the rack or use the returns you have set up for the pr...

So here's the dilemma. I installed ableton on a new laptop but did not activated yet (last laptop was stolen I was waiting approval from Ableton for license) The last few days I put in a lot of effort and created an arrangement that I'm very excited about. Anyone know how I can activated now without...

Seems like you should just use 1 flute sample, insert in on a midi track in simpler. Transpose the sample to C. Then play your keyboard. Ideally you use multi sample flute with sampler.

I filed a police report. I was able to set up and auto message to anyone that turns on the laptop on and connects. I asked if they could just email me the als files anonymously. If I have those I can recreate the tracks. I've compiled a pretty immense custom sample diary the last year-these samples ...

I just had my laptop stolen from my car. My monome and controller were in the same bag and were also stolen. This is depressing. I had a year worth of work on it, I did sketches almost every day. I had A few tracks especially that I was really excited about, with a lot of detail and work. Of course ...
