The midi pedal option for guitar works well if you are proficient at midi cc programming, there are resources and tutorials specifically for pedals such as the behringer http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FCB1010. My local music store recommended the 1010 - but I'm NOT proficient at this at all...

I've also noticed this, and think it has something to do with what automation parameter is showing in the track. If there's no parameter selected & you right click, you get the 'Insert MIDI clip' option. If there *is* some parameter selected in the automation drop down box for the track, you get...

I've been trying to get out of the Session rut by focusing on Arrangement more. One thing I've found somewhat annoying is constantly having automation displayed. Generally in the process of writing, I don't need to see automation at all, and I have accidentally moved/changed automation lines while t...

You can't expand the *mixer* fully this way. Clip editor, yes. Mixer, no.

Definite lol from me.

This will be my first upgrade where I want to actually carry things over from the old computer to the new one. I'm just looking for best practices/suggestions on how to go about this process. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have a 64bit Win 10 PC, but I don't use it for Ableton, I have a Ma...

I'd like to be able to make the mixer view full screen on a second monitor; the same way that you can when viewing an individual clip. I don't use Session and Arrangement together much, but I *do* use the mixer and arrangement window in conjunction a lot, and when I do, at least 40% of my second scr...

D'oh, probably would have been helpful information to leave. Current machine is Windows 7 64 bit, new machine is Windows 10 64 bit.

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a new computer. I've been working on the same machine since 2009. This will be my first upgrade where I want to actually carry things over from the old computer to the new one. I'm just looking for best practices/suggestions on how to go about this process. Any sug...

Kind of sucks that Push seems to be dominating all their time & effort these days. Seems like a chef spending all their time working on side orders & ignoring the entree. I wonder what percentage of Live users even own a Push.

Very cool, thanks.

Unfortunately, not, as far as I know. http://forum.keithmcmillen.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=1167&p=4971&hilit=latch#p4971 by TheSupport@KMI » Tue Jul 23, 2013 12:53 pm Currently there is not a way to have the lights turn off when releasing a latching pad. We programmed it so they'd stay on...

I think you have to make sure X/Y Return is 0. From manual:

X/Y Return is the value that X and Y CC#s will return to when the Pad is released. If the number box is set below 0 the values will “latch”, staying where they were left when the pad was released.

I used to love Looper dearly, but the PDC fix caused a weird issue for me that I'm still unable to get comfortable with. https://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=216771 This has never been an issue for me in the past, but recently, Looper falls out of sync with my set, but only after I turn...

With a little digging, you can find these for $50-60 usually, and they work perfectly with Live. Compact, bus powered, 4 switches & a dual function Volume/Wah pedal. I will never understand using an FCB (and I owned one for a long time) over the Line 6 FBV or Shortboard (if you need more pedals)...
