Ableton Forum

Hey there, I'm getting into the sampling game (I've resisted, but I just woke up one day and said "why not"), anyone know a good source for acapellas? I don't mind paying, as long as I can preview. I can manipulate the tempo by using warp markers, but can I manipulate both the tempo AND th...

I'm sure I am not the first to ask, and I know I will never be the last; but how to you get your drums and instruments to coexist and work well together without sounding muddy, or overshadowing one another? drums- I have tried blending my kicks. I usually take one low (cut it off so that its 60-80),...

Hey all, I'm having a very strange problem. when I'm recording and looping with the ableton looper, everything is peachy right up untill I decide to switch to another track (hit "record arm"). When I do this, the looper gets out of synch from the rest of the clips (which remain in synch). ...

First I want to thank this forum for over a year of generous help and advice. I'm upgrading from an hp pavillion using usb, to a firewire setup. I know i'm kind of doing things backwards, but I bought a presonus firepod, and now I'm buying a new laptop. My budget is 700 usd AT MOST (I know I know, b...

Greetings, I'm new to live and still understanding some concepts.Right now I'm trying to get a deep bass kick tone (i.e. the kind you hear in electronic music, and hip hop). here are a couple of key concepts that I kind of get, but I could use some filling in: sampling- is it possible to start out w...

Thanks ansiaa, I would have never known to look for theose specs. Im definitely finding a lot of 400 cards but im not sure about the texas instrument chips. Could you recommend anything? Its for a laptop.

I'm looking at two different audio interfaces, the fast track ultra and the focusrite saffire pro 24, to upgrade from my behringer uca222. both fall within my price range, but I am pretty new to much of this so any advice or further clarification would help me out so much (I dont want to blow 300 bu...

I am having an issue with my MIDI tracks, hopefully someone out there knows a fix (or has at least experienced it). I recorded a four bar melody with my korg r3 as a controller, using one of lives violin effects (instruments-->strings-->boroque). At the time the track was playing back properly, but ...

Im running windows 7 64 bit with live 8. Currently I do the bulk of my recording through my R3 synth into a beringher uca 222 usb interface. For 30 bucks its been good to me, but I have some latency issues (even though its advertised as "low latency") and while I cant prove it, Im pretty s...

i have it all figured out, I appreciate the help

Alright, so now I have my R3 hooked up via usb (which makes much more sense, thank you for setting me straight). under devices, I have a few options for the r3. inputs: r3, midi in 2 (r3). outputs: r3. midi out 2 (r3). im not sure if i should have all of them selected. or just the r3's (input and ou...

hrm. I have to be honest, I always assumed that I needed some sort of midi interface. are you saying that I only need a usb cable?

Alright, so my main instrument is the korg r3 (which i record into ableton through the ASIO driver) but im trying to use the r3 as a midi controller. I switched back to my computers soundcard and im using the midisport 1x1 on windows 7 64x (which i have downloaded a driver for). In midi preferences ...
