Ableton Forum

Loving the blog. Great idea!

Ok, don't worry. I eventually found it. Under the Help View, there is a section that says "Show all add-on Lessons" and it was under there.

I have tried that, but it only shows the Ableton help topics. I cannot find the puremagnetik's retro synth help topic in the Help View.

Any other ideas.

I have downloaded and installed the Retro Synth Ableton Pack. When it had first installed Ableton presented you with a Help screen relating to the Retro Synth pack, with links with linked to the relevant folder in the sample pack. After I closed Ableton and opened it again that help window had disap...

Live does seem more fun to work in. Sometime it feels more like a chore in Logic. I'm loving the drum racks. So much easier building up a drum kit, that it is in the EXS24. I also love you how you can use Velocity percentages to change the velocity of your hits. To do this in Logic is so much more o...

Thanks for the advice guys.

Time to get composing in Live!

Cool thanks. I have been mainly composing in Logic, and then have been bouncing stems down to Ableton to use for Live use. So I haven't really used Ableton for composing. But after watching a few tutorials I can really see how it can work for me. Just trying to plan how to do the transition. I also ...

Has anyone here moved away from Logic to Ableton? I have been using Logic for the last 7 years. I purchased Ableton last year and having been watching alot of tutorials on the application. I am very surprised on what interesting stuff you can do with the application from a composing point of view. I...

I have the Launchpad setup in the MIDI preferences with Track and Remote set as On. But the lights do not come on on the Launchpad when in rewire mode. So I cannot choose User 1 mode.

I had an Ableton project setup with a drum rack using User 1 Mode. It was also setup so that when drum hits were playd the LED pads responded accordingly. But when I open Ableton up in Rewire mode the Launchpad is not active in Control Surface Mode and none of the LED's respond.

I am wanting to use the Launchpad as my control surface in Ableton. But when I rewire Ableton to Logic, I can no longer use the launchpad as my control surface as Logic takes over. Is there a way to work around this. I want to use Logic as my main DAW, but use Ableton for the Drum Racks and I want t...

Thanks pedroschki.

I will check out the Roland and Yamaha units. My percussionist is using sticks and hands on his drums so that is perfect. Thanks.

I am looking for a Velocity sensitive Hand Drum MIDI controller for Ableton. I don't need a controller like the Roland ones with built-in sounds as I will be using drum samples from Ableton and assign that channel to the Hand Drum Midi controller. I have a percussionist in my band that is using cong...

I have just upgraded from 8.0.5 to 8.2.1. After launching Live it cannot find the samples from the EIC2 Keys pack. Do I need to re-install these. Why did Live lose them after the upgrade. I tried scanning my system for the missing files. But could not find them. After the upgrade the EIC2 Keys is no...

Get the Korg Microkey. It feels great and sits nicely with my Macbook Pro 13-inch due to it's size.

It takes a bit of getting used to the smaller keys, but they really do have a much better feel and response to some of the other MIDI controllers in the same price range.
