it recognizes my oxygen 8 because it lets me play notes when i use operator. however im trying to map the keys to launch clips and in midi map map when i klick the clip i want then hit the key it dosnt recognize anything. My new laptop came with windows 64bit... i think i may need to update drivers?...

Thanks that helped. So once ive learned to use global quantization and swing my track will have "groove"? Quantize and swing make ur drum paterns sound more natural correct? somone said it was for live production, like launching clips with an apc 40.

also if anyone knows has any creative ideas right now im producing with a mouse keyboard and oxygen 8... any insight would be much apreciated after the midi mapping problem is solved. thanks everyone for your time.

For some reason i cant map my midi contoller... It plays notes in operator when i build sound, but im trying to map the keys to launch clips and also the knobs to peramaters but it dosnt seem to recognize any buttons i touch when im in midi map mode. I bought a new laptop of neweeg that was suposed ...

So can I get some quick instructions or long, whatever ur down for. On, what exactly quantization is and how it affects your track. What exactly groove is an a what changing global groove dose. What the difference between the two is and also possibly suggest noob tutorials. I like house electro hous...

In a tutorial video I saw this guy changed a global groove that was up by bpms. It's not there for me, ne ideas?

It seems like massive produces much dirtier sounds.. is it easy to use massive in conjunction with ableton? are there any other programs anyone would recomend looking into.

I was told that if I used ableton as a plug in with pro tools i could make a full composition in ableton that i was satisfied with. then in pro tools u can load it up and seperate each track and eq them until u get it perfect. he also said somthing about pro tools having this tool that raises or low...

im not really trying to make a mix. im trying to make a drum beat. and i have the patern i want. its just i cant get the eq maybe or something right. i duno like i said maybe my speakers just suck... but i thought there might be a way to use the arpagiator or some effect to make smooter sounding.

ok so im wondering how to get my drum loops to sound more smooth.. i got some paterns down for like a drum n bass type beat... also adding hi hat too the mix and my bass line... i cant get all 3 to mash up right it seems. i am paying atention to the lengh of measures each loop is... but it sounds li...

ok the novation thing looks tight i checked it out. so with the launch pad theres no knobs or anything if ur playing live and u just wana add some effects how do u do that? have them assigned to a certain pad in each track? then u could control effects individually for each clip in each scene?? can ...

dose the novation sl have enough knobs and things for mapping effects?

I have finally figured ableton out to the point where i have decided it would be beneficial to own a midi controller. Im not sure but is the APC 40 more for performing live, and recording and mixing you're clips in session view when you make an arrangement? Where as a midi controller like the akai m...

it seems too me that playing with live without a controler is silly. i was looking and the akai mpk 25 looks nice, it has keys and pads as well as quite a few nobs with 2 banks or somthing like that. also from what i can tell the apc 40 is a tool for composition and live performance where as a midi ...

wanted to add, im shopping for a midi controler too. i was told the apc 40 was a good choice. i mainly want to just produce for now with ableton so im not worried as much about playing live. just wana make hip hop beats and dub step beats. dose a mini korg work well with ableton? is there any good p...
