Ableton Forum

Hi,

I've just been trying out the ability in Live 8 to select parameters... nice, except often things have the same name, so for example I end up with a load of crossfaders labelled 'cutoff'! It would be great if we could rename these crossfaders.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi, Live 8 doesn't seem to have updated the slicing presets. I just sliced a beat with the 'built-in 0-vel' preset and I wasn't hearing anything but clicks. I took a closer look at the macro control and it seems to be starting at 0% on the left. The default built-in slicing preset now has it set to ...

Thanks salanimi! Exactly what I wanted.

Hi, I was just trying to halve the tempo of a midi clip so I could double my project bpm. However, the midi clip was originally created at 120bpm before I then lowered the project bpm to 90bpm so Ableton was halving it from the original 120. If I change the value of the clip to the value I actually ...

Thanks, you've both been helpful

I actually sent this as a support request but I have received no response other than the auto reply!

How do you de-authorize an install so that Live can be installed on another machine?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi, It would be *really* useful to me to be able to send individual parts of my drum or instrument racks to the master busses rather than the busses internal to the racks. If I want to send parts from different racks to the same reverb it means duplicating the reverbs (wasteful) or merging all the p...

Hey Smiley, Well, if I have plug-in buffer set to "As Audio Buffer" it all works for me at 32... the weird thing is that Sound toys doesn't at 33 or any number that is not a multiple of 32. The plug-in buffer settings only let you select in multiples of 32 so that is why that was fixing th...

Ok, this is interesting for any RME/Sound Toys users out there... when using the audio unit versions of the plugins a buffer size that is not a multiple of 32 will cause the Sound Toys plugins to distort. When I set it to 33, distortion. 32, no problems. Does anyone know why this is? I've reported i...

Ok, If I select a buffer size of 45 samples and a plug-in buffer size of 32 the Sound Toys plugins work perfectly with no latency... I can play Zebra through a FilterFreak perfectly. However, if I put 'As Audio Buffer', my buffer size has to be set to 250 before FilterFreak won't distort horribly. W...

Hi,

If I have some midi I've copied to the clipboard, how do I choose where to paste it into the clip? Live just seems to do whatever it wants!

Thanks,

Alex

All of that on the pitch envelope would be good too

I find it frustrating that the envelopes get retriggered on every note. I end up just using clip envelopes instead. It would be useful to have the 'no retrigger' option on envelopes as well as LFOs. Unless I'm missing something? Also, it would be useful to define points on the clip envelope in terms...

Hi, I was wondering, does Live keep a secret bounce of the Live clips somewhere for when it's doing previews (that it can then warp to match current host tempo) or does it actually load up the whole chain for the clip on the fly (quite a feat!)? I have some clips that are quite long and if Live was ...

All good ideas Longjohns, thanks!

I love Ableton, there's always ways

All the best
