I laughed at that way more than I should have. Thanks.

Just open the sidebar in Preview (or whatever PDF viewer you're using.)

I think you were right, beats. After I paid for a legit license to use the forum, it's working better now. (The guy I bought the previous version from swore it wasn't a crack, but you just can't trust eBay sellers anymore.) But seriously, it does seem like something changed in the last few days. My ...

That's really interesting. Thanks for doing the experiment and posting the results.

Slice to MIDI is not showing up in my context menu, and it is greyed out in the 'Create' menu at the top. Anyone else? Am I missing something to enable it? Are you sure it's not already a MIDI clip? Slice to MIDI only works on audio clips. Many of the clips that come with Live (especially drum loop...

Thanks for giving it a listen! Just to be sure, for the C two octaves below middle C -- it's not just an 'overtone' that you have to listen critically to pick out -- it's a glaring and odd sound, right? (at least for the "mellow" piano) Yeah, it's not a subtle thing, it jumps out pretty p...

FWIW, it's not just you. I hear it, too. Actually, several of the low notes in just about all the Grand Piano sounds have some odd overtones. Some of them are audible in the raw samples, so I have to assume they're characteristic of the particular instrument the samples were recorded from. In other ...

Yeah, you want to learn about the "Snap" button and the "Fade" control. The click is caused because the end of the loop section is at a different amplitude than the start of the loop section, so when it jumps from the end back to the start, there's a sudden big jump in the wavefo...

This has been bugging me since day one, so it's time I got to the bottom of it. I try to log in to the forum with the "Login" link in the upper left hand corner. I enter my ableton.com account name and password. I get an error saying "Login failed. If you have an ableton.com account a...

Note at the beginning of the clip with the red title "25 2-Audio-1", there's a brief fade-in indicated. It's kind of hard to see behind the text. Check the "Create Fades on Clip Edges" setting in the Record/Warp/Launch tab of the preferences.

The Live 9 library contains most (maybe all?) of the same content as the Live 8 library. However, additional features have been added to the clips, presets, etc. and they've been reorganized to fit the new browser structure in Live 9. So basically, yeah, to take advantage of the new features of Live...

Don't know what to say. It's working fine here. I can copy & paste clips into the same track in both session and arrange views using key commands, right-click (context) menu, main menu, and drag-and-drop.

Yep. I'm a happy upgrader, too. Yes, I'm having to adjust my workflow to some of the changes, and I'm hoping that future updates will smooth over some rough spots, but there's nothing stopping me from making music with Live 9 right now. I'm confident things will get better over time, and I'm OK with...

I just watched this. It's a series of high quality videos that do a really good job of explaining and demonstrating what's new in Live 9. If you're still on the fence about whether to upgrade or not, these videos might help you make up your mind.
