Re: Arturia Keystep as external instrument

Sorry, from me too, Threaded - I totally ignored the external synth part. Let me think - I swear this behaves in a similar way to my Novation SL61 MkIII. That has an internal seq too, and it's given me grief before. There should be a way to bypass the seq. On my keyboard I can toggle between interna...

Re: Arturia Keystep as external instrument

Got it. So when you hit play in Live, it triggers the Keystep's internal sequencer? Yup -that's a thing that happens a lot with hardware with their own sequencers. I *think* this should sort you out: - Go to Preferences > Link/Tempo/MIDI - You should see the Arturia listed under MIDI PORTS - there a...

Re: Using EQs correctly mixing stage

Yup, EQ8 on each track is pretty much how I go, too. Works great - no faffing around!

Re: Export not working

Thank you - I will try this and report back. EDIT: I entered my email at https://ableton.centercode.com to sign up for the beta about 2 hours ago and haven't gotten a verification email yet. I checked my spam & tried a few different emails, not sure if this is normal. I will wait a bit longer b...

You can slice in Simpler, then right-click on the Simpler instrument header and choose “Convert to Sampler”.

That way you get the best of both worlds!
Wait. What? You absolutely win. I didn't know this!

Re: Ableton upgrades and Arturia

Hey hey, Wanted to hop in here. Yup, if you upgrade Live to Standard or Suite, you'll have access to more synths. Some folks like them, some don't. You might want to try a demo and see how you get on. I LOVE Arturia's stuff. I think Analog Lab is a great way to go if you don't want to get bogged dow...

Re: A question for mixing engineers

Hey mate, I think you kind of answered this yourself - yup, the beats would take away from the vocal. If the vocal is the star of the show, and most times it is, then other things have got to give way for it. Without a vocal, up the other stuff! A mix is like a box - there's only so much stuff you c...

Re: Why can't I hear my plugins effects live while recording?

I'm out. Nothing but shit-talk from the OP, not a single acknowledgment of the fact several folks have reached out to help.

I just don't understand some people.

Re: Compressor on input to mono file

Thanks but unfortunately that doesn't give me a mono file So, you have a stereo vocal, and after adding a utility (set to mono) and a compressor (Ableton stock compressor?) you still have a stereo output? Hmmmmm. It totally should give you a mono file. Is there anything else on the track or the mas...

Re: Why can't I hear my plugins effects live while recording?

In addition to the questions here, how are you monitoring the vocal? Like Da Hand said, screenshots would be awesome. Also, does your audio interface have direct monitoring? You might be hearing the raw output from the interface, as opposed to it being routed through Ableton's audio mixer. By the wa...

Yes, mate! I think that's perfectly appropriate mate. Bussing those tracks is a great idea.
