Resampling in a loop, to unfurl audio track?

I am pretty sure I used to be able to do this? So set up a 2 bar loop for example in the timeline with drums, vst's etc. Create Audio track and set to re-sampling. Record the output of Ableton, 'resampling' into the new Audio track, but as the loop, loops round with me twisting parameters live, all ...

Re: Setting a Recording folder?

Thank you. So I guess if I don’t save or name my Ableton project and just mess around with some ideas and close the program, that the audio recorded in the Temporary folder just gets deleted on exit closing Ableton? So I know that ideas I have scrapped will at least delete the audio so it’s not taki...

Setting a Recording folder?

Can I ask where resampling audio and general recordings go, once I record them? Is this all set up in the Preferences > Temporary Folder for any recordings or indeed resampling in the timeline (recordings?) I just wanted to make sure as I always record into an editor instead of the Ableton timeline ...

Re: Live 11 TV / Film scoring?

Hit points... well, my personal style is to try to avoid hitting things, unless it makes sense. I usually work in dramatic genres, where hitting cuts or anything "important" might be too on-the-nose. If you do need to hit something, meter changes, or a well planned tempo map is a better o...

Re: Live 11 TV / Film scoring?

Yeah, they are Cliff's project. I've produced several of these scores with him, and Live is always the go to DAW. It's definitely the best means of exchanging sessions and working quickly. We've always managed to work around the scoring limitations of Live, but could certainly make some suggestions...

Re: Live 11 TV / Film scoring?

Thanks @gtripi, I looked these up and see they are all composed by Cliff Martinez. Are you saying that he uses Ableton Live exclusively for scoring to picture? One specific strength that Live has, which I've used many times for scoring, is the ability to retune audio in very small increments. As lon...

Re: Live 11 TV / Film scoring?

Nothing new in this area. We still need to workaround for frame-based editing: for e.g 25 fps you need to set your tempo to 187.5 bpm and the grid to 1/32 There's a few M4L devices that give you a floating window with frame-based timings. I'm using Live for sound and music to picture since L8 I thi...

Re: Live 11 TV / Film scoring?

BUMP anyone?

Are there any free M4L Max devices that would help with Frames/TV sync scoring as add ons?

Live 11 TV / Film scoring?

Are others here using Live 10 or 11 for TV Film or Commercials scoring?Any tips as Ableton is so flexible with audio that I’d ...

Missing Media Files problem? hot swap mode not working?

Ok so I have an older .als file that uses many tracks and samples, using Ableton Live 10.1.30 I have all the samples available on the drives connected so none are actually 'missing'. The .als file loads with some of the samples, and shows a list of missing Media files. I have scanned where these are...

Re: Live 11 ok on High Sierra 10.13.6?

Thank you Yes I may wait for a little while longer, as I am sure my upgrade price will stay the same whatever, I just dont want to jeopardise Live 10 working so well at the moment on this High Sierra machine. I know I will need to upgrade or buy a new M1 Mac eventually but just holding out i guess, ...

Live 11 ok on High Sierra 10.13.6?

Hi, I hope this is the right forum? I have just had my upgrade fee, and wanting to jump into Live 11. I am still on High Sierra 10.13.6 and wondered if anyone else had done the same and it was all working ok? I am very reluctant to upgrade my MacOS and would prefer using this older Mac with High Sie...

Ableton Tune Drum Loops to Song/Track?

What would you recommend for tuning drum loops in Ableton?I use loops more than single hits and have been reading and watching that tuning drums and loops to the key of your song is beneficial for things to glue together? I know there is Ableton Tuner but heard it wasn’t the best for loops, but migh...

Warping Acapellas - Whats your tips?

How does everyone warp Acapellas? I can do most warping in Ableton Live 10 but Acapellas are the bane of my life. Fixed Tempo pop acapellas, I seem to warp but then end up cutting up and slicing and nudging different clips back and forth to get it all in time. So 1 Acapella becomes about 20 clips un...
