Re: How to use StudioOne SoundSet in Ableton Live 9?

I have SoundSets from Studio One 2 which I would like to use in Ableton Live 9. Per https://www.reddit.com/r/abletonlive/comments/2k27sk/can_i_use_other_daws_soundsets/ I should be able to do this. I added the SoundSets folder to the Ableton Live "Places", but the folder is empty (when vi...

Re: Nexus or Kontakt

Why are you comparing a Synth ROMpler mostly used for dance music to a Sampler mostly used for, you guessed it, Sample based instruments... ?

Apples Vs Oranges and all that.

Other response: since you have to ask this question in the first place, just go buy Nexus.

Methods for sync'd video with Live, live - discuss!

Hello, Subject says it all. If you are doing any kind of live performance with Ableton and it includes sync'd live video, I want to hear about how you are doing this! In great detail! Points of interest: 1. Are you playing back the video from the same system that is running your live set? 2. If so, ...

An album of Doom Jazz made entirely with Ableton Live

I've released my first official solo album, titled GUILT NOIR by Michael Arthur Holloway. Some of you may know me for my work as DEAD WHEN I FOUND HER, my electro-industrial project, signed to ArtOfFact Records / Storming The Base. Well, my first solo album is something else entirely -- 10 tracks of...

Re: Drum Tools 02 vs 01

I just downloaded the Freebie version of Drum Tools 02 a couple days ago, and was really impressed with the quality of the samples. The kicks in particular were very nice -- nothing shocking or new, just very well constructed and executed dance kicks, balanced just right, e.g. not too boomy or overc...

Re: consolidate gain change

It's not dropping the actual level down, it's just setting the gain meter relatively to show the space between the audio's current level and normalized / clipping levels. Test for yourself -- just consolidate and hit playback, you'll notice no change in playback volume; if you did, obviously that wo...

Re: triggering with odd time signatures.

There is no bug or software issue here, you just need to make sure your looping commands are set correctly (the numbers to either side of the yellow loop/cycle button on the top right part of the screen). When you change to 6/4 from 4/4 for example, it still thinks you want to loop at 1 bar of 4/4, ...

Re: How to give more life to my stabs

Rather than buying more FX, I'd recommend simply working on learning how to create more dynamics in your mix using the tools that Ableton already offers. People resort to spending $$ on fancy toys before ever really understanding the magnificent FX devices already inside Live. They are fantastic! In...

Re: Can I export/render individual pads of a drum rack to files?

Or at least a fast way to separate each pad to different tracks, so if I had a triggered note for each sound on the first beat of the bar I could render every track separately. I believe if you expand the channel for the Drum Rack, thereby making visible the individual mix channels for each pad in ...

Re: Getting a full synth sound in Ableton Live 9 Suite

I'm shocked, shocked to learn that somebody who is brand new to music production and synthesis "can't get the synth sound [they] want." Way to be totally useless! You have no sense of entitled arrogance at all. I am absolutely astounded at your level of humility, seriously, how do you man...

Re: Getting a full synth sound in Ableton Live 9 Suite

For later, use higher playback rates at 88200 or 96000 for great third party synthesizers. And don't listen to this nonsense, either. This guy is brand new to synthesis, Strom. Telling him to try high playback rates of 88200 etc is fucking absurd. That is literally the last thing he needs to worry ...
