Re: The bring out QuadCore MacBook Pros on Wed the 27th Thread!

who cares about a macbook pro quadcore? like always, they're late at delivering the same i can use since long long time, or short time. depending on if you think about quadcores in general, or i5/i7 based systems. Proper decent mobile versions of the i5/i7 have only been about a few months, and I d...

Re: Setting up an external hard drive with Live 8?

I depends, as the Macbook Pro might have a 7200rpm drive depending what options you had. Also it depends how many tracks you want to run. 7200rpm drive are better than 5400rpm, but a 5400rpm is still usable depending on the size of your project and number of samples required. What size and type of p...

Random un-traceable audio dropouts

Hello! I've been using A.L. for a while on my mac and it's been fine. Live onstage I was loading songs between every song and it spoilt the flow of the set, so put our set in one big track (8 songs/132 tracks/35mins). I noticed when practicing at home and at the practice room though that the PC woul...

Controller's CC's and MIDI channels for surfaces

I've been trying to deduce the control CC's and channels for my controller as I don't just want the standard 3 dumped Axiom sets. Can anyone tell me the global settings for these or where to find them? I've currently worked out CC's 101-109 on MIDI channel 1 are volumes of the first 8 tracks, then C...

Re: L8 IS ROCKING !

:o L8 looks to rock the DAW world !!! Can't wait any longer !!!! I'm afraid that L8 may be logic 8 in my case, as I'm getting more frustrated every time I regularly have to re-assemble all my girlfriends and friends Sonar and Cubase songs in ableton, when if it supported OMFs I'd be laughing. :/ If...

Live Library, Samples and Laptop HDDs

Hello, I've been using Live 5, 6 & 7 (suite) for a good while now with a desktop, and have always expanded my internal storage so I never worry. However, I'm about to get a macbook pro which only comes with a 320GB drive (I'll get the 7200rpm version). I want to pretty much replace the desktop w...

Sending MIDI patch change commands?

Hello! I've just started using Live live in a band with a live drummer, singer, bass player, and me mostly on guitar, after using it at home for a long while. Now I'm playing live with a laptop and ableton doing backings and synth parts I thought I'd be a cool and easy idea to get Ableton to patch c...

How to make Synth Sounds...

It's a bit of a random question this, but how do you make original synth sounds? I'm really a guitarist bassist drummer singer trombonist, and have always ended up using pretty "safe" analog sounds out of my novation SBS, or using a standard sampled paino/keys/organ sound. Now I got the &q...

I discovered yesterday that all of my midi interfaces in preferences have little arrows to expand the settings (oddly enough, just like the little arrows in the browser. Doh! Pillock!). If I then set my newly found MIDI input type option to MME, my terrible drumming on my cheap midi drum kit isn't q...

I reinstalled 7.0.1 and now it works fine. There's some samples for the metro gnome in Program Files\Ableton\Live 7.0.1\Resources\Misc\Metronome. I guess maybe I uninstalled these for live 7 when uninstalling Live 6.1 or something?

+1 for missing samples that aren't missing. After installing 7.0.1, I uninstalled 5, and 6.0.1. I left 6.0.10 on it though.

I've got this too. :( I don't think I'm doing anything silly. I never had problems before with Live 6. I assume the click should always come out whatever the "Cue Out" output is set to. I keep getting a missing samples thing in my project too, but it doesn't seem to have anything missing. :?
