Ableton Forum

I don’t think humanity needs any external help to bring forth the end of the world.

You can tinker recordings to make them sound different or “hide” crappy sound quality in some ways but as a general rule you can’t really “improve” the technical quality of source sound. If I were you I’d embrace the characteristic “Lo-Fi” sound quality of telephone conversations (makes pretty much ...

hey, I've started using ableton just a month ago and so I'd like to limit my music-production-learning budget to the current expenses (ableton live intro + headphones). However, as I progress, I'm meeting ableton live intro's limitations: 12 effects per project, not that many native instruments, la...

The term you're looking for is instant mapping. Ableton has a hidden feature called user remote scripts. It's very simple to set up, I got my controller to automap in no time at all, just make sure you follow the instructions in the two text files. To find the folder, go to 'help' 'get support' and...

Autotune is kind of like doping in some sports (cycling, etc.) It’s obviously controversial, but the vast majority of pros do it. Simply because everybody else does it. Everybody else has perfectly pitched live voice and when it’s done right you can’t tell the difference anyway so it’s an uphill ba...

One of the big advantages of supported MPC style hardware pads (Akai MPD series, Trigger Finger, etc.) is the fact that the 4x4 pad grid displayed on the Live Drum Rack is always linked to the 16 pads of the hardware. My question is this: Is it possible to configure an unsupported drum pad hardware ...

Props on your Suite or Live licence (if you own it) and sell it for a good price.
(I know I’m a vulture).

am I missing something? I didn't think that ableton was able to save all your reason project configurations? It isn't. That's why I think the OP is merely working with Reason presets. I own Reason 5 and use it as Rewire Slave with Live. In my experience Live doesn't save anything in Reason. Not ins...

Hello, Hello! Yes By limited in time I obviously meant limited as in, say, a one month period like the Live demo. Does it matter? Well yeah it kind of matters, otherwise I would just, you know, pirate the shit out of everything and not ask these stupid questions. Yes These are only hypothetical que...

I heard a lot of good things about Reason and recently decided to give it a shot. Amongst Live users it is especially popular as a ReWire slave to make up for the (relative) lack of synthesizers in Live. So, I installed the demo and tried it out as a ReWire slave. Using Thor from Live and recording ...

Hey aqua-tek, I have that same computer stand! I've never seen anyone else use one. They're pretty nifty. :) It's IKEA. I've seen 1 billion other people use it ;-) I'm referring to the stand that is supporting your RME I/O & laptop. Mine is branded ALSOP, & I've never seen one at IKEA, nor ...

the warranty makes the average user think they can't upgrade after market. my neighbor was afraid to upgrade his ram on his MB.. he was running 512 lol.. i was like slap 2 gigs in that dude... its like freakin legos man i even have a box of computer parts that reminds me of digging through a box of...

Straightforward question, I haven’t found anything by searching (didn’t really know what to search for) so. Live is pretty comprehensive but doesn’t do everything. Namely what do you use (preferably free or inexpensive) as a: Sample editor application to roughly slice up audio before importing and ...
