Re: That Classic High Pitch Synth Sound?!?!?!

Isn't that referred to as the 'wild pitch' sound ? it's just an analogue synth string single note two oscillators isn't it ?

Re: how to make launchpad act like 'Push's Scale Mode'

Find the launchpad96 script. There is a thread on here for it. It is the greatest thing in all the lands. If you have a Launchpad, this is an absolute essential imho. It transforms the Launchpad into something amazing. Utterly Brilliant. If you want to switch back to 'normal' (out of the box) Launc...

Re: Opening old project gives serious program error

So, I'm able to open the clip view side from the first 4 tracks. Structure is not there at all. The error could be caused by a problematic plugin on channel 5. I think there should be a tool for editing .als files in a case like this. Removing one plugin could help in opening the rest of the projec...

Re: Opening old project gives serious program error

fwiw I've been getting numerous crashes myself running a mac and either 9.0.6 64 bit or 32 bit. For some reason old ableton projects increasingly crash ableton (in my experience) Sorry I can't be of more constructive help.

Re: After 10 years with ableton I just tried Studio One...

Re: Problem with Export to Audio

when you click on render. the top selection box is called 'rendered track'
Have you set this to "All Tracks" or "Master" ? I suspect it may be set to your instrumental track.

Re: What hardware should I get?
