need help with my ableton live 8 URGENT!!

[antarktika]

can you hear the audio if you put an audio file (wav, aiff, or mp3) on an audio track and hit play? can you see your levels on the mixer bouncing up and down? Please answer me, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!

[oreofe]

i dont know how to put an audio file in but the mixer does move up and down, it recognises the keyboard but im just not hearing the sound from it

[lethal_pizzle]

Which of Live's instruments have you got loaded into the channel you are using?

[H20nly]

i set the control surface as none,input and output as USB keystation 88es. I also turned the 'sync' and 'remote' on. the audio device is set to ASIO, i dont understand what more there is to do??

did you arm the track?

this has been asked but you didn't answer (i don't think).

if you see the green lights bouncing up and down on a track when you bang on the keyboard then the signal is coming in, but you have to enable the track... its the button to the right of the track (in arrange view). will be red when it's armed.


session view


arrange view (look at track "17 Analog" in the pic)

P.S. press TAB to switch from Arrange to Session view and back again.

This is the sort of thing that the manual is for. Please take a look at it. It's quite good you know.

input and output as USB keystation 88es. I also turned the 'sync' and 'remote' on.

To play an instrument, set input 'track' on. also arm the track, or monitor to 'in'.and of course put an instrument in it. and if this instrument is a simpler, put a soundfile in it....
And please please please read the manual.

Guys,

good afternoon...

DO we (and I put myself as well in as a contributor to teh forum) really need to answer these type of questions on teh forum to someone who have not even bothered to look at teh manual and infinite resources on line on the subject?

Are you serious?? 3 pages of posts??


In my view:
oreofe before even start asking a question, please have a look at the manual and do not post this basic stuff.

Bye

[H20nly]

yeah what were we thinking being all nice and shit? did Venus crossing in front of the sun fuck with our heads?

[H20nly]

[H20nly]

Well we were trying to help and see what the problem was, but you know... if the guy doesn't even know how to bring an audio file into Live, then yes, he should RTFM because he won't even know how to accomplish what we are suggesting.

[H20nly]

true...

but chastising people for helping this guy is like jumping all over someone's case for giving change to a bum. "he'll never get a job if you keep giving him pocket change!"

so a few of us took a minute or two out of our day to reply... i guess that makes us enablers.

so did you get it working poster?
