Beginner trouble

[gpeeni]

Hi - I'm very new and trying to add a simple audio file to a sample.

I here it through my headphones before I drag/drop it onto the sample, but when I bring it over I get no volume and there is no wave image. This happens for audio effects and instrument sounds. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,

G

create a midi-channel

add a simpler to the channel
add the sample to the simpler by drag & drop
and press a key on your keyboard

or

create an audio-channel
drag & drop the sample to audio-slot
and start the scene

like this guy - he have only 2 audiostrack

I tried dropping an audio effect into a sample, but it won't even preview now and when I go to drag/drop it it doesn't appear in the sample.

I'm using the 30 day trial version until I buy it. Maybe this is a glitch?

Also check your monitor settings, and drag it in the correct slot.

Monitor should be in your case in auto mode in the session view (where you have all these slots!).

Very usefull: https://cdn-resources.ableton.com/resou ... ual_en.pdf - the Manual of Live 10 - a very good read to start with......

do not drop effects on your samples!

create a midichannel
put a simpler on it
drag the sample into the simpler
out the FX behind the simpler
play a tone

A "sample" is normally what we call a short audio file. So the above sentence doesn't technically make sense. Therefore, just to be sure, when you say "sample" each time, what do you mean exactly?

- a short audio file (aka sample)?
- an Ableton Live audio clip?
- an Ableton Live Sampler Instrument?
- an Ableton Live Simpler instrument?

Also, which folder exactly in the Live Browser are you dragging this "audio file" from?

"I tried dropping an audio effect into a sample"

- sounds like dropping a Van into a tiny trashcan
- or the sun into my spaceship
- or suncream into creamcake

you cannot put FX into a Sample

the signalflow is the other way around and the FX
is coming after the audio.

Thanks for all the feedback I was able to work it out.
