Hey guys,

instead of recording my MIDI piano Ableton recordes my tipping through laptop mic.

Wtf is happening.

Which preferences do I need to have again in order for the midi piano to work ?



xxxxx thanks a LOT!

It sounds like you have your audio track enabled for recording rather than your MIDI track (assuming you have your keyboard MIDI actually connected to your DAW).

Linking to this page is not very useful as it provides no answer to the question. It's not the first time your doing this. If you tried to make a point that OP didn't give enough information, then I suggest you visit that page yourself, and read the part about users not providing enough information. You know, the part that also says "It doesn't help anyone to repeatedly reply to these threads saying "you didn't give any info so I'm not going to help you! :roll: ".

1. Select the recommended ASIO driver for your soundcard in Ableton Live.
2. Turn on your monitors/headphones connected to your soundcard.
3. Record arm only the midi track of your midi piano in Ableton Live.
4. Play via midi/computer keyboard and listen. You should see the master level in Ableton Live.
