Lately I have found that it's harder to compose music while using Ableton Live.
The main issue is that I am not able to dial a proper BPM so when inspiration hits I loose the moment in technical issues and if I record anyway all clips are not aligned with tempo afterwards. (I know we have warp but I sometimes play odd tempo and odd divisions). I have tried with Looper controlled by a MIDI Pedal Device, it works sometimes.
I was thinking : Is the Tempo Follower capable of 'listening' to rhythm Guitar and set Ableton tempo?
Thanks

Re: Tempo Follower Question
Do your tests
Depending on what your playing it can work from great to not good with guitars.
Here's a little trick, as you're probably able (or you might even be doing it unconsciously for ever) to tap the tempo with your feet while playing the guitar: put a mic/contact mic on the floor and set it as your Follower source.

Re: Tempo Follower Question
Tested and it works at some point. Surely an improvement. However it cannot detect the tempo signature, only BPM. I have to find out a better way for odd signatures. In any case : THANKS!

Re: Tempo Follower Question
I know, I know... in my delusional thinking... I really hoped differently. However do not take it as criticism, I am a loyal Ableton user since Version 4.
Everyday we read about AI and all the 'goodies' it will bring but it will have an hard time decoding what I play... because I have an hard time as well.
There's no peace for Guitar Players
Thanks for support!
Have a nice day!
