Ableton Forum

Hello All,

this is my first time on the forum so just wanted to say hello. I am newbie when it comes to Ableton and MIDI. Well I tried to figure it out for the longest part tonight, and I just can't seem to figure it out. My Ableton crashes anytime I try to load a MIDI track or anything. If it doesn't crash I get something saying:

"This device is not available in this version of Live.
The product Operator is required to go beyond this limitation.
See the User Account/ Licenses preferences to go authorize or try out a product"

After that pops up I get no sound anymore. This is what I am running.

HP DV6 series
Windows 7 (64 bit)
2.53 Ghz i5 processor
6 GB DDR3 Ram
640 GB Hard Drive
1 GB ATI Radeon Video card

If anyone has the same setup or anything similar that had the same issue, if you can help me I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Breaka Breaka

when i was running live 8 i used to get the same message when i would try to load up pre set drum sounds on the pads of the drum rack....live 8 comes with some preset instruments you can't use.....you should still be able to open up a midi track there though...and use certain preset instruments
..try "shift control T"......see if you can at least open a midi track there....then if it opens....try different presets than what you have been trying.....for me to build my own drum sets....i realized i had to drop a simpler on each drum pad.....then choose from the "sample wave form" library....give it a shot.....past that i don't know.....i hope this helps...if not maybe try to talk to ableton support....they are pretty quick getting back to you...

It seems as though every single one I open it says that. Then once I open that happens I can't use my MPK25 anymore. Then my Albeton freezes.

yeah dude you should email ableton tech support....they are really helpful...but be real specific about what is happening....its strange you can't open a midi track at all....sorry i couldn't be more help.

Ya i've sent a bunch of crash reports to them, and also hopefully trying to get some troubleshooting from them. Not sure what is going on.
