I recently bought the Ableton Live * program along with the Novation Launch Pad and also have a Axion 49 keyboard. Im trying to create beats using the stuff but can't get any sound through the program. If you have any tips or info to use this please help me out. thanks

If you don't want to read the manual this might be a good start for using Live in general: http://www.ableton.com/movies?type=tutorials
or in particular for the launchpad: http://www.novationmusic.com/products/m ... __english/

There's also tutorials built into the help window of the program itself for setting up audio preferences, midi devices, and recording.

i think there is a problem with your new hardware
