Greetings,
I wanted to try out Ableton live and got the download, which, if I understand correctly should play and record without limitations, but cannot save.
I have tried the above configuration with said download. When I set Live to use ASIO (The dmx has its own ASIO driver) I have the problem that Live does not register any input from my microphone. The terratec soundcard has a breakout box with its own Mic input. The control panel of the Soundcard registers the input just fine, but the signal does not reach the Ableton Live App. I have turned on all in and outputs in the sound hardware configuration. I have also tried ASIO4All, but nothing.
When I switch to DirectX, I am able to record input, but the latency makes this a rather disgusting option.
Am I missing something, what else could be bugged?
In the vain hope of somebody knowing what could be done...
Live 5.2, ASIO, Terratec DMX 6Fire: No input from microphone
Hi there,
just yesterday I figured out it was more or less sillyness on my side (then again, I am a couple of days further into understanding ableton live)...
I found that the mic input was coming through different ext.in channels than I would have thought...in my case channels 5/6 work for the microphone. On another note, in the control panel of my terratec card the mic must not be muted in order to arrive at "Live".
I found that you can change that setting in the Session view in a dropdown just below the dropdown box where it says Ext.in (above the volume slider of a track somewhere...). There you can select the channel and with some luck you are in the same situation as I was.
Let me know, cheers
