Ableton Forum

finally found the time today to try out my FA-66 iv just bought. linked it to my laptop via firewire, then had the Alesis M1's from outputs 1 and 2. but when nothing is playing there is a lot of background noise from the laptop. is there anyway i can stop this?

thinking of just selling all my stuff coz its just proving to be too much hassle. the trigger finger still doesnt work coz i have media centre windows and now all this. think i might just go back to Djing with CD;s its easier.

The Trigger Finger, edirol fa-66 soundcard and M1's are all brand new out the box and have never even played a live set.

if anybody wants to buy any of them let me know coz if i cant sort this problem they are all going on ebay

hey- just a thought- is your laptop plugged in to its power supply? With my current laptop (Dell), i CANNOT use ableton with the laptop plugged in to the wall, it causes all manner of fucked up sounds.

ye it is actually. my laptop is fucked and can only run with the supply in. even if it wasnt i wudnt like to do a live set relying on battery power!
