Like, if I'm playing around in Session view, I hit record (not the Session Recording button), and the Session time gets recorded onto new take lanes in Arrangement view.

I see where Session view added a new scene of my playing around to one of the tracks, but it's not the entire recording.

Hello, i made a sound effect for my game but i used a phaser or auto pan i didn't remember well and now the sound gives me headach when i heard it looping. i tried putting it in mono but the sound still hurt my head. Do you guys have some ideas to make my sound not hurting heads pls ?

Ive tried looking up YouTube tutorials a couple times and have still been confused. Even the terms used im not familiar with and i need an explination on. I could be lazy and goofle it but id rather see its drfinition and its applications and uses in front of me for myself to learn better. Someone told me to look up Music theory. I really need someone to show me but Noone I know nearby uses Ableton. If anyone could givem e resources or to help me get started and possibly after that I'd appreciate you, much love

-I'd like to make Music with styles like Liquid Stranger Luzcind LSDream, Tipper, and Subtronics. As well as in the general genres of Dubstep,Trap, Brostep, Riddick, etc.

I'm assuming most people know what I mean by "melodyne" as a verb but I'm actually specifically talking about waves tune plugin. It's on sale for 40$ right now and I just wanna make sure that ableton suite isn't already capable of this.

Similarly but in the world of EQ, is there a way to view the waveforms of other channels while working in only one channel (competing/clashing frequencies type deal)? I'm assuming eq8 can't and that eq8 is the best ableton (sans max4live) can do.

bonus question: does anyone know the usual sale price of pro q 3 on black friday?

thanks in advance to all the above.

Working on a sample pack currently and when dragging in audio files the tempo changes despite the sample not having a tempo, analysis file or even a discernable rhythm for that matter.

I've never seen this happen before and was just wonderign if there's a setting I can disable for this.

Hey could i have someones licence im trying to get into the music industry but cannot get a ableton licence i would appreciate it if someone could give me their license to try it out thank you🙏.

Dear Ableton users,

I want to ask you one specific problem that I want to know how mix masters do it in the industry. So let's say I have kick and melody. Melody is side-chained to kick. Everything goes smooth.

Problem occurs:

- when side chain is off for some part of the track.

- the melody suddenly becomes much more higher volume, which is driving me crazy.

What is the industry solution for this?

Thanks a lot :)

Hey everyone,

I wondered if anyone has 8 melodic stems + 8 drum loop template for ableton.

Share so :)

Hey Ableton experts! I have a problem. I have a big Ableton setup with 1x midi keyboard, 1x MPD akai, 2x Kaosspads working as midi controllers, a Focusrite 18i20 and an SPD sx connected also as midi controller. It’s all brilliant. However i recently got a “new” computer a maxed out 2015 13” macbook pro that i only use for live. It seemed to be working great. However when i played my last show another act did soundcheck after me, and when i came back to the computer Ableton was crashed, which did make me super anxious during the whole show. Luckily it didn’t crash during show. But then again when we packed down it crashed again MAYBE in relation to someone pulling the plug on one of the midi controllers, not sure. Made me think if the guys who did soundcheck after me also accidently moved some things and disconnected a midi controller by mistake. Problem is i can’t seem to re-create the problem, here at home. Anyone has any idea what it can be? or any idea of how i can prevent it from happening ever again. I ran the live show on two different computers before this one and never had this problem. I’m running Monterey and a legal copy of Ableton 10 Standard.

Hola, quiero vender un midi porque no supe usarlo y no tuve tiempo de aprender a usarlo pero use la licencia del producto en Ableton live y no se si al venderlo la otra persona podrá usar esa misma licencia para poder usarlo o como funciona el tema, si alguien puede ayudarme a entender un poco el tema para si quedarme mas tranquilo al venderlo seria de mucha ayuda, muchas gracias!

Hey everyone,

I’m shifting to home recording after working in a professional studio, so I’ve got some experience seeing what can be done in a high-end setup. I’m looking for advice as I start mixing my own vocals at home. Here’s my current setup:

• Laptop: Dell Inspiron with AMD 5000 series and AMD Radeon graphics
• Mic: Shure SM7DB
• Headphones: Shure studio headphones (came in a bundle)
• Audio Interface: Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen
• DAW: Ableton 12 (Scarlett drivers installed)

My main goal is to get comfortable with mixing my own vocals on pre-made beats, and eventually start creating music myself. Right now, I'm having issues with latency when doubling vocal tracks – I’ve reduced the buffer size and closed any extra programs, but the playback still isn’t as smooth as I’d like. Any advice on settings, plugins, or video tutorials that could help me out? Thanks in advance!

The term mix tapes probably dates me but I was a vinyl DJ on 1200s since the late 80s (well, 1st turntable was a belt driven Technics b4 I could afford the 1200s) and mostly stopped gigging professionally in early 2000s. I'm familiar with Serato having picked up DJing again for weddings for a few years in the late 2000s before having kids shut down DJing in its entirety for me. Fast forward to now, I've got a bit more free time on my hands and wanting to make mixes again (not professionally, just for enjoyment, particularly on my training runs), I have a Rane One on order but I also have access to university discounted Ableton and would like to play around with production mixes. I have rudimentary understanding of DAWs and used to use a free windows program audio editing program back in the 90s to make my first production mix. It was tedious and painful, but fulfilling.

I know modern day DJs do similar production mixes in Ableton, I have the option of Ableton Intro, Standard and Suite, all at various discounted price points. Can I just do a simple production mix (15-20 tracks, arranged and beatmatched transitioned, EQ'd, etc.) in any one of those? I'd like to just pick up the Intro as its priced at $49 vs nearly $400 for the suite. Other than making simple production mixes, I might think about making simple DJ edit or DJ friendly intros/outros to songs for use when I'm mixing live with Serato but main use is for making mixes. Thanks so much in advance!

i make a sample , i export it , i load the wav file into a new ableton file, and when i bring the metronome higher or lower it does nothing,

the sample was made using one shots and stock effects like delay.

could it be my sample is too saucy to be told what to do?

My computer;

• Macbook Pro (2021) M1 Max
• 64GB memory
• 2TB Storage
• Total Number of Cores: 10 (8 performance and 2 efficiency)
• GPU - 32 cores
• OS Sonoma 14.6.1

Ableton Live 12.1

Settings;

Issues;

• Constant lag, pops, audio cutouts, latency, hang's, etc
• I have changed the buffer size multiple times. I understand some of the fixes have been;
• Lower buffer size to force performance cores to stay active - this did not fix my issue
• Update Live and all Plugins - this did not fix my issue
• Use only AUv2 - this did not fix my issue
• Change power mode on Macbook - this did not fix my issues
• Ableton Support - stated it was plugins. (I'm sure some of it has to do with plugins, however they all worked great in Live 10. The change occurred when updating Live.)
• Other various fixes - did not fix my issues

My Questions for you studs;

1. Do we have any updated ideas or fixes for this?

2. I have read many people with my same computer to the spec that have tested with over 100 channels filled with third party plugins that have absolutely no problem.

3. Is there a way to see if performance or efficiency cores are funning?

4. Any ideas or newer information?

I really think it would be silly to upgrade my computer again. It should be ridiculously over-powered for Ableton.

Thanks for any and all responses. Appreciate you.

Hey everyone, I am researching how to add live elements into my DJ sets for live performances. I currently have a Traktor S4 MK3, which has aux inputs for each mixer channel. My plan is to do the main mixing on the two decks of the S4, but I’d love to add live elements like brutal kicks, samples, and other dynamic sounds to really push the hardcore industrial techno brutality. (example : https://on.soundcloud.com/xWNvG) So I have a few questions:

Has anyone here built a similar hybrid setup for live performances?

I’ve looked into Elektron gear and Maschine too, but so far nothing seems as versatile as an Ableton Live + controller setup. Does anyone have experience with this combo for live performances ?

I’ve searched a lot on YouTube but found it hard to find content for this specific setup. Any tips, gear recommendations, or resources would be appreciated!
