If you right click on the top bar of the Simpler device there is an option to convert Simpler to Sampler. As far as chains go, it's kind of hard for me to explain, but basically each pad in the drum rack can have as many chains as you want. Each one of those chains can have samplers, synths, other d...

can each "pad" on the drum rack have its own effects on just that one sound? when in session view and you click the arrow to expand it to the right to show all the hits and volume faders, can you drag effects into those, i would try it but im not home right now. Yeah, you can add effects ...

This is a pretty good watch if you're interested in monitor placement and room treatment.

In that screenshot you have that clip set to loop after 3 1/2 bars. Is that what you want? Also, you might want to take a look at the oscillator envelopes in Operator to see if any of them are set to loop. Other than that I can't really think of anything else.

What synth are you using?

I'm not sure what's going on, but for a quick work around you could just set the input of an audio track to resampling and record yourself playing it in realtime. I did that too. I used the global recording or whatever and when I hit any key it sounds the exact same as if I were to draw it in..... ...

I'm not sure what's going on, but for a quick work around you could just set the input of an audio track to resampling and record yourself playing it in realtime.

the default settings on the simplers can get in the way though. there is a way of changing those but it's a bit involved, involves editing some config files i think. You can change the settings in any of the Ableton devices and then right click on the top title bar part of the device and choose &qu...

Honestly, if you're just starting out I wouldn't even bother with resampling at this point. I would just stick to Massive and maybe a couple other synths and just focus on learning how to use them. You can make plenty of badass sounds without resampling. When you get to the point where you are able ...

Im still playing with the demo now it feels like its just a case of finding out where everything is and figuring out all the shortcuts but i really dislike the piano roll in Ableton :u: As a Live user who used FL for years I can say that the piano roll is pretty much the only thing I missed after s...

Ok thank you for all the info guys. Very helpful, but I still have not been able to find my original note in the sampler. I compared the original note with the one in the sampler after transposing it endless, and nothing matched. I feel as though this shouldn't be so complicated... I'm pretty sure ...

Oh yeah, no doubt it's standard practice to put some final eq on the master. I just thought it was weird how he was doing things like adding a pretty big boost to add presence to the snare when he obviously has access to the project and could just do it in the mix.

again, another waste of time from computer music: 5 mins of talking about hitting things off trees. getting a genuine 128kbps sound rather than a fake digital(wtf??) 128kbps. saturation on every single thing. then more saturation on the master. some ambient crackle shitty noises skip how the bass w...

if no help-this is copy from abelton forum: Hey there - I had the same problem (using WaveLab w/Live v8) until I discovered that you can turn off Live's audio subsystem temporarily without having to close the app - simply click on the CPU load meter (top right corner) to release the ASIO driver the...

It most likely has to do with your sound card/drivers. What are you using for an audio interface? There is often a setting to allow multiple programs to access the sound card instead of just one at a time. A lot of onboard sound cards don't seem to allow this though. I have the same problem on my la...

Big ups, thanks for your feedback. Question people - since FL Studio runs off of VSTs, and since I own Sytrus (one of the popular FL Studio synths for electro/house), will I be able to use this within Ableton? If I have it, is it still recommended I get Operator? EDIT: Also, I keep hearing about Ma...

As much as I hate to pay big bucks for Photoshop because it's just a hobby where audio is a trade I can't bring myself to do the crax. I just use the little Elements version... Heh, I made good use of my student discount when I purchased the Design Premium Suite (as well as a lot of music software)...

i think 95% of people who have voted aren't being totally honest. just look at the result. I'm genuinely surprised.! I can honestly say that I have never pirated any software ever. Having some idea of how much work goes into developing software, I could never in good conscience steal someone's hard...

I've never used Massive, but I'm guessing there is a setting in it somewhere for velocity sensitivity.

Haha, I guess it just depends on how much variation you want to have in your velocity levels. He'll definitely hear the effect at 100!
