Ableton Forum

Cheers! At exactly the same time, someone else sent me an arduino link via facebook, so must be the way forward...

Hey up As well as Abletonising, I do a bit of fire staff spinning. I was looking at: http://www.globall.com/?articleID=16512&heading=Online%20Shop - which is a 1.4m "glostaff" that's programmable via USB. It made me wonder: does any kind of tiny receiver exist that could read MIDI or O...

Dom, that was amazingly useful, thanks. And thanks also for the prodigy stuff - having to SSDs coz of the monitors, yikes.

Oops.

Hey up, Just watched the ableton interview with Depeche Mode soundman - http://www.ableton.com/pages/artists/depeche_mode Question: Ableton's reliability for live performance crops up a lot on this forum, and people make the point that it needs to be 100% for live work. For Depeche Mode (thus far) i...

Gosh, isn't bounce a grumpy little so-and-so? Anyhoo, more thoughts from someone who doesn't go to enough gigs to satisfy bounce, but still has opinions: I've played live all of three times in my life, and somehow the last time I forgot to allow myself many options for actual live playing in live. I...

Hi all I must be being really stupid, but I can't see any way of mapping an external midi control onto any clip or track MIDI controls in ableton. They can all be automated, via envelopes, for any MIDI clip (i.e. choose MIDI ctrl, then you have the full list of 120 controllers...) but - !! - no way ...

Damn, more good ideas there. Just thought i'd say so, in a blatant attempt to keep the topic up the list...! Er, do Ableton folk actually get round to reading these? Is it someone's job to check em? Yikes...

Hey up, If you 'remove stop button', or a series of stop buttons, from a clip on a particular scene, it means you can be playing an arrangement - and start a scene with the arrangement carrying on in the tracks without a stop button. That's ace. It allows smoooth transitions. What would be most love...

Allo I was wondering how you folk generally come across new music? From magazines / radio / friends? What sort of thing are you into, and how do you keep up with what's new? How do you find out what's old and good? I tend to be pretty passive: just sorta hang around other more musically knowledgeabl...

This is about to come out: http://www.navisis.com/ENGLISH/03_pro/pro03.php?tmenu=03 A USB device that can turn a laptop screen into a touch-screen with a pen. Could be an interesting way of controlling live... apparently it'll be about $130; probably £100 or more in the UK, despite there being two d...

I still want to know where that 57 number came from!

57? What? Where'd that come from? And how many males so's we can work out a ratio?

Hey up, I was wondering how many ableton folk on this forum are male and how many are female? Could you answer in the poll... We all know this computer music thing is biased toward males, but I'm curious just how biased. Anyone got any theories on why this might be? My two current ones: 1. Its been ...
