I'm guessing (don't have an mx200) have you checked that live doesn't have it's midi ports open? Thanks for the suggestion, but how do I do that? Going into Live's preferences panel, I've got it set up with four MIDI control surfaces - my Frontier AlphaTrack, Edirol PCR-500, M-Audio Axiom 25 and Tr...

I'm trying to use a Lexicon MX200 multi-effects processor as a hardware plugin for Live 7. My audio interface is MOTU's new Ultralite-mk3. I've installed Lexicon's MX-Edit software and connected the unit to my PC via USB and to the audio interface via its S/PDIF ports. Operating the MX200 as a stand...

If I want to remove all the Live Sets I've created from my hard drive, what do I need to do? I know where the folder is that contains the Live Sets, but it seems to be far too small to hold all the associated data - audio recordings, samples, etc - so I assume that must be stored elsewhere. Basicall...

From the Live manual: "The stereo presets are production-ready kits, carefully processed to reflect modern production techniques while keeping CPU and memory usage to a minimum. These kits come in both Full (24-bit) and LE (16-bit) versions." Thanks for clarifying that. Not sure why they ...

I've just taken delivery of the Session Drums set for Ableton Live 7 and I'm installing the Live Packs from the first DVD. I notice that there's a folder "Stereo Packages" and have installed all of its contents, but there's also a folder called "LE Stereo Packages". What's the se...

its a pitty ..ive got the same problem with the newest update of leopard... in standalone the kontakt player is great, but when used as vstinstrument in newest update of live..it crashes after reloading other samples.... Since posting my original query, I've worked out that this issue generally ari...

when you hit a pad on the drum racks, do any of the pds light up? No lights on the pads, no. I didn't actually realise they were illuminated, so I guess that'll be nice when I eventually get them to work. Is there any chance that someone could post a screenshot of the settings they're using in AL7'...

I got my new Akai MPD32 today but I'm having some trouble getting the pads to trigger anything in Live 7.0.7. Whereas my M-Audio Axiom 25's pads automatically trigger the eight drums in Live 7 kits or the eight most important drums in the kit of any VSTi (such as kits in Kontakt 3), nothing happens ...

I'm using, or trying to use, Ableton Live 7 with Native Instruments Kontakt 3 as a VSTi, but have repeatedly experienced system freezes that cause both applications to crash. This happens most frequently when I'm switching between samples in Kontakt 3. Typically, Kontakt will freeze up - i.e. its VS...

Updating on my previous post, it does indeed appear that my boxed edition of Live 7 contains the wrong second disk. I've been given a registration number for Live 7 and for the Essential Instrument Collection, but the disk I've been sent is for Session Drums, which I don't have a licence for. Is thi...

I've just bought Live 7, having previously had the M-Audio Enhanced Lite version installed. Because I'm a student, I bought the education version, which is supposed to be the full thing, rather than just an upgrade. It's cheaper that way. Anyway, I understood from the Ableton website that boxed edit...

top left of the window is a headphones icon, that might be off. also, the playback of that stuff is controlled by the CUE knob at the far right towards the bottom, make sure it's going out a valid output and is turned up. Aha! So that's it. Thanks for the tip. Those icons are rather small, aren't t...

This is probably one of those situations where the solution is staring me in the face, but perhaps someone could help me out with it anyway. After I first installed the Live 7 trial version, one of the things I really liked about it (and which made me order the full version, which I'm expecting with...

The method you described above is the one that works best for most people - and it has the advantage of keeping your ableton plug-in folder 'clean' and neat with just the plug-ins you want to see. No real need for Ableton to change it IMO . Well, apart from that little hiccup, I've been very impres...

To update on the above calamity, I think I've got the problem solved now. After I created the shortcuts to other plugin folders, though perhaps not directly because of that, Live 7 failed to launch properly, repeatedly running through the same plugins during the launch process and declaring that som...
