When I DJ, i usually have 15-20% CPU usage consistently. I use a somewhat large rack of effects mainly comprised of ableton plug-ins. The only 3rd party plug-in I have running is guitar rig for additional effects. I turn them on and off with knobs on the APC40, so the majority of my plugins are turn...

Hey, so I'm using a pretty large set comprised of 200 samples (each one representing a full length song) for DJing. Sometimes when I load the set, Live slowly buffers each sample in my entire set, which takes like 20 minutes. Other times, the buffering is instant. Is there a way to keep the songs an...

...on a sample, much akin to the looping function in Traktor? Perhaps, a secret ancient dummy clip technique that allows me to loop a sample that is currently playing at a set length (i.e. 1 bar, 1/2 bar...) without the song proceeding until I stop the looping, preferably at the press of a button. N...

I can hear the samples from my sample bank coming from the KAOSS pad but I can't get the actual sound playing from ableton to go through the KP and back into the main mix... help help help...

Yet, I have hardly any idea how to get the audio running from ableton through the KP and back into the main mix... I'm usi...

hmm... your logic makes sense to me mesmer, thank you. anyone else know off the top of their heads before I have to email ableton support and wait all weekend for a response? by the way... tremendous apologies for the "there/their" catastrophe in the topic title... I'm guessing half of the...

Simple question, in and out... Is the educational version of Live any different? Is there even such a thing as the educational version of Live, or is it just Ableton Live 7 with an educational discount? I'm a full time student looking to upgrade from LE 7 and I'm having trouble finding any explicit ...
