Ableton Forum

I'm on xp pro with 3 gb of RAM and the "3GB switch" modification of the boot.ini file to help take advantage of the third gigabite of RAM, so I'm told--seems to help in real-world situations (vs. using the default boot file). However, with some sample-heavy libraries in Kontakt, I'm hittin...

Love the group tracks in 8, and being able to have the color bar visually showing which tracks are grouped, finally! I also dig that the group track has volume automation curves you can work with. However, it seems like the ability to use the range of cut, delete, paste, etc. (all the right-click op...

increasing latency when you're mixing down in the studio is always a good idea. Low latency for tracking (and any real time automation)- medium to higher latency for final mixdowns is fine and preferable for smoother processing. Seriously, why strain your system when your loading on plugins after h...

gonna try tonight with some more methodical testing, will report back and maybe drop a few sound samples of the issue on my website for ppl to hear., thanks.

anyone? Could it be vst weirdness--got a few vsti synths and samplers in there, or maybe it's my drums? I'm using BFD2's killer drum library and vsti inside of Ableton for beats, streaming the BFD2 samples from an external USB drive--could it be tripping up on pulling the samples off the external dr...

Hey, I'm on Live 8 (and every previos version since 2) on an XP pro pc laptop, RME multiface I soundcard. I record a lot of live instruments, and generally am keeping the buffer size at like 128 samples, about 7 ms in/out of Live. I get some occasionally glitching during playback when I have a lot o...

i seem to remeber back when i bought vinyl from a little independant local shop, what they chose to stock was dictated by the girl who worked there, so what was available to me was filtered by her, filtered by the buying power of the store, filtered by the demand for any particular genre filtered b...

wow, color me stupid, that's exactly what I wanted, didn't realize it was a drop down there--THANKS!

For instance, the M-Audio FW410 is legendary for sucking on macs 8O all's fine here, no sucking going on good to hear, I should caveat that this was about 2-3 years ago when I ran across this, but a quick search of the forums can validate my statement....bottom line is that some combos of computer ...

im gonna go out on a limb here and say Lady GaGa.. she has the makings of another Madonna.. what, all style and no substance? sorry, but she is wack, and the production is totally lame and derivative--seriously, the pa-pa-poker face in the original mix of the song is just horrible sounding...but I ...

i haven't read every post, but it seems like a HUGE factor that has been overlooked is your soundcard/interface? What is it? What are your pc specs? For instance, the M-Audio FW410 is legendary for sucking on macs, and surely there are interface+pc combos that don't work properly. All I'm saying is ...

if you're really beginning in this electronic music world, I'd advise you just to go for a "cheap" all-in-one solution at first. ==> m-audio axiom 25 or stuff like that, you'll get a decent keyboard (it's a real need), pads, faders, rotaries... perfect controller to learn further, and in ...

okay, so I gotta admit I'm a bit irked I dropped cash for another upgrade, based largely on the "share live set" feature touted for Live 8 (and FINALLY, after bitching about it here since version 2, there are crossfades in arrangerview, hallelujah!), but apparently the share feature is sti...

cool, thanks! any other mac/ff800 ppl out there?

haven't read through everything, but if you're worried about what you're seeing in a scope, check out songs by artists you like on the scope and see if their's look much different....
