Ableton Forum

The weird thing about macs is its like they have a mind of their own. Sometimes they want to cooperate and when they do you wouldn't trade it for a PC in a million years but then other times they make you crazy because while they don't crash or glitch like PCs they have weird anthropomorphic issues ...

I just lay out every track I currently have in my "record bin" in a vertical cloumn and then copy and paste that into 4 more columns then I toggle up and down the column with a dedicated knob and use a dedicated switch to then select wether that track is set to play in the A or B slot. Mos...

Yes the multimix firewire, and there is a forum here called Bugs & Problems that i was referring to. Cbass - I had the same problems and apparently so have many others that contacted Ableton when Alesis told them it was Abletons fault. The point I guess I am trying to make is that while some peo...

If you never heard of any problems maybe you should check out the thread about how much they suck on the bugs page.

I don't really use this featue myself but i gather it is for taking a track with varying tempos and "fixing" it so that the tempo is continous or changes according to how you specify. That being said their is an option to change the pitch in the same dialogue that I believe can be used ind...

midi map tap and your pproblems are solved

My idea was that you could have multiple looped sections per clip and then toggling the loop button (loop on/off) would catch the loop and then release it to the next one. However an autoloop feature would be much slicker. Thanks for mentioning the beat repeat concept though I'll probably be up all ...

Yours is great others have issues and im not an idiot I know how to set up my gear. My theory is that the cheap labor costs that they pay to keep the price of these down means that roughly something like 25 - 50% are defective (although I think they're getting better). If you get one that is faulty ...

I should have read all the replies before replying myself. The fact that the tecj guys said that you can't use a 6 to 4 pin proves that they are just trying to cover their asses because all you need those two extra pins for are power and they have nothing to do with data transmission. Basically they...

Sorry guys but i tried over and over again to make the multimix work but i have no answers either. Basically its the mutimix and the crappy drivers. The f-in tech suport guy at alesis told me i should try a different firewire cable (why they sell it with one that they think doesn't work is beyond me...

AB select is lame I should be able to link A to one button and B to another button or have the option of assigning it to one knob or fader. As far as I have been able to figure out I can't assign them to buttons. Or maybe I'm just retarded. But if I'm not retarded this feature is retarded. But I'm p...

I have a 1.33 ghz G4 Powerbook with OS 10.4.6 running live 5.2 that I have up until now only used to sequence external gear. But I have grown to like impulse so much I wanted to be able to put all of my sounds together so I bought a Multimix Firewire mixer only to find out that it did not function w...

I have used live to sequence my external synths with no problems. I have always had something against software instruments so I never bothered but now I like impulse so much I want to be able to hear both at the same time. The answer - I thought was the multimix but i was wrong. Everything starts ou...
