Ableton Forum

You're going to need an interface. There are several options. The product I'm most familliar with is M-Audio's Audiophile. There is a USB version and a Firewire version. This is a good piece of hardware for a DJ because it has RCA line inputs. The people at this forum tend to go for Echo interfaces,...

Who is Sales Dude McBoob? Before I tell you, I'd like to know who you think I am, or, at least, what it was that prompted you to ask.

Yes but even you have to admit that $399 is a bit steep for a toaster. Four hundred bucks ain't so bad. Think of the poor Logic users out there. To get going now you have to shell out $1000. The old users who have already invested years of their lives just to figure out how to import and record tra...

Have you selected the input and output on the specific track that you want to record in? That can be done in the arrangement window near the little microphone icon. Set the input on the track as channel one of the Mobilepre. Click the microphone icon and the speaker or headphone icon too (I forget w...

I got one of these off limewire but have been unable to get the codes for it. Any chance you could help?

It's codes you need? No problem. For $399 I can get you codes, a nifty looking box, and a clear conscience.

Good day to you sir.

Hey MarkH... Perhaps you can put together a response to the token question "Hey, I just got Live and I can't figure out how to arm and record and audio track!" Then, whenever we get that question you can just copy and paste it in. I'd do it but I check this forum at work and I can't save s...

I take it you're using Live Delta that came with the Mobilepre... I haven't used Delta, but I'm assume it's similar to early versions of Live. You may have to go to the View menu to change the Bus from a mono deal to a stereo deal. Then you have to configure the Preferences to monitor through Live o...

I got my copy free from Ableton. They gave me verison 3 six or seven months ago, and version 4 came out soon afterward. It took the Ableton Rep so long to get me the codes for version 4 that I ALMOST paid for it. I've sold enough copies and spread the gospel so much that I feel that it was a worthwh...

I hear there are plans to integrate sound samples from Halion into the beep horns on Yamaha dirt motorbikes.

Admittedly, a newbie going at Live for the first time with the intent to record an audio track, well, it isn't the most obvious thing in the world. I think it's a different procedure on a PC than a Mac. If this was someone messing with the forum, well, so be it, harr-dee-har-har-har. But if this was...

What do you want to do with Live as far as recording these musicians? If you want to overdub muilt-track style you can't really use the camera, as far as I know. You can record the music on the camera, capture it with FCP, then export the audio from FCP as WAV files and import them into Live. Then y...

Ten dollars for twenty samples seems expensive. In the software market it seems wise to offer the most stuff for the least amount of money as possible. For example, when a newbie compares the capabilities of Live 4 versus Logic 7, the $399 software seems like the better deal. Be specific with your l...
