Guys I got the Push2 and it is everything you said it would be and more. The only issue I’m having is that this is my first time using touch-sensitive pads with velocity control and my rhythm leaves a bit to be desired haha. I have been finger drumming on Launchpad S buttons for two years so it is quite a change. Edit: I am noticing something strange when I have my Push turned on with my AT-LP120 also turned on, running ableton. With a track on the record input, I am hearing a slight click that keeps repeating about every second that almost sounded like I was getting interference. I tried turning off different devices and found that the Push was causing the noise. Any idea what this is and how to get rid of it without turning off one or the other? I am running my LP120 into a Phono Preamp and then into my Scarlett 18i8. MrSargent fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Mar 18, 2018 |

Welp this is my third post in a row but so be it. I am having an issue with one of my tracks that is getting close to completion. It has a lot of individual audio/midi tracks and a good amount of processing, but I have frozen pretty much everything that I can to reduce the CPU load. The issue is that when I press Play (or hit spacebar), there is a noticeable delay between the tracking bar and the actual music coming out. In other words, I hit Play, the tracking bar starts moving for maybe a second or two, and then I hear audio. It sounds like it should, but delayed by a second or two compared to the tracking bar. I noticed that the delay or latency is particularly bad now when trying to record. There is at least a couple seconds of delay between the vocalist and the audio coming out of Ableton. I was just recording other vocals for this track last week and had zero latency issues. I also opened another track and verified that it does not have the same issue. Any ideas what is going on with this one?

Any chance the wrong drivers are selected? With a smaller arrangement you may not notice this but when you have a bunch of poo poo running you would get this kind of behavior.

That was one of the things I checked first. Its correctly using ASIO and Focusrite USB 2.0 device. I am going to try to bounce the track to stems and work in a new project. I think that will at least give me something I can use to record the rest of the vocal tracks, and for editing, I can work with the delay.

Sounds like you have a lot of plug-ins that are introducing significant latency into the project. This is something I experience with processor heavy vsts like any izotope ozone stuff or other mastering plug-ins. Always bounce a .wav and open a new project for recording vocals, no need to risk getting a sloppy performance due to latency.

Is there an easy way in Ableton to jam on a loop like you would in Simpler's slice mode but have it continue looping the entire sample from where you last triggered it? Basically I want something like the Simpler Slicer set to "thru" mode, but I want it to loop instead of stopping at the end.

I'm not 100% sure what you want to do, but one way you could accomplish this would be to slice the sample as you desire, copy it multiple times down a column in session view, set the start and end points to each slice so each clip plays the next slice, then add follow actions to go down the list with a final follow action to loop back to the top at the bottom of the list. Then, whatever slice you trigger would start and it would keep playing the loop using the follow actions. I hope that made sense.

If it’s just jam, throw the loop into an audio track in session mode and just set Abletons looper on for that piece of time. I thought you could enable looping on the audio/midi clip itself, but I’ll have to look when I get home.

I was hoping for something a little less involved, but I guess it's not so bad. If this helps you understand: DJ software like Serato and Traktor let you set cue points in a track. If you have an active loop that contains cue points, pressing a cue point would jump the playhead to that point. So some DJs might loop a drum break and have some cues set up so they can riff on the drums a bit. I've got a bunch of records with open drum breaks I've been sampling and thought there would be an intuitive way to do this, but I guess I must be the weird one

Nah that doesn’t sound crazy at all, just a different way of using Ableton than I typically use. This has to be possible in Ableton because so many people use it live, I’ll try to play around a bit tonight but may not get a chance.

Create a Session Clip like the one labelled "DrumRack1" below. Add your MIDI or Audio Clip, double click on the clip, and on the bottom bar under the Notes tab, you will see an option you can enable called "Loop". Now when you activate that session clip, it will loop that clip. Once you enable the Loop button, you can adjust the loop length using the colored bar on the wav/midi note on the clip. Let me know if you have any questions.

I got addictive drums and 3 kits for $75, given the fact that it supports my e-drums out of the box with a couple of clicks it's a very good deal for me, offer ends today: https://www.xlnaudio.com/addictivedrums You can also route stuff through separate tracks for sidechaining or individual effects (although you can't do this for individual cymbals) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DcCvQtlZMY

Proper noob Live 10 question here. I'm trying to follow this: https://sonicstate.com/news/2013/11/18/blog-drum-slicing-and-layering-in-ableton-live/ I've run into trouble almost immediately. I dropped a click in an audio track, looped it, set warp to re-pitch and it's looping fine. Then the article tells you to right click and 'consolidate' the clip like it says to. If I right click on the click in the pane at the bottom of the screen there's no consolidate option. If I do it on the clip in the session view there's no consolidate option. There's a consolidate option in the Edit menu, but it remains greyed out whatever I do. The help text for consolidate says that it 'replaces the clip in the arrangment view selection with one new clip per track'. That doesn't really sound like what the tutorial wants me to do. Am I being an idiot or it it just really out of date?

You need to be in Arrangement View for consolidate to work (IIRC). Copy the clip to the Arrangement view (or you can just drag it to the Session/Arrangement button top right-ish and drop it in), then keep goin'. bit silly that consolidate doesnt work in session mode but thats live for ya colonp fucked around with this message at 09:09 on May 26, 2018 |

I usually like to jam and make ideas in Session view, then port it all over to the arrangement view once the initial ideas/sections are worked out. However, when I copy a scene from session view to arrangement view, I only get one loop of each clip. Consequently, I have to go through each track and extend the clip to the desired length, which can be cumbersome. For example, if I copy Scene 1 with a 4-bar drum loop and a 1-bar bass loop over to arrangement, the result is a 4-bar arrangement where the 1-bar bass loop plays once before disappearing. This problem compounds if I try to copy two scenes at once, since the bass loop for Scene 2 will start playing after the bass loop from Scene 1 is finished. What I'd prefer to happen instead is that, when Scene 1 is copied to arrangement view, that 1-bar bass loop repeats 4 times to match up with the 4-bar drum clip. Then all clips from Scene 2 would begin after Scene 1. Is this just not possible or am I missing a hotkey/setting somewhere? The default behaviour seems odd and counterproductive to me.

Why not just jam in the arrangement view with the loop bar? That way when you record, everything will already be the right length and in the right spot.

You mean record a playthrough of myself switching between the scenes as the desired points? That's a fine enough solution, but it doesn't really save any time compared to manually copy-pasting each scene.

Get a Launchpad mini. They're dirt cheap and perfect for doing what you want. I find that doing it in real time helps as well, sometimes I'll find a different combination of scenes that I wouldn't have thought of if I was just copy/pasting.

I have a Push and a APC40. It's not really the convenience of composing in session view- I already have that. It's just a peculiarity in my workflow in transitioning from session view to arrangement view, as I often prefer to do that part 'in box' rather than with controllers. It's really not a huge deal- and it's probably better practice to record myself jamming out the session anyway. I've been doing a lot of minimal / deep techno production lately, and it will allow for much more organic manipulation of channel parameters.

For the Push owners in the audience, have you folks experienced a glitch where the display/tactile controls 'stick' when switching between elements in a drum kit? Like I'll sequence the kicks, and then press the snare pad to start sequencing it, but the display/knobs are the top are 'stuck' on the macros for the kick? if I switch away from the drum kit channel and then back to it, the display/macro control will correct itself and I can control the snare. As you can imagine though, this is really annoying. I've had this glitch since at least the beta of Ableton 10.

Is it possible to change the velocity of a note while the note is playing? I'm trying to make some strings sound better and would like to have notes playing like if a violinist starts playing a note with the bow softly but then starts to pull the bow more intensely. Preferably by using the aftertouch of the Push. Is that even possible? I can change volume and other parameters while the note is playing but it seems like the velocity you get when you start playing a note is the one you'll have until the note stops.

In the "Midi" tab on Sampler you could try linking Aftertouch to Volume?

No, it is not possible to change velocity after the MIDI note on message is sent, since velocity is part of the note on message itself. Aftertouch or other CC messages are how you modify a sound after the note on message. Depending on the synth you might be able to fire additional note on messages for the same key and encode different velocity values, but unless you can keep the synth engine from re-triggering the note you’re just going to get a mess of new notes for each.

your best bet would be to duplicate the strings track and set the velocity higher on the copy, and then bind a fader to gradually fade between the soft and loud tracks.

I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to whether Ableton will soon support VST3? I did some digging and found a generic statement from the company saying that they can't share specific plans until they have software available to avoid over/under promising. I know VST2 is still very common but I feel like there are some flagship plugins like Autotune that are VST3 only (unless you get the light version).

You can route individual channels to specific outputs on your interface as long as they are set up as active outputs in your preferences. This should help: https://www.ableton.com/en/manual/routing-and-i-o/
