The Ableton Live Thread

[CuBuLo]

Here is the thread to chat all about, and ask questions about Ableton Live. So talk away.

To start I have one question. Is there a way you can immediately activate a beat repeat effect from an assigned button without just turning the effect on and off?

I tired it once, never really got it to work for me. I may try it again.

I dunno, I've got music this afternoon, I'll ask my teacher coz we use it at college, I'll get back to you.
I love ableton though, it's really quite easy when you know what you're doing lol

Click on Key on the top right corner. After that click on the beat repeat on/off button and asign a key

I like Live for well a LIVE setting. But I honestly can't see how people could use it as a DAW. It's too complicated to do things that are SO MUCH EASIER in Pro Tools

Using it as an actual DAW for music creation, it's terribly annoying. Automating plug-ins, editing recorded audio, and even the midi is kinda annoying. But that's just my opinion, I'm not saying you're wrong I'm just telling you how I tired to use it. It's amazing for live performance though. I can export the different loops from Pro Tools, put them in Ableton, and mix and mash loops from different songs.

Here a sketch I made of my current ableton live set for performing live. I havent performed yet but will soon.
