Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Kachanski - 4th March 2010 Yea got mine for 650 euro from a mate, great box Its taken over my beat making altogether, great for filthy bass too. Its got a particular sound though which frustrated me for a while but have just been goin with it in glee of late. Have you heard Autechre's 'untilted'. Thats pretty much all machinedrum straight outta the box with maybe a few bits of monomachine here and there. Good listen to hear its capabilities.

Can you do that? (i.e. autosplit every bar or two) ? this is a much requested feature.. you can do it pretty quick though using the keyboard shortcuts.. select the point you want to split ctrl/cmd e then select all the clips and drop them on the session view selector for dropping them in session view..

But I never knew you could actually drag the markers to reverse order. Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - buzz - 26th March 2010 Lephrenic Wrote:Stretch Notes is always handy.

Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - buzz - 26th March 2010 midi pianoroll trick for moving your notes an octave : hit shift + arrow up/down shifts your notes an octave ! a good time saver cheers Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Paradigm X - 26th March 2010 found the midi pitch shift plugins last night, was looking for that Loving ableton, more i play with it the slicker it gets. Love the way you can record little 2-4 whatever bar loops from vsts instantly, and instantly trims to suit, and records to perfect bar lengths, perfect for bouncing out loops from reaktor drum machines etc. Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - cube - 26th March 2010 hit up http://www.youtube.com/user/cosmcosm or http://cosm.co.nz for loads and loads of ableton tips Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Delta - 28th March 2010 Nice one Cube! Good tutorial. Ableton is pretty fracking awesome. A hell of a long way to go, but so far so good Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Stacks - 29th March 2010 Delta showed me a few bits on Friday - so I messed about with Ableton over the weekend. It's good stuff and so quick to get ideas going - the effects that are built in don't seem as nice as the ones in logic though. Is there any way to get the logic space designer/tape delay etc. working in Ableton? Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Lephrenic - 1st April 2010 Rewire with MainStage would be the simplest way, if you want to sequence in Live and use Logic fx/instruments. Logic and MainStage have to be the ReWire hosts and Live the client, not the other way around (obviously for some brilliant reason Apple pulled out of their ass). Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Stacks - 6th April 2010 Think I might just stick with logic. I don't really see much advantage in Ableton so far. Though it is enjoyable for making loops, I find that the arrangement bit is the hardest part of making music (for me) and I think Logic is probably superior in that regard. Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Delta - 9th April 2010 Can someone tell me if/how you can bring all your loops from the session page over to the arrangement page, please. Thank you very much. Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Lephrenic - 9th April 2010 Click - drag. Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Delta - 9th April 2010 Nice one matey!

Have looked at the launchpad, but I want some faders for controlling levels as my live stuff isnt overly 'scene' launch based.. Can the 8 faders have different banks? cos 8 isn't enough, if i can press bank 2 or something and have that 8 move to 9-16? Ableton: Do any of you guys use it to make beats? - Lephrenic - 11th April 2010 Yes you should get one. I use mine all the time. And yes they can bank up/down. Nowadays they can control return tracks as well. Mind you, the Launchpad's 'button fader' method for controlling volume is kinda cool.
