Guest cosmonaut Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 finally got ableton up and going again, but i've got a couple of queries that i hope you guys can help me out with. 1) some of my vsts don't work? the ones that don't work have just a black dot where the MIDI button is, and when i select it to use the vst, it doesn't work... only the ones with small dots that look like a MIDI plug work. what am i doing wrong? 2) on this installation of ableton, i don't have devices - nothing under the subcategories in instruments, midi effects or audio effects. is there a way i can obtain them or is this version fucked? sorry for the asinine questions, thanks Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/9768-ableton-n00b-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCM Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Deeping Ableton Conference. I need to come to that too - I can't work Ableton out for the fucking life of me... Iain C to lecture and give a key note speech.

Guest ~ism Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Live is so fucking simple it's unreal. the key is: buy an original copy. really complicated, eh?

BCM Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well, I didn't really want it, but my mate came back from Thailand with a shit load of pirated software and CDs and shit, and one of them was Ableton Live 5, so I thought, "I'll have a copy of that!". No manual though. It's OK, I'm happy with FLoops, and sure that I can get a manual etc, I'm not actually that bothered - I've just tried messing about with it a couple of times and couldn't work it out that's all...

B) i don't think i'm serious enough with musicmaking to invest $500 in software. i just do it for a kick, nothing i make is really any good, just like messing around with it.

mosca Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 go to ableton's web site. download the demo - you get the manual with the installer. read the manual - seriously, it's a good read - not too techy and it's really fucking helpful. if you're running 5.0.2 then you're fucked - it was buggy as fuck even on the official release. 5.2 however is a pure dream! Live 6 is due soon! woOOOOT mo Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide mosca's signature Hide all signatures Touch my bum...
