I am looking to buy a new computer for my musicproduction. I'm a student so I have a limited budget. I don't know which one to choose so I thought I'd ask the community what works best for them and with which they maybe had bad experiences...
I work with Ableton so I thought I'd post it here...
hi i am just wondering if anyone knows any websites or whatever where i can get a good vocal preset like the ones used in all the good 2020 hyperpop songs e.g. lieu, glaive, ericdoa
I'm having trouble make my Apogee Ensemble work with my macbook.
I've downloaded the driver and everything, I got the adapters and my Macbook recognize the Ensemble in my sound preferences. I know that Maestro and Control don't work with apple silicon but I don't think I actually need this (I only use the direct headphones plug on the Ensemble itself and I have a mixer that to connect mics and everything that connecting directly to my Ensemble).
One more thing - the light on the apogee is green when I connect it and the in becomes red and then blue (and stays blue).
If anyone already solve this I would love help!
Really a PITA recording artists who aren’t really 100% consistent w their performances. Logic has had this for a good time now
What soundcard or midi interface should I buy to connect circuit to ableton? I was thinking something lile arturia miniFuse 2. Is it a goos choise if I wanna connect also other synths?
There's a video I watched where someone added a Max4Live plugin directly to the Ableton Move that allowed him to stream radio stations from around the world to sample directly into his move session. Apparently it's called Radio Garden. Does anyone here have any experience installing something like this?
The video is here and starts around 7:15

Edit: I'm probably late, but it's called Schwung and basically completely transforms the Move into a completely different device. It's amazing
Really wanting to have a setup where i have a beefy synth bass line but i want have some kind filter set up that has multiple frequency sweeps from low to high across the spectrum over 4-8 bars of music. The sweeps when they reach the the top of the spectrum need to not audibly cut out and give the illusion that it starts again from the bottom seamlessly (so a shepherds tone).
Been super lost about doing this for a long time and have never managed to figure out how to do it. But if someone was able to figure it out then id owe them big time.
Hey all,
I'm a full time producer and really interested in the Push 3 as an alternative way of working and creating..... as I'm not really solely a beat maker per se so I'm wondering if there are any videos or people on YouTube you'd recommend I watch to get a feel of some other ways I can perhaps use it in my workflow that isn't MPC style sample chopping etc?
I've watched Datsunn and whilst I LOVE what he does my music isn't heavily focused on chops like that so curious if there are any people/workflows you can suggest that might spark some other ways I can incorporate the Push?
Much appreciated!!!
I have already installed Ample Guitar and have set all the VST folders and whatnot but it's still not showing up in Ableton itself. Please help!
i’m going absolutely mental
very new to using midi and physical hardware
i’m trying to write patterns in ableton and get my RD-6 to play them, i want to write patterns with ease with named notes, bass drum, cymbal etc.
how can i make this work, drum racks linked to my rd-6 as a external instrument produces 0 sound.
cheers guys.
So this is driving me nuts. I've been using Live since Live 10 on a Dell XPS Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU 32 GB RAM (win 10) circa 2020. Its been ok, but now using more plugins and I wanted a "futureproof" PC. So I bought a ASUS ROG Strix G18 Gaming Laptop, AMD Ryzen 9-9955HX 64GB RAM (win 11 pro).
I'm also using a Behringer Wing with their ASIO USB drivers as an interface.
The old XPS works fine (except of course the CPU load is high with some newer projects with more effects and plugins). Using the same system, same "light project" (down to the same USB cable from the wing to the PC), same buffer size, same 48k clock, and I get mad pops and clicks from the new AMD system. Clear as a bell thru my Kali IN 8s on the old XPS.
I spent a week going down the "Latency" "Process Lasso" rabbit hole. Latency Mon on the AMD shows no issues with realtime audio. But nothing helps. On the AMD using Live 12 and Windows MME/DirectX and Realtek built-in Audio w. headphones, everything is fine also. But otherwise the pops and clicks are unbearable. But no way I am spending over $2k on a "new" PC where I get driven nuts with pops and clicks using my system that works fine on an otherwise dated "mobile laptop".
Any help appreciated. Please don't turn this into a Mac vs PC debate. My old PC works fine and I'm too old and too vested to go back to Macs which I haven't used since Grad School 30 yrs ago ;)
I recently downloaded Live Lite in hopes to learn it and purchase the full version this summer, but I have been having severe issues. When I make even the simplest drum pattern, the CPU overload thing jumps up above 80% and the audio is horribly cracked and it doesn’t work at all. After some research, the problem seems to be 1. That my driver is MME and maybe 2. I have an ARM-based processor. I’m aware that since I have Windows I need ASIO, but I have had immense trouble downloading it and I can’t get it to work at all. I have also seen something called WASAPI but can’t get this to work either. I have also seen that maybe the issue is that I don’t have Realtek firmware (I have 4 speaker options and they’re all Qualcomm), and surprise surprise I can’t figure out how to get that downloaded either. Does anyone know what I can do about this?? Am I completely screwed because of my processor??
Also, any disadvantage to using a DC to USBC adapter?
I just ran a simple test because I've been noticing this. I watched my export (very long project but simple, just audio, no effects) live in Ableton go from 13% to 47% progress in two minutes. Then I just sat at my desktop with Ableton offscreen running in background and it went from 49% to 52% in two minutes.
Not a big deal but I don't know if I'm going crazy because I don't see anything about this
Anyone help…
I’m using auto shift and turning format setting down to deepen the vocal but the quality is really harsh at some points… I have turned smooth to top. I have also tried little alter boy.
I really wanna have the vocal deepened at the start of my song but can’t get this to sound right.
Any advise\pointers please
ok so i was trying to record at home as usual. i use amp sims so i just go guitar, pedalboard, interface. when i turned on my big muff and strummed harder is basically just fucked the sound for a moment. my clean is completely fine, all my other pedals are fine, its just the big muff. also when i was playing with just the direct monitor from the interface nothing happened so its something with it going to my laptop. anyone have any idea??? (Heres a recording so yall know wtf im talking about)
Purchased a new move and I have several pads that hang up, play notes randomly and respond to taps on the case and vibrations. Will this be fixed by usage. Or should I return it for a replacement? I appreciate the help.
Hey everyone,
I’m thinking about getting the Push 3 Standalone, but I’m a bit confused about its capabilities compared to using Ableton on a computer.
Can you actually create a full track on the standalone version the same way you would on a computer? For example, can you use Max for Live devices, sound design, etc., or are there significant limitations? I know arrangement doesn’t work.
It almost sounds too good to be true that it could fully replace the computer workflow, so I’d love to hear from people who have real experience with it.
Thanks!
I’m encountering an issue in Live 12 where recording into Session View clip slots is consistently limited to exactly 1 bar, and count-in is not triggering as expected. I’ve done some troubleshooting and wanted to provide a clear summary.
Behavior:
When I click an empty clip slot to record (audio), recording starts immediately (no count-in)
Recording always stops automatically after exactly 1 bar
The clip then loops that 1 bar
This happens consistently across all tests
Expected behavior:
Recording should continue until I manually stop it, with loop length determined by when I stop recording
Count-in (set to 1 bar) should occur before recording begins when applicable
What I’ve tested:
Tested both with and without Push 3 connected
Fixed Length toggled ON and OFF on Push
I was unable to find a Fixed Length setting within Live itself to verify its state there
Global Quantization set to None (also tested at 1 Bar)
Launch Mode tested with both Trigger and Gate (including click and click-and-hold behavior)
“Start Transport With Record” toggled ON and OFF
Punch In/Out OFF
Arrangement Loop OFF
Count-in set to 1 bar
No MIDI controllers or external devices connected during testing
Tested using only built-in laptop input
Created brand new Live Set and new audio track
Used never-before-used clip slots
Same behavior occurs when using the global Session Record button
Does anyone know what might be causing this behavior, or if there is a setting or known issue in Live 12 that could explain it?
Thanks very much for your help.
I want to randomise the order of distortion plug-ins in the chain to generate different tones without having to manually drag them each time. I have already figured out how to randomise parameters within the plug-ins. Thanks.
