r/abletonlive

I've been producing in fl studio for about four or five years now and want to expand my knowledge. I just got ableton and have not touched it yet, what would be a good place to start learning? I'm looking for free courses, youtube channels, projects i could do, stuff like that

I've been using the free piano samples (the Ableton Grand Piano and the Arturia Ananlog Lab V American Home Grand), the problem I'm having is the sound wavers on notes that are held a long time, sounding very sampled and fake.

What piano VST are you using and does the sound waver on long held notes?

VIXSOUND - AI assistant for productionin Ableton Live

Hey everyone 👋

We've been working on building VIXSOUND, an AI production assistant for Ableton, which means a small desktop app that runs alongside Ableton and basically gives you a production assistant you can talk to while you work.

The idea is simple: you stay in the creative seat, and the assistant handles the boring/tedious stuff so you don't break your flow.

Some things you can ask it to do:

• "Give me a dark trap drum pattern at 140 bpm" → drops a MIDI clip on a new track
• "Find a warm analog pad and load it" → searches your library, loads it
• "Separate the stems from this track" → drag and drop, done
• "What's the key and tempo of this loop?" → tells you in seconds
• "Turn this vocal into MIDI" → transcribes it
• Plus the small stuff: volume, panning, sends, device params, anything Live exposes

A few things we really cared about while building it:

• It generates MIDI, not finished audio. Your own instruments and plugins make the sound, the assistant just speeds you up. You're still the producer.
• Everything audio-related runs locally on your machine. Stems, samples, project files, none of that ever leaves your computer. Only the text you type goes to the AI.
• Whatever you make is 100% yours. No royalties, no attribution, nothing weird.
• Native app, no terminal, no Python setup, no "git clone this first". Install and it just works.

Right now it's macOS + Ableton 11/12 only. Windows and Logic Pro are on the way (waitlists are open for both).

Why we're posting:

We genuinely need beta testers who produce music day to day. We've been staring at this for too long and we know we're missing stuff. Especially curious about:

• What feels useful vs. what feels gimmicky
• Whether talking to your DAW feels natural or just annoying
• Things you'd expect it to do that it doesn't
• Bugs, weirdness, anything that breaks

7-day free trial, no card required. Link's in the comments so we're not spamming the post with URLs.

We'll be in the comments all day answering anything, and honestly happy to take the heat too if you think the whole concept is off, that's also useful. Really appreciate anyone who gives it a shot!

Hey! What are some cool free plugins to download on ableton, that also work on older versions (ableton live 11 in this case). If anyone has any suggestions it would be great to know! :)

Ciao, ho una questione che mi sta facendo impazzire. Mac o Windows per la produzione musicale e live set.

Vi spiego la mia configurazione:

Machine mk3;

Volca Korg drum

Volca korg keys

Sono 5 anni che suono solo nella mia cameretta e vorrei uscire dalla stanza, perché mi piacerebbe suonare per i miei amici e fargli dei live set, ho già registrato diversi pezzi. Ho fatto tutto da autodidatta.

A casa ho un computer fisso con win os. Il PC è di alta gamma ed è stato assemblato interamente da me.

Ora Windows mi pare un po' stressante per completare la configurazione e gli asio delle volte li odio perché non riescono a trasmettermi l'audio su obs e dovrei Installare un botto di roba e non mi va.

A me piace suonare sia live perché ho imparato davvero tanto in questi anni e mi ero partito da zero. Ho solo ascoltato un sacco di musica elettronica. E mi sono accorto di essere capace nel fare determinate cose. Non sono un dj, ma creo i miei live set a seconda delle mie emozioni.

Ora siccome voglio uscire dalla mia camera ho bisogno di un portatile. Cosa consigliate?

Mac book air o Mc book pro oppure sto su Window

Ma vorrei stabilità.

Vi ringrazio già per l'aiuto.

Mi andrebbe bene pure un portatile Mac del 2020 deve fare solo quello musica e live non altro.

Ciaoooo

Hey, did anyone try the Production music live Live Set Start To Finish Academy or Rachel Collier how to perform live courses?

Nope! GayleHayle’s official license transfers are much less.

I never really got the chance to experience Splice Studio.

Looking through some of these subreddits, it seems like people miss it. Is there a solid replacement out there?

I just want to make my workflow easier on a day to day basis.

In the last few patches Ableton has changed it so that pressing cmd f deletes whatever was written in the search bar.

This has been driving me nuts!!! I've gotten used to typing first whatever I want and then pressing cmd f to search the entire system. I know this might be a bit of a stupid workflow but it's what I've gotten used to. Now I find myself writing everything twice. I tried getting used to it but I'm still repeating this mistake again and again.

Please change it back to the way it was or at least add an option to change it. I've had many different issues with Live through out my 10 years of using it, this is the first time I've actually felt the urge and gone out of my way to write a request/feedback. Please Please PLEASE add this function or any way of changing this, I've been losing my mind!!! PLEASE!!
