Guest cosmonaut Posted June 19, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCM Posted June 19, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ~ism Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Live is so fucking simple it's unreal. the key is: buy an original copy. really complicated, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted June 19, 2006 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...

Guest cosmonaut Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Live is so fucking simple it's unreal. the key is: buy an original copy. really complicated, eh? i thought you (or someone else) would be around to post this. i'd like to, but: a) i don't have the funds at the moment. i know, copout excuse, but it's the truth. and... 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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
