@@SpaceFaceFPV it’s ALWAYS something easy that nobody thinks to mention!! Hahaha. Hey check out my other stuff to see what a person can do using only Ableton Live as the DAW / performance software!!!

@@JonValtandtheEvilRobots I'm subbing right now, I could use a good tutorial as I'm coming from FLstudio and GarageBand, and hardware synths. So I want to try mixing Ableton soft synths and massive vst with my hardware synths for a unique sound pallett. Your channel seems really good so far! Thanks again 😊👍

@@SpaceFaceFPV totally doable. I use VST instruments as well as real ones. I even have one where I can send midi out from Ableton Live, to an external drum machine…. Then the audio comes BACK into Ableton Live! It’s actually super easy once you get the hang of it. (Don’t beat yourself up if it takes a bit!!!) Lmk if you have questions. I could maybe make a video. My contact info should be in bio or on my other social media. 😀

@@BenLoula find me that venue in NZ!

Thank you! This is a work in progress and it feels great.

Thanks Travis!!!

Thank you sir!!!

Btw, before you got sound on that Midi channel, your Monitor-Midi-To was set to "No output". Once you dropped the wavetable - it went to Audio-To: Master. So, why couldn't you simply do that first? (without adding an instrument-wavetable...

@@prtzl8lgc460 Ableton Live typically automatically arms a track when you drag a VST into it. This only happens automatically one time. If you drop VST 1 into Track 1, it *should* arm by itself. Then if you drop VST 2 into Track 2, it should arm Track 2. You will then be “nervewracked” because you hadn’t yet learned about the Arm button (and Exclusive Arm) because you’d find that your VST 1 instrument is “suddenly” silent, and the only way you know how to make an instrument play is by dragging and dropping. Haha THAT is why I showed you in the video. :)

@@prtzl8lgc460 look into getting an ASIO driver (such as ASIO4ALL). It’s Microsoft Windows that is difficult with sound, not Ableton Live. :) Get to know if a little better and you’ll see. 😄 You need ASIO. Using MMX -> Realtek Speakers is gonna be weird. What you’re describing - hearing metronome as well as previews, means you’re properly receiving “Cue” audio. Awesome! Everything is working! Once you’ve assigned to a track - nothing… yep! I got the answer! That’s cuz your “main” (not cue) output is not set to your main speakers. Look down in the bottom right corner area for what looks like two volume faders. One has headphones next to it. Top drop down is Cue output and bottom drop-down is Main output. As you get better with Ableton Live you’ll find this very useful! Because you’d send cue output to your headphones and main output to Speakers. That way, as you’ve already found out, you can sample midi clips, play previews, etc., without the audience hearing it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@JonValtandtheEvilRobots Yup, I have ASIO4ALL, I choose Driver: ASIO. Audio device: ASIO4ALL V2. Now, this is where confusion sets in. All help videos indicate to choose your own audio hardware. I have tried that - Realtek ASIO - was the option given. I have also made the sampling rate for Ableton the same as computer, at 48K. So, I can choose a pad, and load it to a track, and hit space bar - nothing, no audio. I have tried all options of the output (1, 2, 1/2), to no avail. It has degraded to not even playing the metronome anymore. This can't be this hard, can it? I'm thinking there are 4 million musicians out there with a PC, just wanting to try this software....

@@prtzl8lgc460 are you seeing that there are TWO places to select audio out, cue and regular? Sounds like you’re adjusting the cue output again. Do you see the two drop downs? Let’s start there.

🤣

Hell yeah brother. Let’s hear those tunes!!

Go to your Settings - Audio - and choose your audio interface as the output. If you are playing an instrument and seeing the green bars showing that audio *should* be coming out, then it is definitely your audio settings. If no output bars show up, it's more likely the instrument isn't producing sound at all, because either your midi device isn't properly controlling it or a myriad of other reasons. Feel free to try it and ask a follow-up question - I like helping people figure it out.

Thank you! 🥰

You're welcome 😊

Glad you liked it!

Arming tracks is the same concept on every single DAW.

🥰🥰 thank you! Here is a newer version that’s more wild. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3mmcplvmb9jmpYsi=cW9cCzQkxWunch-L

Thank you for leaving a comment. I have so much fun with this thing it’s ridiculous. Check out this updated version, trust me kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3mmcplvmb9jmpYsi=cW9cCzQkxWunch-L 🤣

Hahaha hell yeah. Big stuff coming this year. Not selling anything but a good time, so come hang out.

Hey thanks for stopping by! 😀

Check out this update! 🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3mmcplvmb9jmpYsi=cW9cCzQkxWunch-L

The Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous god.

Totally. Exclusive being OFF used to mess me up because I’d record over things on accident. But I have a new rig for gigging, and I definitely have it turned off now on purpose. Because I have to sometimes arm an instrument to play it and I don’t want to UNarm everything! If you are using Session View, also check out “record on clip launch” if you want to have tracks armed but not always record into them every single time. Hope that helps! 😊

Hell yes. I love seeing that this video is helping people still. Thanks for the sub and welcome to the Evil Botnet.

Absolutely! :)

Hahaha thanks for stopping by. I’ve come a long way since then lol and I’m glad this video is helping people. Good luck!

What's up?

When you say it comes in and out, you're saying sometimes they'd trigger and sometimes they wouldn't? Would they ever trigger on their own? I'm curious about whether you have something else playing that note on Channel 10, or a clip in Live that's playing a note which interferes, etc. etc. Does MIDI information get recorded properly, regardless of sound? ie is it a recording or playback issue? ("Playback" meaning playing from Ableton Live OR monitoring while recording). Trying to narrow down where in the chain something is failing for you.

Hey dude, I'm glad you found it! :-)

Absolutely! :) :) I’m glad you found it and that it helped.

Heck yeah. I’m glad it was helpful.

Thank you Ben!

Thank you!! :)

You mean nothing is playing now, or did the video help? :)

The video helped.. I was trying to get a korg nanokey studio to work at the same time and I had no idea what was going on..

@@DJCJ999heck yeah. Awesome. Just FYI most of us (including people with lots of gear and videos on YT) have no idea what we are doing either. Lol. All that happened is that I ran up against this before you did - but we are all still figuring all this gear out. 😂

lol! We are all just winging it!!.. Incidently I have given up on the Korg.. the native mapping was f'ing up the program and closing out instruments :/ it just became a frustrating mess so i've got my eye on a Novation KB which also has built in arp and chord play back.. just a bummer it needs a power source (means another thing to travel with).@@JonValtandtheEvilRobots

Turn off “remote” on the korg’s midi OUT within the settings of Ableton live and the controls shouldn’t mess with you anymore. Then you can midi map whatever you want to control, as midi still works with Remote disabled (using Track)

Heck yeah, thank you sir!
