@@LNADoesAudioStuff I guess that I 'll have to watch more tutorials to understand how to map more than 8 parameters in a vst or instrument and have those macros reflected in the push .

[@ArtificialJetleg]

Hey nice vid! In terms of the last part which you recorded and then comp, do you have to pay attention to how close you are from the mic for when you record the takes, and also how loud you sing it? Otherwise wouldn’t the comping sound clearly “cut” in various parts of the clip? Just asking, because I want to use comping. Never done it. I just sing it again, but a very lengthy process that gets you tired 😴

[@felixdorn21]

Hey, thank you for explaining that in such a nice way 👍🏻Got another Question concerning moving wavefiles in time: when I record one source - for example a guitar cabinet - with two different mics and I want to move one mic recording in very small sample amounts back or forth a bit. How do I do that? All the best from Switzerland! Felix

Really helpful. Quick question - how to you increase the volume of what is being recorded? I'm using a Yamaha THR and the sound is very faint. Clearly, I am missing something simple? TY :)

To make creating tracks faster and easier is if you hold control you can drag the songs and they will align in tracks automatically 👍🏽😁

[@gutterbrain08]

[@tzanofficial5342]

Hello? I am going for recording and my record isn't clear what can I do for this

[@GigglinHamster]

First of all, great video! I've got a challenging request, but I actually want to learn how to do this, so here's my question....How do you perform and record a Skrillex style recording like Bangarang using Push 2 and start to mix and master the results in Live 10? Could you use maybe just an eight to sixteen measure performance that's in the ballpark stylistically, and talk a little bit about how to commit the Push 2 performance to the timeline in the arrangement view? If I could see how the result looks in the arrangement view in Live 10, that would be very satisfying. Love your tutorials!

[@MrTupperzul]

Thanks so much for your awesome instruction. I am a newbie at this and trying to record my guitar against a backing track, but I am not able to get the volume of my guitar in balance with the backing track. Any suggestions would be appreciated- Tenly

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

There might be many reasons, make sure all your levels are correct and then learn about mixing/compression and gain staging :)

[@MrTupperzul]

Thanks, still not able to find some good instruction on compression and gain

Hi .. while recording vocals I am not getting enough loud vocals output in my headphones due to which I am not able to give my best though able to hear the karaoke track properly... How to solve this . I am using focusrite 2i2 3gen audio interface

[@michaels7127]

How do you fix latency problems when recording live tracks like guitar and vocals separately?

[@GeoOm]

You lower latency. Also using headphones sends signal directly helps

[@MrXelsior]

as far as audio latency is concerned, I have a problem. I've adjusted "sample" settings and so forth and I have tried to optimize my PC laptop to record vocals and add guitar to my Ableton Live Lite 11 sessions. I'm using an M-audio solo audio interface. If I upgrade my laptop to 16 gigs of RAM from the 8 gigs I have now, will that eliminate the latency problem??

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

So you put Buffer Size Amount as small as you can from preferences? Usually that's the issue :)

[@rajeevpal8550]

👍👍👍

[@robinthorntonsingersongwriter]

HELP! When I press record, the metronome clicks once and then stops. The play button remains green and when I press stop, the play button does not become black. Have you heard of this problem? Can you offer a solution? Thanks in advance The Reductionist.

Please help me out .What is the max recording time for a live show ?

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

The max amount u can record is 2gb. Depending on the setting time varies on how fast 2gb becomes full :)

[@altenmuenster]

can one pre-define clip lengths in the session view? or is that only possible via overdub?

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Yes you can select the clip lenght from the clip editing view :)

[@altenmuenster]

@@LNADoesAudioStuff i meant like on the fly while live reording.. its just that sometimes there is no free hand to actually stop the recording.. so it would be nice if a loop bounces off after e.g. 8 bars and starts playing automatically thereafter. :)

[@speakthetruth110]

Thank you so much for your video. Sorry, I have a problem I can not figure out. I am using windows 10 with Ableton 11 lite. My interface is ZED 10 fx (2 input Stereo). I have followed your settings, but I still have a little problem... In the Master track I have the Cue set to channel 1 and the Master main to channel 2. When I record a mic audio to Track 1 and then I go down and record another mic audio on track 2. When I solo playback only track 2, I can hear 50 % volume of track 1 has bled into the recording of track 2. I have tried many different variations on settings, but track 1 continues to bleed into the recording of track 2. So frustrating, I am about to give up. I hope someone can help me out. Thank you all in advance. 😒

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

If you wish to only record audio, leave master track settings as they are originally. If you only have to outputs on your interface, you will not hear it back in stereo.
