[@stevem1750]

Of all the tutorials, yours was the only one that I could understand and follow. Thanks to you I got my stuff to work. Literally days of frustration watching and reading videos till I found yours.

[@AdoramaMusic]

Great to hear!

[@ByTheSpirit84]

bro, this is AWESOME! I've searched forever trying to find someone who speaks noob for peeps like me. lol thanks!

[@goblinballadeer9318]

As a primitive who spent years enjoying stomp boxes and an amp, plugging the guitar into a computer was a stressful experience for me. Thank you so much for this wonderful, clear step-by-step guide for dummies! I was about to tear my hair out until you explained the hidden mysteries of hitting the "In" button on the right side of the track. Now I can actually hear my guitar through the interface and computer. Miraculous. 😂

[@ShoreSkeptic]

That’s amazing to hear! So glad it helped.

[@franktalbot4102]

I have finally found a tutorial that I can actually use to learn how to make a simple recording or a couple of instruments without all the midi stuff and the million feature of Ableton live. Thank you so much for your video!

Thank you for taking the time to make this very helpful tutorial! God bless you in Yeshua's name :)

[@TheTimeProphet]

I am used to Reaper and only just getting into Ableton. Good tutorial but can you tell me how to setup a noise gate to remove background guitar hiss?

[@hn-tv7975]

Thanks for the impressive explanation.

[@mattg082]

I noticed you’re set to “off”. Is that due to the fact you are listening on a direct output? I’ve found using anything other than off, may introduce some out of time than when you played. So I generally have all audio set to off and direct monitor with my interface. That way things seem to line up a lot better with other instruments. Otherwise I’m zooming and nudging. In Logic and others I find you can kind of forget that with the auto delay compensation…given you have a low buffer. I do use in for vst instruments though. Just wondering what your take is on using In,Auto and Off for audio Vs what you use for day a vst synth recording midi. I always find this issue can make or break a tight sounding pro recording. When I started I didn’t pay much attention, and things never sounded tight and polished. Once I noticed especially when not playing 4/4 timings. It made a huge difference!

[@ulfheonar9126]

im using rocksmith cable and I have a delay in ableton live but no delay in rocksmith or neural dsp gojira standalone , in preferences in says 278ms latency , anyway to fix this ? good video btw

[@sarahm.martinezf3771]

Hey girl, I can hear my voice but nothing records when I press the "record button", what do you suggest?

[@BolognaBolognaBologna]

why does my bass only record on the right, although when monitoring plays in both?

[@two_legit1832]

I'm recording my Martin D-15M with the microphone that came with the focusright 2i2 bundle. After I record a track and play back the arrangement I can barely hear it through my headphones even with the volume all the way up on the 2i2 unit. It's driving me nuts and I can't figure out why. Any ideas? Do I need a better microphone?? I've already set up my Audio Preferences to ASIO so I'm pretty sure that's not it.

[@LenaKMusic]

how do you make sure your not peaking? I didn't catch that at all either time

[@jimmytwitch5066]

Still not getting any sound from Ableton. The monitoring option doesn't seem to work on Live Lite.

[@dhananjayadezoysa2477]

💖💖💖

[@newage2335]

How about you want to be recording live vocals while youre playing the guitar

[@Sarahcha_93]

I have a Gretsch electro acoustic and when I plug it into my interface and try to record nothing gets recorded. Any idea why that might be happening?

[@ScootersGroove0801]

Great tutorial and I mean that sincerely however it is hard to concentrate when I can't keep my eyes off of your beauty. Thank you for explaining this straightforward.

[@ParkerCharlesGabriel]

How can I get my electric guitar (mic’d) to play / record in stereo ?

[@jdssurf]

I know this is cringe to some people but its lame not to pay you a compliment you might like, but you are very pretty. Anyways, Im going to try this later, Im upgrading to Suite soon, and planned on getting a guitar plugin, but lots of ppl are saying you can do quality guitar on Suite, do you agree?

[@christopherburnett1745]

I see that you aren't using any of the amp sims on Ableton to record electric guitar. It's that because you were wanting a cleaner tone? If I'm wanting to use a bit of overdrive, is it helpful to use an amp sim, or will it sound fine without? Thanks!

[@dariocoral]

Even for a clean tone, always use an amp sim that typically has a good clean tone. You still want the guitar to be processed through the electronics and speaker simulation of the amp sim. Can be a Fender or even a Marshall (if the gain is dialed back). Play around with the settings to get an overdriven tone. Plugging in directly without an amp sim will give you the pure sound of the strings. The goal is to have it sound like it’s going through an amp and speaker.

[@johnrefe]

I still don't understand how it is possible to get any sound coming from this program. I literaly have 0 output options in Ableton

[@briannemckenzie9733]

If I don't use headphones, I can barely hear my recording - is that normal? I also don't have those little lines that pop up on the recording.

[@nabilabughoush9981]

so im basically having the same problem right now. did you manage to figure it out?

[@ajimnazirul4178]

omg i followed all the step and still not working send me help plsssss :

[@girlfriend4597]

i cant even hear my guitar when i turn monitoring on
