Basic Midi Map in Ableton Live

[Blakemichigan]

the actual assigning isnt working... its plugged in, ive selected midi, and the mpd32 is set to LiveLite. I have no idea why this is not working, because it looks like it is normal. the bottom even says "press a midi key or move a midi controller to assign..."

[junktownvendors]

Hi, for some reason when i assign multiple midi files to different pads on my axiom (in abletone live 8) they all start playing at the same time. I mean, i have one midi file that is one track using a particular vst instrument, and another midi file on a seperate track/ vst instrument, and each is assigned to a different pad on the asiom keyboard. but, when i touch one of the pads, both files start playing. Do you know what the problem might be? thanks alot

[baldmanwithBIGlegs]

haha! love 'wwwhooo' fade with the camera

[CalisCool]

Chill as fuck...

[kevinbrewerATX]

the only way you can play tech/dubstep music live is by bobbing your head to the beat so you look like a tool, its wrong i know, but thats what you do

[razavision420]

Is it possible to configure for breath control? I play saxophone and have an Akai EWI USB. Thanks

[guru942]

stop getting all emotional over a beat i can make in only 5 minutes :d

[guru942]

@guru942 without the equipment 

[overtext]

thanks for the vid. cool creation

[zacharybellman]

Nice chilled beats

[CalvinMcCaskill]

Sounds good, buddy! Thanks for the little pointers.

[RainK9]

how big is that screen?

[tremulent]

This is fly. I hope you are still writing

[djgeeter]

really cool man, I liked it, and now hopefully I have learned how to midi map now as well.

[Haarlie]

Would have been more impressive if the sound went directly to youtube rather than thru the mic

[djseriousbizness]

Citizen Green hahaha...that's fresh!

[fabs1289]

hey man, how do u like the uc33e?

[Flipjunkie1]

i wish you would have run your audio different because this sounds like it might be cool but from where i'm at it sounds like that baseline just doesn't match at all ! Good stuff though man !

[Domination53]

sick beat bra ;D

[lighttree2012]

I love the tune bro. Just got a Axiom 25 and Ableton live #8.? super pumped to get started. Back in the day on Protools I hated midi shit .That was like 1996, a lot has changed!!!!!! It was all about analog. Thank you for your time bro.Keep it up!

[NugLoc]

HEY i am using ableton and i tried assigining a knob the way you said but after i go into map mode and turn a controller then go back, nothing happens!!?!?!?

[ChompTrax]

@NugLoc make sure that your controller is selected in your MIDI preferences.

[NugLoc]

@ChompTrax and what if it is?

[ChompTrax]

@NugLoc if your midi controller is selected in the preferences and you have both the input and output turned "on", then it should work.

[1nf1n171]

i see your muller on the desk

[dandyrecord]

hey do you know how a motif rack or any rack work with ableton live

[OnlyPartiallyHere]

You are what being creative is all about. Enjoy and forget the rest. Criticizers are usually nothing more than earless knobtweakers with miniscule creative juice. Keep it up and have fun.

[joshiarts]

greatings from mexico

[fstball4110]

Respect.

[LuK4s1993]

would it be possible to let one of the uc33 faders act as an crossfader in a mix ?

maybe even as a pitch fader ?

thanks for your help ;)

sry for my bad english ^^

[TheClarc]

@LuK4s1993 Hy,

Yes you cand assign your faders to crossfader or pitch fader, or anything you want.

[jazzyrocka12]

TYPING IN ALL CAPS FOR ATTENTION

Can you do a tutorial on how to map your faders to multiple channels like you've done? (let me clarify because I"m awful at communicating ideas). How do I have my faders shift from channels 1-8 to 9-16? I can't seem to be able to get that to work.

[hungryhippoedwin2]

@jazzyrocka12 @jazzyrocka12 Hey maybe you can achieve this by creating two separate programs on the UC33, Program01[P01] can control Faders 1-8 and Program2[P02] can control Faders 9-16. You can change the CC# on each fader to keep things a liittle more organized and also configure them to the same MIDI Channel. You have the program buttons on the UC for fast access to each bank.

Hope this helps!

[supreme60s]

I like your music. Twentysek is a hating twat. typing in all caps just to get your attention lol

[Pejorativez]

I have two working midi controllers attached to my laptop, but neither will register midi mappings. How do i fix this?

[japanluv]

Hi.May I ask one question Mrcuss?I am trying to use Korg Kontrol 49 with Ableton Live,I ve tried the MIDI mapping but when I assign anything to keys for example like a piano or even wave sounds,theres a few seconds gap( between the time I pressed the keys and the time I hear the sound coming out.I ve done all the settings as it should be. Im using a Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop with AMD Sempron,2.10 GHZ,3GB RAM,Vista Service Pack 1,32 bit operating system,NO external sound card yet .Thank you

[hungryhippoedwin2]

@japanluv Its probably not a midi issue but an audio issue.

There might be a lag between the time the computer receives the MIDI Data and the time it sends the audio.

Go to Audio Preferences and play with the Buffer size (i think default is 512samples)

You can lower the buffer size little by little til you hear no latency. Try not to lower it too much thogh cause it might but a bigger strain on your CPU.

[japanluv]

@hungryhippoedwin2 thank you for your answer.I am new to these things,though I m watching a lot of videos about it.Whats your favourite DAW?Im trying to decide which one to use...

[hungryhippoedwin2]

@japanluv I would suggest looking at the pros and cons of each daw before buying one. Maybe try the demo versions of some you"re interested in and go from there... see which one catches you attention most. I personally use ableton for everything, simply because its so versatile and i like the fact that you can use it as a performance tool as well.

[hungryhippoedwin2]

@japanluv If you're interested in seeng what ableton does, i have a small vdeo of an ableton performance. feel free to check it out.

[japanluv]

@hungryhippoedwin2 I appreciate your answers.Thank you .I'll have a look now...

[djamorpheus]

great music, love ambient stuff like this

[MattyMC99]

I have an Oxygen8. Every time a click on an item to map and move one of my 8 knobs it sets the Note/Control to "CC6" and all 8 knobs do the same thing. Any idea what I am doing wrong? (great track btw)

[MoofrynnRazzlerott]

[ChompTrax]

any chance of seeing a vid of how to use dBlue Glitch in Ableton?

[MoofrynnRazzlerott]

there is a good chance of me making a vid utilizing the dBlue Glitch plug in! Expect to see a new post early next week.

[Logicfray]

its easy to use, but also easy to overuse and ABUSE!

[20tree]

how did you assign the axiom to clips ?

or do you use your mouse to select them ?

[antiropos]

only a uc33 cant be enough.

[MoofrynnRazzlerott]

You'd be surprised at what you can accomplish playing with that MIDI toy! I'd love to have rackmount devices and giant 64 channel mixboard though! XD

[theedman]

Very helpful indeedy, and dam good music aswell, love your style man

[dejayclon3r]

Now a day ...apc40 came along!! nice tune man ..express yourself to music that is the good way of producing..

[siggiLICIOUS]

[carveawoodeneye]

[anthony9541]

YEA YEA.....

[flujotech]

[morganeg01]

hey man i just got an akai MPD 24 and when i try mapping it to ableton live nothing happens.... any ideas?...

ps. keep up the good work.. maybe we'll see you at shambhala some day.

[MoofrynnRazzlerott]

First make sure the latest version of the drivers for the MPD 24 are installed on your computer. Turn device on then start ableton. Next - go to the midi config menu under preferences and select mpd24 from the drop down list of midi control surfaces. Assuming this is your primary controller select USB Audio Device as your input and output. If you have multiple controllers Youll have to toggle down to USB Audio Device (2), (3), and so on.

[hchesed7]

Awesome man! You should check out Dub_ocracy fest in atl at 595 North. You should be playing it.

[Smatchimo]

does the foam behind your monitors really help? i want to start sound proofing my room but dont know where to start. always wondered if that helped having sections of it.

[MoofrynnRazzlerott]

Even though these are only 5" monitors (ported in the rear) the foam in that area helps cut down on reverb in my room a good bit and slightly smooths out my low bass signals.

[Smatchimo]

awesome track btw, never got to hear this with sound lol. i dig the trip hop idm thing you have goin.

[glowingmuffin]

dude i have the same controller as you

but i have issues assigning my knobs

when i click on one of the macro control and twist nothing happens so i am just stuck changing the macro control stuff with my mouse

[MoofrynnRazzlerott]

The Axiom works in Automap mode, or Free mode with Ableton Live. If you switch the controller to programs 18, 19, or 20 - the controls will map themselves to certain controls in Live. (See my older video for directions on this) If you want to freely map the controls on the axiom use programs 1-17 and open the midi map editor and start assigning!!

[djmassimos]

compliments guy!

[aggeles]

nice vid! i enjoyed seeing the live interactivity between instrument and performer. this really encourages me to try it on my own. looking forward to the next one citizen green.
