![]() Simply make sure Automation Mode isn’t enabled by pressing A and hover over the clip. It also happens to be my favorite Ableton Live tip □ You can see the layout of the keyboard, and how it mimics a real keyboard.įades have always been one of Live’s strong points, allowing an easy way to clean up the start and end of audio clips. ![]() With this Ableton Live tip, Press M on your computer keyboard and suddenly, A to L on your keyboard become playable, with the same layout of keys. If you don’t use an external MIDI keyboard controller, then you still have an option if you’re wanting to play notes in.

If you want to continue playback from the last stopped point, simply hold Shift + Spacebar instead. But you may also have noticed that it begins from the same spot every time you toggle between Play and Stop. You might have guessed that pressing Spacebar is the shortcut for Play and Stop. Here you can set the quantization size, the amount of quantization (having less than 100% can maintain a ‘human feel’) and whether you want the start and end of notes to snap or not. If you need to get specific, press Shift + Cmd + U or Shift + Ctrl + U to bring up the settings, pictured above. Simply press Cmd + U on Mac or Ctrl + U on Windows to quantize your notes. Set the same value to the device.Whether you’re drawing or playing in notes, sometimes you need to tidy up the timing of certain notes, so that they play ‘on the grid. ![]() You can find below your sample clip the corresponding global latency of your current Live set (circled in red on the screenshot above). Arm the audio track for recording and press record in the scene.įinally, stop the record, double click on the record sample and position the mouse on the transient marker (it there are not any or it is not well-positioned at the beginning of the signal, then record again or position your mouse manually (right-click, fixed grid OFF and click on the beginning of the signal)). Then, get your external hardware ready to play a signal, launch the MIDI looped sequence and press the space bar to stop. Set the MIDI output to your external hardware and the audio input from your external hardware. You can also recreate the example below in your current live set. I didn’t find a way to calculate it automatically so you have to do it manually (if anyone knows a way to calculate the global latency automatically please contact me at I created a suggest in Ableton Centercode: L1).įirst, drag and drop the group located in the "How to measure global latency” project to your current Live set (each global latency depends on your buffer size and current live set devices, please refer to ). How to calculate the global latency of your Live set: Attention, sometimes the first delay signature is too short and/or the global latency is too high to be able to conform with the compensation delay time. Then you can add any delay effect and it will be synchronized with your Live set tempo. For example, if you set 1/16 as first delay signature and you entered the right global latency value, then the signal coming from your audio track will be a 1/16 note delayed. Then it subtracts the global latency of your Live set to be synchronized. You set the first delay signature and it calculates its corresponding time (in ms) according to your Live set current tempo. The dry signal of my hardware synth is monitored by my sound card, not by Live (to avoid audible latency). The way I use it: in my Live set, I take my hardware synth as audio input in an audio track to creates delay effects. The device applies a delay, so your external signal is synchronized with your Live set tempo. /Only useful if you do not sequence your synth/hardware with Ableton Live and External instrument device./// Device Details Device Overview Name/Version:
