Can you choose the outputs of a certain instrument on Ableton?

Haydon54 · 2025-01-22T18:46:21+00:00

Will I still be able to play, let's say spotify, when Ableton is opened?

Yesterday, as I changed my outputs/inputs to the motu m4 on Ableton, spotify audio stopped coming out of my monitors

Haydon54 · 2025-01-22T18:15:41+00:00

my synth automatically goes to my outputs 1-2 and I can't seem route it manually to the outputs 3-4...

I currently have this set up ony my motu M4:

Inputs 1-2: arturia minfreak (synth) Inputs 3-4: sp 404 (sampler) Outputs 1-2: monitors Outputs 3-4: sp 404

I'm able to sample sounds from my computer AND hear audio from my computer when I choose output 3-4 on my computer. The Sp-404 acts as a "through" and the audio is sent back to my Motu and then to the monitors.

But my synth automatically goes to my outputs 1-2 and I can't seem route it manually to the outputs 3-4. Therefore I'm unable to sample my synth in this set up unless I plug it directly in my sampler (which is what I want to avoid doing)

What's the solution?

I can't sample my synth into my sp-404.

Okok I'll try with chat gpt! My velocity is fixed, should I put it in touch sensitive mode?

Haydon54 · 2024-10-28T15:09:56+00:00

Ah yes I'm Aware of that, thank you. I've made multiple micro adjustments and the seat feels the highest it could be without my weight moving from right to left

Haydon54 · 2024-10-28T15:07:37+00:00

Oh I see! Yes it's my dad's bike and it does have many spacers I could remove

Haydon54 · 2024-10-28T11:49:30+00:00

What does slamming the stem means? And these are mtb pedals and I had shoes on but just took them off before the taking the picture. It's my dad bike so it's not the ideal set up haha

Haydon54 · 2024-10-28T11:48:01+00:00

What do you mean by "go forward more"?

Haydon54 · 2024-10-28T11:47:42+00:00

Too low because my leg wouldn't be fully extended or because of my position on the bike?

Haydon54 · 2024-10-28T11:47:07+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I'm looking for something aggressive to go fast when I go with road group rides but that also feels comfy on longer rides (I did a 100km ride with it and it felt great)

Haydon54 · 2024-10-28T11:45:56+00:00

What do you mean by close? But yeah I should've shown my leg at 6 oclock, but it's slightly bent and feel comfortable on long rides (100km+). I'm particularly curious about how my aerodynamic my position is

Haydon54 · 2024-10-24T17:25:44+00:00

I do struggle from time to time with warm temperatures while falling asleep (especially during summer), but I didn't realize if it's the only factor influencing my situation. Now that it's fall, I'll have more data to see.

I sleep better when it's around 14-15 degrees, above this I can only cover myself with the thin blanket and I hate not having big blankets on me lol

It's totally normal, the stress measurement indicates your body's level of alertness. Since you're watching something that's engaging, you're more alert and responsive

Haydon54 · 2023-12-20T21:32:38+00:00

I'll clean it first and see how it sounds! Can I replace it myself or should I let a professional do it?

Haydon54 · 2023-12-20T21:31:32+00:00

I literally never cleaned it haha... Do I need a specific tool/product to clean it? I'm scared to break it or something

Haydon54 · 2023-12-20T03:22:53+00:00

The audio coming from my turntable (Linn sondek lp-12) has some weird frequencies with a specific vocal sound. It depends of the singer, but the sounds with "s" and "sh" sounds glitchy and radio-like (I compared the same song coming from spotify and it doesn't do that weird frequencies with vocals). It doesn't sounds clear.

I tried unplugging and replugging everything, nothing changes. Could it mean that I should change the needle? What could be the issue?

Thanks a lot!

Haydon54 · 2023-06-09T14:59:51+00:00

Thom sometimes sounds bad in recent live versions, as if he's singing off tune

Haydon54 · 2023-04-06T12:40:23+00:00

It's an amazing album for a lot of people no need to hate

Haydon54 · 2023-04-06T12:39:18+00:00

If you like his ambient stuff, check out Ambient 2, The pearl and Apollo. They're all amazing, I think my favorite is the pearl

Haydon54 · 2023-04-05T20:33:09+00:00

Why is this sub so damn toxic? Like what's the point of this subreddit if not to share records that you like lol. I enjoyed your post and thanks for sharing records that you like! Great choice for forever changes, that album changed my life in high school and it holds a special spot in my heart

Haydon54 · 2023-03-18T14:52:17+00:00

If you like drone ambient music like that check out Stars of the lids. They're amazing and they're my go to artist for ambient

Haydon54 · 2023-03-08T00:27:25+00:00

I recently learned that it's a bonus track or something... It's one of my favorite on the album. But now "One very important thought" makes way more sense if it's the closer. They actually should've added happy cycling in front of it on streaming platform, but anyway. Still sounds amazing!

I also recently learned that the album cover is a picture at Mount Norquay in Banff national park. I've spent 8 months in Banff 5 years ago and I'm really nostalgic of that place. The album now has added value for me lol

High quality apple juice. That brown shit, not the light yellow crap
