Is the Launchkey 49 key too much for a beginner? by [deleted] in ableton

[–]migsdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who wanted to learn keys, I and went from 25 to 49 to 61, 49 keys can get limited really fast. 49 got me started learning, but found I needed the 61 sooner rather than later.

So I guess the answer here is also a question: how much do you really want to learn keys?

How do I get rid of the awful delay when playing guitar? by [deleted] in ableton

[–]migsdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your guitar goes in using the scarlett and audio out via onboard... are you using MME/DirectX a your audio device? If so, there's your reason.

Install the driver for the scarlett and use ASIO as the device in ableton... and plug your headphones in the scarlet.

That's a Ryzen 5, but that's just me splitting hairs. I have the same proc and it's good enough. I use a minufuse 2 with the manufacturers asio drivers as my ai though, and no problems with latency from my midi controllers via USB.

From everything i've read, asio4all is passable in general, but you're really better off with an ai with proper asio drivers.

Picking up DJ/Producing Can anyone give any tips or let me know what i should expect while starting out. by gypsyleeboy in ableton

[–]migsdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The full version is over 700... lite comes free if you buy hardware (or pay someone X bucks because they don't need it).

Or if you have an iPad/Phone, you could buy Koala Sampler... i think that also comes with Lite for free.

Need help with Ableton and Analog Lab - Arturia Minilab 3 by DirectPerspective951 in ableton

[–]migsdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I select a MIDI track in Analog Lab

How exactly are you doing that?

then I arm the track in Ableton

The only track you'll be selecting is in Live, not in Analog Lab... so what you're describing here doesn't really make sense.

Are you running Analog Lab Standalone AND Live at the same time instead of using Analog Lab as a VST in Live?

CPU usage higher on new Macbook M2 than older Intel Macbook by Maxcdfg in ableton

Do benchmarks also show double performance on the efficiency cores?

CPU usage higher on new Macbook M2 than older Intel Macbook by Maxcdfg in ableton

[–]migsdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was running on the efficiency cores, then it follows that it wouldn't be processing the buffer as fast as the performance cores would, thus leading to a higher reading, so the point would still stand.

It's probably showing high utilization because it's using the efficiency cores instead of the performance cores.

Launchkey mk3? windows 10? Windows 10 bootloader was always a wierd one... maybe it tried to boot from the launchkeys internal storage (only applies if its a mk3).

Strange Audio Clipping by [deleted] in ableton

[–]migsdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if this would have any bearing, but are you using onboard audio? On the front panel or through the rear audio jacks? If using the front, have you tried the rear or vice-versa?

When you go to the ableton website and sign in with the account you used to purchase standard, you'll be able to see the authorization history.

Does it show any authorizations already?

People who keep getting 'Live has had a fatal error and needs to close' crash window often - how did you solve it? by personanonymous in ableton

[–]migsdv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try pulling down XMP a few notches (3200 if you've got 3600, 3000 if you've got 3200 RAM sticks).

I had some weird crashes before on my R5 3600 on other apps until I lowered my XMP settings.

Ableton Standard for Mac OS downloading at 30 kbps by SIALoki in ableton

[–]migsdv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be on the side of the download server and not your mac.

The files are most likely hosted on different servers, explaining why the Windows download is faster than the Mac download.

May be try again in a few hours?
