Craig, you are now my go-to guy to learn how to use Ableton Live Lite. I'm an experienced musician, but have not ever used a midi keyboard and daw before. I stopped looking at other instructional videos because they were all a disappointment. Thank you!!

Craig, thank you so much for all the value you bring with this video man! This is insanely helpful. Quick question for you: I am getting signal on Ableton from the MIDI keyboard, but I can only play one single note at a time. Have you ever encountered this issue? Thank you so much Craig!

@pushpatterns 3 месяца назад

Hey thank you for your kind words and glad this video helps! Let’s see if I can help :) do you mean when you try playing chords, you only hear one note?

@diemsoul 2 месяца назад

@@pushpatterns That is correct, Craig!

@pushpatterns 2 месяца назад

My first though is the you have a mono sound setting on instrument your are trying to control. How you tried other presets or try a piano sound.

@Marsovicmusic Месяц назад

Hi Craig, awesome content from you, friend. I have an issue with multiple controllers. When ever i play a track in Traktor using Xone K2 controller, a pad on Ableton Push2 illuminances in red color... blinking in the rhythm of the track. I have tried everything i can think of, all of the midi channels are set correctly, preferences in ableton also set correctly. It is only and always associated with a deck C in traktor. Mac book pro Traktor pro 3 Ableton 11 Os monterey. I appreciate your answer in advance, cheers mate.

@pushpatterns Месяц назад

The red colour pad indicates that it’s recording a new clip. I think you may have a midi mapped note on the mmmmm May of in Live. Have you checked your midi mappings?

Have you check the MIDI settings? are track and remote selected on the input?

@XxlildramaxX 3 месяца назад

Ableton live is telling me theres 4 variants of Minilab 3. Is it ok to just have my input and outpout set to minilab 3 or should I use the other variants?

@pushpatterns 3 месяца назад

Yeah, it all the available ports. They might be handy for different parts of the controller in the future.

Thank you for your video. I have a Alesis Q mini and I followed your instructions but I am still unable to hear any sound from the keyboard. I hope you can help.

@pushpatterns 4 месяца назад

Hey thanks for watching! Have you double check all your midi settings? Track on the midi in need to be selected. Load an instrument on to a midi track, make sure you record enable the track and it should work. Let me know how you get on

Can i connect an electric piano to the focusrite scarlett solo "instrument input" and use the "grand piano sample" from ableton program? Thanks.

@pushpatterns 3 месяца назад

Unfortunaly not, this in put is for recording the audio output of instrument only. What you are trying to do requires a MIDI connection. This can be down over USB if your electric piano has a USB out?

@@pushpatterns thank you very much, that's what I thought.

Only the right half of my Yamaha P-71 keyboard works, any idea why? Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!!!

@pushpatterns 3 месяца назад

I think the midi output would have been split. So the midi channel output is maybe different for different parts of your keys, see if there is anything in the manual :)

@valeriemoran6289 3 месяца назад

@@pushpatterns Thank you for the reply :) I looked into it further and noticed that it does make sound, just reallllllly quiet low notes (everything below middle C = barely audible/too low a frequency for most humans to hear?). I changed the preset from "wavetable" to something else and immediately heard sound from all keys. I'm using an 88 key Yamaha P-71 if anyone encounters the same issue.

@valeriemoran6289 3 месяца назад

@@pushpatterns On another note, would you happen to know why I can't get Ableton Live 12 to recognize my mic? It's a Shure SM58, connected through my DAI which is an Mbox Pro. It's like there's no audio input either, nothing is metered on the channel it's plugged into even when tapping and talking into the mic.
