Hi there,

Ableton Link is an awesome tool for syncing iOS apps to each other, and to Ableton Live, over Wi-Fi. MusicTech.net has a separate, in-depth tutorial covering this aspect of Link’s capabilities. You might want to include audio from your iOS app in your Live productions. Preparing Ableton Live for Recording Vocals. Step 1 Connect Your Microphone to Ableton Live. For those using a condenser mic: Connect your microphones XLR cable to an audio interface input. Step 2 Setup Live’s Preferences. Step 3 Set Your Songs Tempo. Step 4 Enable the Metronome.

Ableton makes Push and Live, hardware and software for music production, creation and performance. Ableton´s products are made to inspire creative music-making. Dec 17, 2012  How can I record the audio from Youtube into a DAW This may sound like a real noobie question but I am one! I've been listening to some stuff on youtube, sound effects, ambient type stuff and would like to just record it straight into a track, is this at all possible or would I need to record in from laptop into a hardware recorder then then. By the end of your recording session, you will have many different takes for editing. Keeping them in large chunks may make your job harder. One way to manage them easier is to chop them into different parts. Split audio clips in Ableton Live with the shortcut CMD+E Mac or CTRL+E PC. You can also consolidate parts with CMD+J Mac or CTRL+J. If you want to record into Session View, there are two methods: Click the Session Record button (next to New) to start recording. Click it again to go back into playback. You can click the Record button in a Clip Slot to start recording. To stop playback and prepare for a new take, press the New button.


I'm a guitar player, I need to create videos and post them on youtube. I have Ableton Live 8 on Mac, I intend to purchase a video camera these days. The idea is to improvise on a playback and record video and audio at the same time.
Is it possible on Live 8 to record the video (with video camera) and the music at the same time?
I've already seen on tutorials how easy it is to import video file on the arrangement session but in my context I need to record the video on Ableton.

Or do I need to use Final Cut or something like that?

The M-Audio M-Track MKII is a powerful 2 channel interface that gives you access to instant plug & play recording on your computer. This guide walks through how to make sure that your M-Track MKII is set up properly on your system as well as how to get started recording audio tracks with the included Ableton Live Lite software.

Connecting the M-Track MKII and Confirming the Driver Installation

Connect the M-Track MKII to your computer via USB. The M-Track MKII is a class compliant device, which means it requires no download or installation of special drivers that are not already found on your computer. On a Windows PC, a dialog will open in the bottom right hand corner of your screen indicating that the driver is automatically installing. When it is done it will indicate that your device is installed and ready to use. You will not see this on a Mac, however the drivers are still installed automatically.

Although the M-Track MKII is a class-compliant device, there are is a low-latency driver available for Windows that may improve the performance of the unit. The driver is available for download from the Drivers & Updates page on the M-Audio webiste.

Properly Adjusting your System's Sound Settings
Windows

The M-Track MKII should now be ready to use on your computer, but in some cases it may be necessary to tweak your system's sound settings. While this will more than likely not be required, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with how the device is setup with your PC or Mac.

Audio
  1. On a PC, click on the Start Menu, and choose Control Panel. From the Control Panel, choose Hardware and Sound and/or Sound. You should now see your playback devices.

    As pictured above, the M-Track MKII should be set as your default playback device. If not, right click it and choose Set as Default Device. This should be reflected under the Recording tab as well.


  2. With the M-Track MKII highlighted in the recording devices tab, click on the Properties button. This will bring up a new set of options. Click the Levels tab. In Windows 7 you will need to adjust the recording level. It will default to 100 but you will need to drag the slider down until it is set at 4. You will not have to make this adjustment in Windows Vista.
  3. Click OK and you should be all set.

Mac

Ableton Audio Driver

On a Mac you can access your sound settings from the System Preferences. You should not have to change any settings. Your input and output should look as pictured below.

Getting Started With Ableton Live Lite by Recording an Audio Track

Open up Ableton Live Lite. If you need help installing or authorizing your software, please refer to Ableton's handy guide.

  1. Once Ableton is open go to Options > Preferences. On a Mac this will be Live > Preferences.
  2. In the Preferences window, click on the Audio tab. For the Driver Type, select MME/Direct X and then the M-Track MKII as your Audio Input and Audio Output devices. On a Mac you will choose CoreAudio instead of MME/Direct X.
    Alternatively, if you have chosen to use the additional M-Track ASIO driver for windows, select ASIO for Driver Type and select M-Track ASIO as your Audio Device.
    You can now exit out of this window.
  3. Go to View and select In/Out. This will bring up the input and output options of any audio tracks you've created.
  4. On your audio track, set your Audio From to Ext. In and set the input to be either input 1, 2, or 1 & 2 (if you have a stereo signal plugged into both inputs of the M-Track II). Clicking on the Record Ready button will arm the track and enable you to monitor your incoming audio.
  5. At the top of the screen, pressing Record and then Play will begin your recording!
