Ableton Live 8.1.3

 

      Q:  When I open Ableton Live 8.1.3 it gives a message saying "Cannot load Module Reverb"?. I am running on Windows 7.

A: The modules are created automatically when you open the Syntheway VST instruments. 

Well, depending on the installation of your Windows Vista or Windows 7, it has a high degree of security and that is the problem.  

Windows Vista and Seven won’t let Ableton Live 8.1.3 (or any other VST player program) automatically create the subdirectory and write to anything in :\Program Files or \Program Files (x86). ONLY the Administrator can write there.

Now, even if your user is in the Administrator group and considered as an Administrator, that USER does not have direct permission to write to that directory. If you run Ableton Live, as ADMINISTRATOR (right click, run-as), the directories are created and everything works fine. 

Just clicking on Ableton to start it, runs Ableton with the USER security.

 

 

Q: I'm using Ableton Live on PC and I'm unable to see where to change the presets. Where can I find it?

A: Watch this simple video demonstration to learn how see preset bank box in Ableton Live to change Magnus Choir presets

Q: How I locate the VST plug-in using Ableton Live?

A: You must put the Syntheway main files: *.dll and *.dat (if required) into Ableton Live VST Plug-ins Folder. Please go to the "Preferences" and be sure you have selected the correct Path for your VST Plug-in Folder.

Ableton Live is about making music; for composition, songwriting, recording, production, remixing and live performance. Live's nonlinear, intuitive flow, alongside powerful real-time editing and flexible performance options, make it a unique studio tool and a favorite with live performers. If you'd rather be "making music" than just "using music software," Ableton Live is for you. Live 8, the latest version, includes a wealth of new techniques and improvements with a new groove engine, revamped warping, live looping, new effects, crossfades in the Arrangement View and a reworked MIDI editor.

imageSession View
Live is the only music production software with the "Session View": a unique grid for recording and playing musical ideas and phrases. The Session View is non-linear, so you can record and play back your ideas in any order you want. When you're working on a new track, this is a smart, flexible way to write and record. If you're performing music live, it gives you complete flexibility and freedom to improvise.

imageArrangement View
Live also has a second view: the "Arrangement View," a complete music production environment. This is the linear counterpart to the Session View and is well-suited to "traditional" recording, arranging and mixing. These two views interact with one another, each with its own strengths and intricacies. Both views are based on the single principle of creative, intuitive music-making.

imageUninterrupted creative flow
In Live, you never have to stop the music. Record audio and MIDI on the fly, drop in loops and samples, add effects and swap sounds without ever hitting the stop button: everything happens in real time. You're free to improvise and the computer actually becomes a musical instrument—an expressive and creative tool, perfectly at home on stage or in the studio.

imageBeats made easy
Live's unique Drum Rack combines drag-and-drop simplicity in a familiar pad-style interface. Each of the 128 drum pads can have its own instrument or sample plus effects. Slice beats, loops or REX files to MIDI for additional control options and use the new groove feature (which includes grooves from the legendary MPC and SP1200 machines) to add swing to your beats.

imageCreative expression for DJs
Mix and match tracks and loops automatically, remix on the fly, capture audio loops in real time from decks and other external sources, incorporate your own productions into the mix, and much more. Whether it's the centerpiece of the DJ rig or just a creative sidearm, Live gives DJs entirely new worlds of creative expression.

imageLooping with Live
Not only for guitarists, the Ableton Looper gives you classic sound-on-sound looping without the limitations of a hardware device. Looper is set up for remote operation, so you can record, overdub, undo and more without touching the computer.

imageTotally compatible
Live works seamlessly with controller hardware and assigning custom MIDI controls is simple. Live supports AIFF, WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files, VST and AU effects and instruments. Live can handle REX files and runs as a ReWire Master or Slave, so it works nicely alongside other DAWs like Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase or Reason. And if you have a multicore or multiprocessor system, Live supports that, too.
