If your wondering the key of an audio sample just do a midi slice and it'll place it in the right key. So simple as so many forward samples to musicians to find it out.

really?!

will defo try this later...

Dayumn, how didn't I know this? Is this in 7? Woo!

Actually, much faster is to right click the frozen track and chose flatten track

This has been around since v6 if I remeber correctly.

But you lose midi and vst information that way

Your right but you would be amazed at how many ableton users do not know about the freeze option.

can you explain how this midi slice to find the pitch thing works please? i'm trying it, but it just puts the sample into a new drum rack...

Yeah, never heard of that either. Share more.

I think he might be referring to the sampler and putting a sample in and changing the key in the sampler.. Not sure either though..

That would be because they never used a really slow computer...

yeah it'll put it into a rack with all all slices but go to the clip overview part and not the instrument rack. it'll have all your slices laid out, click fold and the keys will appear.

should be right, i'll have to go back in again and make sure when I get home.

that's just mapping samples to keys, not actually finding the original pitch.

Hahaha.. Right... It took me like a year after using ableton to use this feature cause i was routing the midi to audio by mouse.. Oh well.. Got any more good ableton tips... I always love watching others produce and arrange cause I learn little things everytime..

man i wouldn't call it so impressive because the thing is that when u freeze a track what u actually do is converting the midi file to a wave file.that's why when u freeze it u cannot change the notes or something.ableton actually makes it a wav file and saves it.so when u move it into an audio track ableton just shows u the file.the file did already exist actually u just didn't see it like a wav.


i am not a native english speaker so i hope u understand what i am saying


thing is that when u freeze the midi track it's supposed u make it a wav.until u put it in the audio track u don't see it like a wav

So I'm a little slow.. But i found this to be very handy.. When your in the arrangement view and you working over thirty 2 bars.. Set the flag markers and actually connect the markers to your key board midi. i.e. the number row is great for markers set throughout the arrangement.. Makes my life a whole lot easier.. now instead of hitting the space bar over and over and mousing around to your location.. do the markers instead....hope this makes sense..

WOW

So I press number 1....it corresponds with the marker?



WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

How do you connect...right click and there'll be options that say something to the effect of "Link to number row"?

EDIT: I can see myself going overboard with this.....having maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad markers. Or maybe that's the point...

Nah... you make the markers, then press Ctrl+K (keyboard) or Ctrl+M (midi), press the markers, press the key you want ond that's it.

It helped me a lot. I used to take the freeze files that were created in the songs folder... but then I would unfreeze their tracks and they would disappear, ha ha ha. Messy.
