Hummm... I am not sure that the problem is entirely a cultural one here. There are several points: 1. It is often difficult to hear Martin Delaney, because the music is too loud while he is talking. 2. Particularly at the beginning of the tutorial (lessons 1-60), Martin seems to mumble... as if almost sick or something. I think it has to do with the recording. 3. The music is down right annoying... very bad choice of music, even for a tutorial. 4. The lessons are too short... I spent a lot of time just watching the lessons start and then end. Overall, the content is good. It is a good intro to Ableton Live. But there are definitely some problems there. But hey, that's just my opinion. I understand your point. [quote:86183]I am sure the Delaney dilemma is a cultural one. Being English I found his dry wit and calmness very refreshing compared to the other instructors here. Their over-enthusiastic didactics really put me off and I can only view one chapter at a time. Nice one Delaney![/quote]

[quote:Martin]Have you guys seen this?[/quote] I am watching it right now... it's quite good. Will there ever be more advanced videos like the ones for Logic and Pro Tools?

[quote:Martin] Yeah ... Bill's an amazing educator ... Live with Live will be out before the end of August. I can't wait ... :) We're putting a renewed focus on Live training. In the year ahead it's going to look a lot more like our Logic training for quality and content.[/quote] That's great news! I think there are a lot of things to learn in Live. From Simpler to Sampler, and Operator. But also stuff like what DJ Gustavo Bravetti does. (Go check his Ableton Live demo videos on YouTube... pretty interesting stuff!) What's "Live with Live"? On which video is that covered by Bill Burgess? I know that what I am waiting for is definitely Max for Live. I am a programmer and I followed a short course on Max/MSP. So I am pretty exited about that.

[quote:JohnG]Live with Live is an upcoming tutorial, its not yet released.[/quote] Where is this tutorial mentioned exactly? I can't find any trace of that? That should be interesting. Cheers.

[quote:JohnG] If you blink your ears you will miss it. Listen to the new Live 8 tutorial at lesson 96: "Follow Actions" at the 40 seconds mark for the reference to Live with Live. [/quote] Wow. You are right. I did miss that. You really have to pay attention. Thanks!

Your best bet would be to contact support with this. I never heard of a problem like that before. Maybe scan your computer for viruses as well! :(

It could be a lot of things. Maybe if you open a ticket with Ableton Live, they can pin point the problem with you? Good luck. [quote:44659]Hi Moob, How ya doin? Thanks for the advice. I just scanned my computer for viruses, but Ableton is still shutting down. Actually, I can't believe this, my Battery 3 just shut down the same way! My gosh, is it my MacBook? Thanks.

Live does not support Surround mixing.

[quote:mr south]i've started on albleton ( basic question ) i've lost all the sounds that ableton come, one minute they was there and next minute they was gone. sos help!LOL [/quote] Ableton support would be your best bet for something so... bizarre.

[quote:51381]Thanks for the kind words. This was my first full course for MacProVideo, so I'm happy to hear it's being well received. I'm working furiously on finishing the KOMPLETE course, which I hope will be even better![/quote] I must say that so far, the Komplete tutorial IS better than the Kore one. Not that the Kore tutorial wasn't good. It was great. But the Komplete tutorial is awesome (even if it isn't complete yet). There are some great tips in there. It makes me wish for more. A full tutorial on Reaktor would be great. (hint)
