I'd be grateful for any feedback on why my Ableton Live 8 (8.0.4) appears differently to the Irish tutor doing the tutorials (doing How to make Progressive House). I'm using a Windows PC, and he's obviously using a Mac. I have the following problems:</P><P>Simpler: The tutor will drop in a Simpler Instrument to a Midi track. He simply selects 'Simpler' from the list of Instruments and drops it onto the Midi Track in the Session View. However, when I try and do this I get the warning symbol come up as I'm simply selecting the 'Simpler' folder and not the generic instrument itself, and I have to navigate through the sub-folders of the Simpler folder to get a Simpler Instrument I can use, e.g. the ones in 'Drums' and 'Piano and Keys' folders. So I use the 'Keys-Acoustic Piano.adv' instrument because I have no generic 'Simpler' one.</P><P>Compression: I have the same problem with the Compression Audio Effect. For example, the tutor simply drags and drops to the Drums Group of midi tracks the generic 'Compressor' effect. But like Simpler, I can't do this as 'Compressor' is a folder name, not an actual compressor. Thus I'm using the 'Generic Compressor.adv' effect instead.</P><P>The same issue applies to Reverb, I have to select a particular type of Reverb, I can't just use the generic 'Reverb' effect, as it's a folder name, not an actual effect.</P><P>Are these things due to differences in the way Ableton is set up between PC and Mac or is there some other setting to apply?</P><P>Recording Midi: In Tutorial 10 (Pad Sweep) of the 'How to make Progressive House' tutorials, I follow the steps in recording all my Midi tracks (plus the PRG Cm Pad) to the 12th Midi Track to create a new pad sweep (3 minutes into the video) but I get no Audio signal to this 12 Midi Track and when I arm the track, and hit the global record button, I get a new clip appearing but no midi is recorded. Why is this?! This means I can't then edit and copy the clip, changing the envelopes or pitch bend, because I have no Midi part. I've checked all my mixer settings and they seem the same as the tutors. What am I doing wrong?</P><P>Any (friendly please!) help gratefully received.</P><P>Cheers</P><P>BenoirSun, 04 Jul 2010 09:53:48 GMTbenoirhttp://forums.sonicacademy.com/Topic27928-12-1.aspxim a beginner of ableton live. in the lesson of making the progressive house in ableton live in the module seven how did you get the polyphony sylenth? do i need to download seperately <br>thanks<br>chitMon, 26 Jul 2010 09:18:48 GMTchithttp://forums.sonicacademy.com/Topic26780-12-1.aspxWell i have a wrong login name, can i change it?!<br><br>thanks in advanceTue, 20 Jul 2010 22:06:21 GMTJohnnyLabshttp://forums.sonicacademy.com/Topic700-12-1.aspxHere are a few FAQs and some Known issues.

On the subscription comparison page it seems to imply that quarterly subscribers can only stream the tutorials while yearly subscribers can download them... is this the case? For GBP 30 it's not a bad deal and I'd sign up right away, but GBP 100 is a pretty good investment for something I've never seen, and most of the time I'd be watching the videos would be while traveling away from Internet access.</P><P>Thx!</P><P>--JonSat, 03 Jul 2010 23:03:00 GMTJChttp://forums.sonicacademy.com/Topic25783-12-1.aspxHi!<br><br>I'm halfway through the "How To Make Progressive House in Logic" and it's a really great tutorial :), but when I try to start "Tutorial 13 - Arranging the intro", nothing happens.<br><br>A new window opens and I can see the playbutton animation and in the lower left corner it says: Getting data from s3.amasonawz.com…<br><br>All other tutorials work fine.
