AbletonLive Lite question - sample editor?

cas

A quick question...hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I'm kneedeep in a mix and i'd like to be able to eq tracks, but ableton tells me that I have no sampler editor chosen. It's the lite version and I can only use the built in EQ "effects" on 2 tracks during the session. Is there an outside program out there that I can use to eq the samples(tracks)?Peace to the holmeses for helping a SGT. Slaughter out.I truly appreciate it. This mix is mega-important.THANKS!

any wave editor shold work. you on mac? pc? i use soundforge. ableton should recognize that as a working audio editor. pm if you can't find something to download.

thanks brian.
to the google toolbar!



gb- i'm pushing a mac on 22's, but i'm saving the sounds as mp3's vs. .wavs. don't ask why...i know no better. i guess a wav editor can freak mp3s too?



thanks for the help out, yall.

some can, some require plug ins. just depends. hopefully you'll have luck with audacity and everything will be all good. good luck!

Once you get a wav editor (I use audition) there is a spot in the prefrences to tell ableton what you're using.

just downloaded audacity. i'll work with it tonight and try to learn it. looks like adjusting the eq isn't as easy as turning up a bass nob and turning down the treble.

what's the benefit of saving files as a wav vs. mp3? just easier to manage/edit? i'm trying to step up my digital recording game.

i appreciate the help.

cas

my bad. i'm saving them as aiff files.

DAAAAAAROOOOOOO!!!
