However, there's a limitation with that setup: You're running both programs on the same computer.
Professionals know it's risky to do so.
It's always best to keep programs on dedicated machines, each handling separate tasks.
If you're ready to adopt the "Pro" approach to controlling LightKey with Ableton, read on.

You mention using light key on a separate computer, but you never explain why…… Can you tell me why I can’t run them both on one Mac?
