    Fl still has the greatest piano roll. Almost had a migraine trying to figure abeltons piano roll. That's why I use both

      Been using FL for *years* making music just using the DAW and when they stopped letting you put waveforms in for the version I have I realized I had to adapt. Got a Focusrite with Ableton for Christmas and been digging more into recording in general and learning that FL studio has the best piano roll overall has been so disappointing.

    is there a way to move notes always horizontally without they going up or down accidentally?
    I know you can simply select and hold click and move they with the mouse horizontally, but sometimes I just want to move them earlier or put them later and not move the pitch, and I always end up making a mess moving them up or down

    It helped a bit, but I'm still trying to figure out a shortcut to scroll back and forth in the piano roll. Once all the notes have played, I'm stuck at the end and have to use a workaround to get back to the beginning without using the loop to get me there.

    Hlw sam, got a problem i couldnt fix for few months now inside my ableton, when i press & hold a note using my midi keyboard it plays as long as i hold it, but when i do the same in the piano roll, i see there's latency while pressing a note/drawing it with mouse & if i press on a note with my mouse, it doesnt keep playing as it should rather it plays once with latency. Idk how to fix this and its really bothering me. Can u pls help?

  • @ModernPlague
    @ModernPlague Před 2 lety

    Cool video! I'm trying to decide between Ableton Live and FL Studio---I don't play any instruments, but I want to use a MIDI keyboard + sequence programming (along with found sound samples recorded with a Tascam digital recorder) to compose, and I'm not sure if Live or FL is best for that. Any thoughts?

    • @samsmyers
      @samsmyers  Před 2 lety +1

      I don't have any experience with FL studio, but I know that Ableton's sampling algorithm (time stretching, manipulating) is really great, and I used to use Logic but switched to Ableton because of it.

    great video and i am watching it to get familiar. I am confused when you say hold down the command key. What key is this? I am trying to select different velocities on a note like you mentioned and then you say hold the command key when you click the note to move the velocity up or down. ? edit: i seen another comment when you mention you are using a MAC. I see then why you say command key. I wonder what the alternative is for a PC

    Sam , is it possible in ableton to give all the pitches another color? I've done this in cubase for 20 years and by now can 'read' the colors as notes easily. Looking for another DAW that has this option
