sliding the audio within a clip length

 I saw this on a FL Studio video & immediately had to look up how to do it in Ableton.
So -

Take a slice of a long sample, lets say 4 bars.

Now, holding CTRL & SHIFT, left-click drag on the wave form and you can slide the audio about!

opz synth export samples

 not really about ableton, but opz synth sample exporting is shit, so here's how you do it I've been fine exporting at C3... but do what you need to. Sample must be mono, 16bit and 6 seconds long. AIFF format. Fill it with silence if need be, otherwise you get sample bleed from other stuff. Seems easier to do the exporting from something like Audacity? So far that's worked best This youtube vid is very useful. He mentions an online tool, but the original author seems to have moved on from the OP-Z, and isn't maintaining it anymore - so it might not exist when you read this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu1IEC9C7oc

controlling pattern changes with Octatrack, to Digitakt

To get Digitakt to receive Pattern change from the Octatrack, make sure your auto-channel value is set to the same number on both devices. Leave the auto stuff on "auto", it seems to work as you'd expect with that on. Haven't managed to get it to work using the standard midi-message sends yet though... Digitakt seems more ready "out of the box" to send pattern changes as the boss.

Recording from external synths, loop tips

To avoid latency, use the External Hardware Instrument device. Drag it onto a midi track. Generally, record the audio to a seperate audio-track, then disable the midi once you're done. Preferably record pre-fx, so you get a nice dry-signal. A loop note/trick -When the loop first starts, any reverb/echo will not be present. This can be weird, so it's worth recording an extra measure to use . Eg if your loop is 4 bars. Record 5 bars. Ableton can be configured to start at bar 1, but use bars 2-5 for looping. This way you get both a natural start and a natural loop.
