Problem no.1

I use :

Mac (i-7, quad, 8gigs of memory)

Serato:

Rane sl-2
Rane ttm 54-i Mixer

Ableton Live:

Profire 610 (M-audio)
routed through the Send/Return

It still doesn't make the effects sound quite right

I would like to know what are the configurations in ableton (or/and serato)
To make this setup work?

Also,

When I Play synced tracks in Serato, they stutter in ableton... Weird s**t..!

Please let me know

Hi in-digo,

Thank you for all your hardware specs, however i need a few more details on what you are trying to do.

What do you mean by "It still doesn't make the effects sound quite right"? What effects are you talking about?

Have you considered upgrading to 2.4.1 in Scratch Live? This could potentially help.

Cheers

Hey Scott S )))
Thank you for your reply.

I'm trying to wire Ableton effects through serato... so when I tweak ableton effects they will affect the serato sound...

I have Serato. 2.4.1 and ableton 8.3 so thats not the version problem.

As I understand the Rane mixers have send fx and return fx,

so I make a circle from My ttm54-i SEND FX into INPUT on my M-Audio (regular quarter inch cables)
and OUT from M-Audio into RETURN...

Everything must work, but it doesn't...

However when I route a 3 party plug-in (Korg Kaoss Pad) independently with SERATO the setup does respond and everything works!

So the problem is not in the SEND/RETURNS

So I think it's some sort of Ableton glitch...

OR

Another thought that crossed my mind is :

It might work only with Older Rane Mixer models that have FLEX FX button... mine doesn't...

SO please let me know how to solve it

Also, tried today again to sync the ableton track with Serato Turntable, and it stutters on one spot.

Thanx)

If you send a channel of the mixer via the FX send into an Ableton track and record that, does it come through cleanly?

The problem with syncing means you don't have a beatgrid on the track you're trying to sync to, you need to either rebuild overviews for all your files (which will add the grids now you have the Bridge enabled) or add them manually.
