Hi, brand new to Ableset and I have a couple questions. First, it isn’t recognizing my first song which starts at 0. I clicked the button to add a song, but when I type the name in, I hit enter, and it doesn’t appear. How do I make it actually show up?
Hi @halstep, welcome to the forum!
AbleSet determines songs based on locators in the Ableton Live timeline.
To make the first song appear:
- Place a Locator at the start of the timeline.
- Name that locator with the song name.
- Make sure the song also has a SONG END locator at the end of the song.
Once those locators are in place, the song should show up in AbleSet.
This is explained in more detail here.
Hope that helps!
Okay, I will look at it again tonight. When I get home but I was having lots of issues, I have markers at the beginning of every song in my setlist. But it starts with number 2 ableset and I wasn’t able to change it. But I have more questions, so I want to get this done first
I have a marker at the start and end of song 1 and it still starts with song 2. There is a song at the end named 1. I think this is where I tried to add the first song. I need to get this working..can you help, please?
Hey @halstep, please excuse the late response!
There’s a little caveat where locator names aren’t allowed to consist of just numbers. Could you try naming your locators something different, like “Song 1” and “Song 2” instead and check if they appear in AbleSet as expected?
I’m looking forward to your reply!
