Decided I'd post up my APC40 Ableton template, might be a starting point for someone
1-4 = Main decks
5-8 = FX / Sample Decks
8 "One Knob" FX on each channel.
Gain / Bass visible on all channels.
Independent Volume all channels.
Scene stop/play disabled.
Stop all clips disabled.
EQ's are set on 4 return tracks so channels 1/5 are effected by the same return channel, this is ideal if you use the 5-8 as Sample / FX as levels remain exactly the same.
Gain is -15db / +3db
EQ's do NOT kill, I have them set to about -20db to +10dbs around
Master output has Compressor / Limiter / Dynamics.
Each channel is set to -3db's
To get the quantizing working I needed to use "Midistroke" and set the grid to use either cmd+9 for channel 5-8 or cmd+0 for channels 1-4
Credit to M-lovers for some of the rack effects.
Oh and my reasoning for disabling the stop all/rec/play is I kept hitting them by accident = NOT GOOD !
