How can I get Ableton 9 to load without audio interface, which is away for repair.

[djrickdawson]

I do not use dodgy wares...

[William Gibson]

You lyin to me, smalls?

ran into a similar problem A while back. (I blew my onboard soundcard and my controller/soundcard was still on location)
you can install VBAudio + Asiobridge (both free) and In combination With Jack Audio System you have everything you need (I still use it as some manual version of Rewire (the mixtrack pro is my controller in the screenshot

the voicepro thingy is a software mixer (midi controllable) so un nessecary but with jack & catia you can route jour audio to anywhere you like (even nowhere) without ableton realizing , its persistent for every app you want it to be

in ableton u must use Jack router(configured with asio portaudio) , butin tracktor can use jack system itself

If I was at home running Ableton through USB audio soundcard and then I brought my laptop to work or whatever, just using the onboard sound, Ableton would hang for a while, before it would open.

Have you left it for a while, without getting impatient with it?

[Synchronix]

This might be a silly question.. but what would you do with Ableton and no audio interface?

[ImNoDJ]

Sounds like a cracked copy of Live.

Thats just a silly and ignorant accusation.

Unless you can prove there is some Live DRM that somehow affects soundcard selection in a cracked version.

[William Gibson]

It is ABSOLUTELY NOT a silly OR ignorant accusation because I have seen things like this with my own eyes on cracked copies of live. Many MANY times.

P.S., why would I waste my time trying to prove something like this? All I simply asked the dude is if it was cracked. I get no money from Ableton. I could give 2 squirts of piss if he uses a cracked copy. I asked because I have seen cracked copies act like this. No other reason...

Youre just wrong mate. I realise you have seen it and are trying to be helpful, but its just a coincidence. It happens all the time in computer troubleshooting if you dont nail down the variables.

There is no DRM in Live that affects soundcard selection. There just isnt.

[William Gibson]

I feel as if you think i'm saying he definitely has a cracked copy of live if he is having this problem. Is that what you think i'm saying?


I dont know how I can be "wrong" by simply asking a question. A question isn't wrong or right...

I never said this. I feel like your reading into what I said way to much.

Lol, it was a simple question. Is it cracked. Because I have seen cracked copies do weird shit. nothing more.

You might want to read what you actually said to the OP. You made a statement, you didnt ask a question.

You first said that 'it sounds like a cracked copy of Live', and then you said 'are you lying to me'

You very clearly asserted the OP was using a crack.

You just jumped the gun on this one.
