Check out the CMD MM-1.
Mapping in Ableton is fairly simple - you just enable the “MIDI Learn” button - click on the control on the screen - move the physical control on your hardware that you wish to assign - then disable “MIDI Learn” and test your new mapping.
Ya I understand that part, and I looked into that mixer, interesting, could you midi learn onto any mixer as well or are u saying this specifically for that CMD?
I’ve tried with MM-1. It’s not a mixer but it’s a nice controller and it’s also cheap that’s why I recommended it to you. Keep in mind that not all mixers out there are midi-mappable and that you’ll have to do some research before buying one.
Ok word ya thats what i was curious about. Im actually pretty intrigued by this MM-1 haha gonna maybe give it a try for how cheap it is. I would have to go get a sound card tho correct?
