I use MP3 files for video sound tracks. Does this Launchpad Ableton Live Controller include a recording software to save to MP3 formats files?

The launchpad comes bundled with a lite version of Ablton live, a premier audio processing and producing software. The laumchpad can access files you have saved but I am not completely sure if it can save in mp3 format. Here is ableton's site: https://www.ableton.com/en/live/

The lte software that comes with the controller does not but the full version of ableton live does. There are also other limited versions made for sound interfaces that will do that for you friend.

I am currently in the process of recording a collection of songs with this software. I believe that if you purchase Cubase Elements 7, you can export a finished song (as an MP3 file) as many times as you want. I hope this helps!

No software accompanies this controller. Most music software you buy these days is able to be controlled via MIDI by this device. It's a generic controller.

Not exactly how to function it, but to get started go to YouTube and look up "how to use Novation Launchpad. It comes with a beginners disc of ableton software that will give you tips on how to use the studio and midi controllers such as the launchpad. But other than knowing how to perform on it will come inside the box showing how to connect it.

Hi Ted, no I don't think so - but the loops you save on the sd card can easily be dragged into ableton (which is the one I use), if you record even with a metronome, it means that the loop lengths are all the same and easy to work with. There is an additional help download from line6 which tells you how to record and save individual layers so that everything syncs well.The alternative is something like the peavey vypyrs, even the bottom end ones have a pc out so you can use it as an interface with your guitar (they also bundle revalver with it, which is good quality software). Hope that helps - if not, ask again, I'm very happy to try and help.

Hi William. You use it to make music and control Ableton. You can use the pads to trigger samples, affect volume, change effects, pan, etc. The included software (when purchased new) gives you access to tons of sounds, samples, and music creation tools. It's a powerful little instrument.

Yes, the one i have saves the audio files in .wav format. This opens up fine with windows media player, I just tested it.

Yes, you have to have transcription software, but there is free software and so far all the ones I've used work just fine for mp3 files.

I'm hoping I can post links here. I haven't even opened my box yet, but this clip shows some settings you may want to check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg6EJ6JiLTM If my link has been removed, go to youtube. Search "novation launchkey 25 ableton live". It's about the 7th video down in the search results. There are Japanese characters in the description, but don't worry, the audio is in English. I hope something from those Youtube results can help you.

Unfortunately I have never used this feature, but I can offer some advice: rip the music into a 24-bit codec with the highest sample rate you can. (i.e, not MP3)

Not Ableton Live. Sonar. I don't use Sonar so I can't comment on it's quality. I used it for a moment and it seemed fine. Ableton is for live performance. You might try Reaper. It's free.

You can manually map any akai professional controller to almost any DAW, i use my lpd8 with both ableton, fl studio and traktor so i would assume it will work for you as well.

That is how I use it. You can opt to create a higher quality mp3 when you record if you need better quality. I like that flexibility.

I think you must to ask directly to the software house, I use the Cubase which licence is included.

I use the software that came with it but I researched this a lot before I bought it and found out that it is compatible with almost every dj software including virtual dj and there are a few videos on YouTube of people using the controller with virtual dj

The device on it's own doesn't really do anything other than control Ableton Live software (it ships with the Lite version but to do anything serious, you'll need to upgrade to the full version). At minimum you will need a suitable PC or Mac computer. Since it is a MIDI controller, you could use it to control MIDI on other devices, but that's not really what it's designed for. I'd recommend you spend some time reviewing Ableton Live software and then decide if this is the right control surface for your needs.
