questions should be answered as a means of good customer service and a way to support your product and show appreciation for those who spend thousands with you individually. just a thought. great work on this new innovation.

Is there a way to have two computers on ablelton live that are linked go to the same spot on the timeline? We want to run tracks from on a stage but the audio interface is the the back so we need to have them share the timeline.

[zachlillemoen]

do you need ableton live for this to work? I have ableton 10 live lite and I can't see it

When I enable and disable the link on the iPad it changes the number of links in Ableton, so the connection is there. But it's not controlling any instruments, I set the monitor to In.

My PC and iPad are on the same network, however my PC is connected via an ethernet cable and my iPad uses WiFi. Link does not work with this setup, while other network apps work without any issues.

[jhannes]

is it possible to do that without an audio interface?

[blairbrennan]

Helpful. Thank you.
Which ipad app is that?

How would this be accomplished with an iPad Pro? What cable should be used? iPad Pro has a USB-C cable, but I haven't been able to find a USB-C to dual 1/4" stereo cable, which is I *think* is the cable that appears in this video?
PS: Ableton, it would be good to know what sort of cable you're using, even if you just write it in the description. You folks might think that item would be obvious to your viewers, but I haven't found one in a few attempts looking for it.

[carolinabrun]

what cable did you use to connect the ipad to the focusrite?

Has anyone actually managed to record without any delay issues?

I recently started using Ableton 11 standard. I’m not sure if this will effect the way pattern will work with Ableton

[michelfillion]

only getting audio signal? I have a hard time getting some midi information from iOS apps... any help?

[DanielHilldrup]

not working. followed to the letter. i know its meant to be a clean plug and play affair but there is no documentation when your setup is different [ipad/usb c] and it is not receiving any input on play when monitor is set to in.

[pierrehuyghe]

I Did everything like in that video but I have latency in the audio output of my iPad. What's wrong?

[tranquiltones]

This feature seemingly does not work with the older version of Patterning. Am I doing something wrong? Ableton Link turned on in app. Link clicked on in Ableton & I'm getting no sync between session & iOS device.

Is it possible to use iPad Pro 2018 without jack socket?

[zydnamode]

Is it just me or does it just sync audio? Id doesnt seem like Link captures any audio via wifi connection. From my understanding, you still need all the bells and whistles to record said audio. Cause if I use my phone with my laptop, Abelton doesnt get any audio from my phone. If anyone can help me understand, otherwise it seems a little useless rn.

[Nathan-mxzx]

So do I use an audio jack to an audio interface (scarlet focus rite solo) to connect a iPad (pro 2020)?

[BossManProductions-]

I figured it out enough to work but I’m not certain if it’s 100%correct
