How To Open Launchpad Project Files - 'Media Files Missing' SOLVED

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
  • When you’ve downloaded a Launchpad project file from RUclips, it’s possible to get a series of error messages that prevent you from using the project file how you intended to. These include ‘media files missing’, or can be the fact that the lights aren’t working in your light show.
    Either way, it’s very frustrating! In this video, I’m going to take you through exactly how to configure your Launchpad to get up and running with these projects.

When I load it I get the yellow box buffering then force closing, or from inside Ableton, I get error message saying it can’t open the file. The set doesn’t have any samples folder I noticed but people seem to be playing it fine on RUclips? Help please!

    Is this ALL still possible with ableton lite? I wan't to get the launchpad pro but i'm getting very conflicting opinions on whether you need to buy the full software or use the lite version that comes with the launchpad?

    • @TheAudioJourney
      @TheAudioJourney  6 лет назад

      Good question - the short answer is no. Live Lite has track and scene limitations (only 8 of each), and use plug ins that are only available in higher versions of Live. You can get a free trial of Suite on Ableton's website here: www.ableton.com/en/trial/

      The Launchpad S is great, it's an old one compared to the MKII though, which is why Novation don't sell the S anymore, but you may be able to find it online with a search. I would recommend the MKII.

    Hello! I am trying to work on the hello cover that you did in your tutorial, as the first launchpad cover ever, since I got the Launchpad yesterday. I am using Ableton Live 9 Lite, and working on a MKII. I am trying to connect lights, and make the audio work correctly. I followed your tutorial completely, and went back over to make sure I was right. I still have only one button that will make any kind of sound (and it isn't even the right track for the file) and no lights show up at all. What am I doing wrong?

    do u need the full version of ableton live 9 to use lights?

      Great question! You need a full version of Ableton to use some lights plug ins, so some project files you download will need a paid version, but Live Lite will allow you to make basic shows with just midi programming!

    Hei man, do you have any idea why my sounds have lag? They are not smooth, keep doping frames (if you know what I mean).And it's not only for a specific project file, it is a general thing, for all the songs...
    I would really appreciate your help!

      Sorry to hear it man! Try going to Option > Preferences > Audio > Raise the buffer size

    How exactly do you keep the samples again? Do you just put them in the project folder?

    • @TheAudioJourney

      You put the file in a folder on your computer which you can make in Documents and name 'Launchpad Projects', and then click 'Add folder' on the left of Ableton and select that folder in your documents, then open it from Ableton. Check out the video for more information.
