So I just got into music and got Live 9 Intro. I want to setup my Alesis v25 in Ableton Live 9 so I can hit some keys and play some sounds. So when I hit pad one to play my first audio clip it plays. Then I want to play my second audio clip while the first one is playing how do I do that? Also is there like a preset EDM project file that I could experiment using my MIDI controller with?
I got everything from guitar center and someone there said I would also need a "AudioBox USB PreSonus" to use with my MIDI controller and I was like ok so I got it now at home I am thinking why do I need it If I wont plug anything into it. My MIDI controller is usb so it doesn't need a MIDI interface. Should I return it?
Please move my post to the proper section I'm new to this forum.

1.) You intend to use/record a mic, physical instrument, or a MIDI controller with a 5-pin DIN
2.) A dedicated interface will often provide recordings superior to the sound card on your computer -- assuming no bugaboos
As far as using your Alesis v25 with Live...

So should I return it if I am not doing lots of recording just yet. I never intend to use a mic or a physical instrument.telecharge wrote:First, it's the Guitar Center guy's job to upsell you.

Only you can decide that, my friend. I don't know what the money means to you. Maybe record some with and without it and decide if it's worth it to you?lhzav wrote: So should I return it if I am not doing lots of recording just yet. I never intend to use a mic or a physical instrument.
