#Appendix 1

I'm going to include a lot of information here just in case you ever need it. This is basically a person who doesn't know how to use ableton(or any other DAW)'s guide to using ableton.

Things that you'll experience at this step:

1. Trouble installing the audiobox driver and having to update the firmware.
   Google can help with this... some.

2. Annoying latency issues

Maybe it's just me, but when I'm trying to put a song together I usually go one riff at a time and that means having to slide tracks around so they align correctly.

Stay in hamburger mode in Ableton and this will help, but under Options > Preferences > Audio (where you would have already been to select the AudioBox ASIO Driver) you can adjust the latency so it's a little bit closer, or offset enough that it's easy to move based on your scaling. You'll still have to move it though.

3. I can't hear myself and it's not recording.

This could be an input output issue, check under Options > Preferences and make sure things look right there.

On the right side of the window where stuff is, mess around with this stuff until some combination works: select auto, change the combobox selection to 1 or 2, change the other combo to master, click the rectangle with the dot in it so it turns red - indicating that that's the track you're recording on.
