Hi guys,
I have a question, are all controllers compatible with Ableton Live? I have Live LE 7 and am interested in looking to buy a controller. What are some good cheap ones you can recommend? I'm not looking for anything crazy or big (physically).
I saw the Akai APC40 and it looked too big for me, so I guess I'm looking for something smaller/more compact and also cheaper.
Thanks in advance! :) |

| So far Ableton is only MIDI compliant. You can set up special instances of OSC dialog between those type of devices/controllers and Ableton but that usually requires Max/MSP hacking and some clever routing with your interface and computer. It's easier with a mac. |

So you're saying that I cannot play any of my mp3s using a controller? |

Nope, I didn't say that at all. Not sure how you got that from my comment. |

| i think he meant that you can play midis but not mp3s, since u only mentioned midis. i guess i'm not the only amateur around here...:p |

| If you have dough, the VCM600 is a nice choice. I'm very happy with mine. |

what JPlay said...that's what I meant.
I don't have that much money to spend on this to be honest. I'm actually looking to drop 250-350 tops.
so any more recommendations...?
thanks |

Still unsure what you mean as any MIDI controller is compatible with Ableton.
Either way there have been a great set of recommendations so far here. The UC-33e is one of the more popular ones among ALDJ's. I'd make a recommendation of the Novation Remote SL Zero...I think they have a newer version out but it's a great machine, no doubt. |
