How To Enable Input on Ableton Live
Ableton Live is software that allows users to create their own music. If you have a compatible MIDI controller or keyboard you can use this as an input in Ableton Live. This is very useful for creating music as it allows you to use a MIDI keyboard rather than use the built-in keyboard. This gives you more control over the sound. Likewise, you can control the effects with control knobs that gradually and carefully maneuver onscreen dials, rather than use a mouse. Once you have enabled the input once, you will not need to enable it again --- you'll be able to just connect it and use it.
