Does turning core isolation off make the computer vulnerable to viruses? I had the same problem with my X3 Live not being recognised by my PC, turning the core isolation off worked as recommended above. My question is, should I turn the isolation back on now? Or will that stop the drivers from working? Also, I noticed on the Line6 software downloads page, that Windows 11 (what I'm running) isn't listed in the drop-down menu. I went for Windows 10, maybe that has something to do with the drivers not working? Edit: I can't turn the isolation back on. I guess I would have to uninstall the Line6 drivers to be able to do so.

Running two USB cables into Ableton simultaneously seems to work fine: I connected the X3 Live to Ableton via USB as usual and also connected a synth to record MIDI via a separate USB cable (with a Midiman). Now the only problem is that I've run out of space on my desk to fit everything!

I am in the same boat. I found this in another thread: "The X3 midi interface is not a full midi implementation. It does not recognize or pass THRU the note on/off commands that are critical for recording midi sequences. So you can't record midi sequences form your keyboard using your X3." I want to use my synth with Ableton Live to record MIDI tracks but I don't think it's possible with the X3 Live. I thought I could connect the MIDI OUT from my synth to the X3 Live and then use the USB connection from the X3 Live to my laptop running Ableton. I think instead I will have to connect my synth to my Midiman USB controller and then connect that directly to my laptop / Ableton. I haven't had much luck with that either though! I also wonder if Ableton is able to manage multiple USB inputs so that I will be able to use my synth and X3 Live at the same time.

Thanks for your help. I'll go through the section of the manual you noted. I can't at the moment seem to get anything out of channels 3/4, it's just 5/6 in ableton that have anything coming in, 3 and 4 are silent (and 1 and 2 are my laptop's own microphone). I've got the asio driver which I can access through ableton and it recognises and labels the x3 live as you'd expect, next to my laptop's sound card. (However Ableton just has the inputs labeled as numbers, not 'USB' followed by a number as you describe). I set the inputs in the x3 as guitar for tone 1 and aux for tone 2, still the mic and guitar both come through together in inputs 5 and 6 in ableton. The quick fix I did was to hard pan both tones in the x3 output settings, that makes it possible to record the guitar and mic into separate audio tracks in ableton. I must be doing something dumb, I'll keep at it.

I'm using a microphone plugged into the aux port of my X3 live (well actually the mic goes in via a mixer to help with gain) and my guitar plugged in via the guitar-in as normal. I've connected the x3 to my laptop via usb. I read the guide about separating tracks ("set one track's input as 1/2 the other as 3/4"). However it seems no matter which combination of track inputs I select, both the guitar and vocals (microphone) are being recorded in both tracks - they are not separated. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
