My goal is to be able to write sheet music in Musescore and then have the audio output of the playback routed to Ableton Live.

JACK and Ableton settings

I've tried using loopMIDI audio and LoopBe1 as virtual midi cables.

I have the Jack audio driver set in Ableton's audio preferences under ASIO drivers. As seen in the photo, it seems that Ableton is recognizing the virtual midi cables as an input. I have Musescore's Jack audio settings enabled. I have a midi instrument set up in Ableton. However, when I play back audio in Musescore Ableton doesn't seem to be recognizing any input.

I was trying to follow along with this tutorial. However, they seemed to omit certain details. For example, as seen in my image I was only able to route general sound/midi devices together not specific [left1,right1] to another [in1,in2]

  • I don't know Musescore, but it sounds like your mixing up audio and midi. Midi is not audio - only a digital representation of what notes are played, but not how they should sound. Audio is a stream of samples... Does Musescore output Midi? – obiwanjacobi May 16 '21 at 15:03
  • What exactly do you mean output midi? Musescore certainly uses MIDI and it can export MIDI files? Additionally JACK support is a feature of Musescore. I'm not sure why this would be included if it couldn't output MIDI? – alderic_ivanka May 17 '21 at 17:23
  • Can you show us your input setting on the Ableton track you have the MIDI routing to? A couple of things I can think of: recording needs to be armed and you need to have the channel set to the correct MIDI channel. – Brad Aug 21 '22 at 17:48
