live & usb midi controller

I've got an o2 controller that works perfectly with reason. When I open Live, switch to midi map mode, click a slider or knob and wiggle a knob or hit a key on the keyboard, nothing happens. The midi-in LED lights up in the top right of Live, but it's not mapping it. Am I missing something?

You may have to go into the Live preferences in the Midi/sync pane and make sure that your external controller is "on" as a remote input. 

Also, if you are using Reason rewired to Live, you may actually have to turn off the external controller in the Reason preference pane to get it to work in Live.
