19 years later, this has helped a poor soul. The warp/pitch/match bpm trick is a life saver for ambient beds. THANK YOU!!!

No, that doesn't really help because I have third-party packs (e.g., Samples from Mars), and those presets now also appear under 'User,' which is correct in one sense, but I really want to see my presets.

Thanks for the info. That is useful to know and I've noted this down. I'm sorry that it's ...

BTW this is still broken. About one out of every five loads of Live it shows the Plug-Ins. Every other time I have to rescan from preferences.

I'm using the most current version 0.25

This only happened after the latest update. I've been using it continuously without a single problem before that.

Folder permission hasn't changed please see above as nothing has changed on my computer except this failure.

I have not yet contacted ...

So due to the disappearing VSTs. Every set/song that has a single VST (which is everything I've ever done in Live) opens with an error and missing VST(s). I have to "Rescan" and then drag the VST back into the track to work. Then it will be gone the next time I open it.

I just don't understand why ...

I completely wiped the program, removed every bit, ran CCleaner and manually removed any remnants. Re-download and re-installed.

Everything seems fine... but then...

I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT, BUT IF I "SAVE LIVE SET AS A DEFAULT SET" THEN IT LOSES ALL PLUGINS EVERY TIME THE APP STARTS UP.

This ...

So I rebuilt my custom default template with the the four VSTs I use and saved it and exited, and started getting the error upon startup. And Plug-ins is empty until I scan again.

Not using any custom folder, just the VST3 system folder.

I can actually see my VSTs load for a just a split second ...

Seems to be behaving now... Fingers Crossed!

I FOUND A WORKAROUND, sort of...

So apparently if I have a VST2 folder in C:\Program Files\Common Files and I have that selected as a custom VST2 folder in preferences, then Live has a fit and refuses to see ANY of my VSTs until I rescan after starting the program. THIS MUST BE A BUG!

If I check ...

This started happening after the last update. I have changed nothing...

When I start Live my Default template loads. It should have EZDrummer 3, Serum, Spire and Ample Hellrazer (VST3 versions) in their own tracks. They load up on the board, but I get messages at the bottom that non of them can be ...

FIXED!!!
I updated to the most recent version (11.3.25) and then reset Live

The reset also removed the second "port 2" version of the APC Key 25 device.

Sadly you cannot remap the rotary knobs (or anything ...

I also have the APC Key 25 mini, and was having the same problem.

I discovered that you have to be very careful with the MIDI settings in Ableton in order for the manual MIDI mapping to work as expected. Specifically, you must enable (check) the Remote column for "In: APC_Key_24_mk2 Input". It ...

This is easy to do, and it doesn't require extra-long notes or strange rack configurations ... Just a few bars of one note and the loop set so it cuts off the note-end.

I'm away from a computer, so from memory:

Make a note that starts at 1.0.0, set the note end at 4.0.0
Set the clip start ...

I have a copy of Ableton Live Lite that I used to upgrade to Suite, and that works fine. I also have (multiple) Live Lite licenses that came with various pieces of gear. However when I add those licenses to my account via the website they do not show up under "View Serial Numbers" I have registered ...
