Re: Live 12 won't launch

Hey, can anyone confirm if my Mac will work with Ableton Live 12 — or where I can check if it will? I've googled a bit and cannot find any clear answers: My specs are as follows: OSX 10.15.7 — (I know that I will have to upgrade to Big Sur, at least) iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) 3.8 GHz 8-Core In...

Why does the LFO 1 for Filter only go to 24?

I find this perplexing — why doesn't the LFO 1 for Filter Freq only go to 24 — and not the full range of the filters range? Equally, why is the Amount parameter on LFOs 2 and 3 not mappable to a macro? Basically, I want to create a macro for a multi-instrument that will control the full range of an ...

Re: How to fix the performance issue with 11.3?

Yes, I've tried restting Live. I've also resetting M4L, and installed the latest verion of M4L.

No, the problem is not with a VST, as far as I can tell. The performance issue still happens with sets that have almost nothing in them.

How to fix the performance issue with 11.3?

I'm sick of basic projects showing the rainbow wheel. On some tracks, its at the point that adding a new Audio or MIDI track is a 5-10 second wait! (weirdly, more CPU heavy / VST heavy tracks are not doing this badly) My computer is reasonably spec'd: iMac 5K, 27-inch, 2020 3.8GHz 8-core intel i7 64...

Re: Is it safe to reorganise my VST folder into subfolders?

Yeah, I think given this, and ChatGPTs warnings — I will just leave things alone.

A pity — cause I really want to make my VSTs easier to navigate and be organised!

Re: Is it safe to reorganise my VST folder into subfolders?

Yes with VST2, kinda pointless with VST3 and AU since their parent folders don't show up like VST2. Ah, OK, cool. Even that would be an improvment! Also, this is what ChatGPT had to say on the matter: 'It is generally not recommended to reorganize the VST plug-in folder in Ableton or any other digi...

Is it safe to reorganise my VST folder into subfolders?

I want to organise my VST folder into subcategories (reverbs, delays, synths etc), so it is faster to find what I'm looking for. Is it safe to do so? Also, can this be done with AU/Components and VST3? I'm on Mac OSX, and in a test with a non-critical VST, when I created a folder and copied it in, i...

Re: Help! I think I've messed up my latency settings!

I'm using a Novation Audiohub 2x4 soundcard.

Is there a correct setting I should return my settings to?

Help! I think I've messed up my latency settings!

I was trying to resolve an issue with latency with recording hardware into Live this afternoon, and I was adjusting the Buffer Size, and Driver Error Compensation. I thought I had returned everything back to normal, but now I am having an issue where the audio from Kontakt seem to be out out of sync...

Audio delay when recording hardware from Digitone

This is the first time I've tried recording synced audio from my Digitone into Live, so please bear with me. I'm sending Transport and Clock from Ableton to the DT. All good. When I run the audio direct from my DT to my monitors it is in sync with Ableton. But, when I record the audio from my Digito...

Yes, Pottering that was it – once I enabled Remote in the MIDI Ports, it worked!

Thank you!

Re: Maschine MK3 wont show as Control Surface in Live 11

Thanks, I followed those instructions and installed the new MIDI scripts of Live 11 — but still couldnt get the MK3 to map to MIDI.

Here are my settings, do I need to change something else?

Maschine MK3 wont show as Control Surface in Live 11

I'm trying to set up my Maschine MK3 as a MIDI controller for Live 11 — just so I can have some extra knobs to turn. BUT...Maschine MK3 is NOT showing up as an available Control Surface in the drop down menu in the MIDI preferences in Live. Yes, I have copied over the MIDI control scripts into the L...

Re: Chain Selector not working

Well, I finally got it to work! The trick was in making the ranges larger: https://i.ibb.co/6FsvStY/Screen-Shot-2021-07-05-at-6-21-08-pm.png It is still quite fiddly/buggy – depending on the rotation of the Macro, I still get silence at some points, and you just have to nudge the knob one unit to ge...
