how about some actual change?

this thread's been around for 8 months

8 months. This is getting ridiculous...

Twenty years ago, two things were true.
My eyes were younger and not as sensitive to brightness, and the dynamic range of monitors was not as wide as it is today. So pure white wasn't as bright as it is now.


Not only is the white glaring, but the font is very small, with the result that there's ...

🤔

Dark Mode
An actual link to it on the Ableton site so we get some fresh blood here.
The ability to upvote helpful posts
The ability to hide annoying users
Image hosting
A modern frame work that works better on mobile devices.
Some actual interaction from Ableton employees.

To be honest I haven ...

Ouch!

My eyes burn while trying to read the topics as everything on my system is Dark, even Ableton.
Help.

+1

Plus the text is TINY!

I second that emotion

None of the new functionality in 2.1 is in the online Push manual. Kind of a miss there.


I find the manual a miss in general. Even when updated there feels like there's loads left out. It doesn't go into any detail of each instrument's implementation on Push compared to Live, for example ...

Thanks for the update. See you next month

Hey Tarekith, how about now? Any updates?

I'm sitting on a Push 1 & a Push 2 that I could sell, but keep putting it off because they might be usable with Push 3 in the future. Meanwhile, they're just sitting on a shelf & no one is getting to use them.

Ableton are working on a solution for this key commands issue, just passing on the info. Stay tuned, they've heard us.

Thank you Tarekith

+1000 With all the changes to ingrained/muscle memory shortcuts people have been using for 10+ years - CORRECT INFORMATION IS REQUIRED.

On the other hand, with so many changes in this regard, it would be a bigger task to ensure all the pages of the manual that reference older stuff is updated ...

I seriously do not recall the manual being so far behind release as this one is?

Nor do I, and I've been using Live since version 1.

I would very much like the option to disable comping.

A pdf manual is essential.

Live 12 brought some GUI improvements that I have been wanting for a LONG time:

Being able to see both Clips AND Devices at the same time.

Mixer in Arrangement view.

Ability to move & reposition Returns (now if we could only put them anywhere we wanted)

These alone have me smiling.
