Re: Make notes throughout a long clip


In case the annotations feature gets implemented, there could be a section in the left side pane dedicated for it like it is for "Instruments" or within "Current project". It could be a list of all annotations in the project.
M4L is the right tool for this. It would be relatively easy to ...

Re: Make notes throughout a long clip

You can use project locators and navigate a clip through arrangement rather than clip timeline. Locators can have notes too. And the ease of navigation can be a reason to split audio clip, same for midi clips, but they can also benefit from multiclip editing. You can put time-aligned dummy clips on ...

Re: Hotkey/option to show the plugin window OF THE SELECTED TRACK


Hey Ableton Team, this is a dealbreaker for me.
I planned to move my workflow from Cubase Pro to Ableton Suite, but I don't want to grab my mouse each time to open the plugin window. My right arm already hurts because of constant clicking.

Switching to a trackball can really help with arm strain ...

Re: Add one VST plugin

Afaik no. It's already as fast as it can be without real complete rescan (alt+rescan button). In new versions a rescan is non-blocking, you can keep working until a plugin is available. You can use some vst subhost if you experiment with plugins and don't need them to be scanned into live

Re: What am I missing..? BPM


This ask will only pop up if the fresh of store tempo is different that the dj set tempo that I set in the upper left corner.. correct?

Likely so. Just click "yes" any time you want to re-warp it.

Here's a video of what I described above. The expected bpm is imprecise (142.01) to demonstrate ...

Re: What am I missing..? BPM


OMG I Just saw this.. thank you so very much and I am sorry if I came across rough..

I will make time to do this later.
But last night I was trying to figure out why one of my tracks was wobbly in the middle and after googling saw that I needed to uncheck "warp long tracks".. I do club music ...

Re: How do you get around the lack of linked midi clips/patterns?

The lack of them is a major pain. The only option I'm aware of is https://jgarcia.hungry.jp/project/alias-clips/ and it looks like a good investment, it's still supported all over the years

You can make this easier by using loops instead of clip duplication where possible. There's already multiclip ...

Re: What am I missing..? BPM

You need to prepare the tracks first in an empty project. I wonder if this can be improved, it always confused me that bpm of an unwarped clip cannot be edited manually.


Drag track file to audio track from the browser
Unwarp a track if it's already warped (it's so by default, can be changed in ...

Re: Start/Stop Behaviour

There are different play modes with Space, Shift+Space, Ctrl+Space. Could be the same for a controller if it supports them

Prevent Novation Launchkey and Launchpad from resetting play position

Here's a way to disable the default behaviour of Novation LaunchPad/LaunchKey play button that doesn't respect a cursor and plays a song from the start, as this seems to be almost never desirable. Then Play and Shift+Play behave similarly to Space and Shift+Space. The fix is applied on the next Live ...

Re: Ableton Live 12 Windows 11 notebook hardware recommendations

Everything you listed totally depends on the needs, I'd say. Minimum ram is 16, but again, depends, 32 makes more sense. Same for CPU, if you need low noise, take a look at low-power ones (<65w), check the benchmarks for specific CPUs you consider. Display quality and max brightness is a thing to ...

Well, what you're asking for is according to me, a wonderful concept, and I've been working on different iterations around this idea, for years....
