Re: Cue/Master Volume Knob. Why?

There could definitely be a setting to swap the shift functionality here.

Why is there no "Lock MIDI notes" button?

The "Lock envelopes" button is very useful, but I don't understand why there isn't a corresponding "Lock MIDI notes" button, so that you could record automation on top of existing clips without replacing with new clips.

Re: Change colour of arrangement locators

Sure, I've done that, but that track won't stick to the top of the screen like the markers do. I've actually requested an optional "structure" track before that would do this; it would let you make (sort of) dummy clips that, if clicked, would select everything beneath them, so that struct...

Change colour of arrangement locators

The title basically says it all. It would be nice to be able to use colour coding of the locators to indicate eg. "chorus", "verse", "drop" (or whatever the cool kids call it these days), "takeoff", "bridge", etc., since the actual names of the locat...

Push 2: why doesn't a track stay armed in Session Mode?

I depend quite a bit on the feature that arms a track by selecting it, but it's always bugged me, through both Push 1 and 2, that if I switch to Session Mode, I have to "hard arm" the track in order to record to a new clip slot. Is there really no setting to change this behaviour, and what...

Re: Stop saving the preset project

This would typically happen if you have a script running or a device in your set that changes a parameter by itself. If you have a look at edit>undo and see that you can undo something, that's what's happening.

Re: More collection colors?

How many here find themselves thinking "Oooh, I fancy me some blue on this one!"? Personally, I find the whole colour debate kind of besides the point. All I want are more categories, the colours themselves do virtually nothing to help me. I just use the collections as shortcuts to my favo...

Re: USB hubs and controllers

Yeah, I've always used powered ports (and successfully with previous computers). I would assume that the hub on my Dell monitor is powered, but I had the same problem with my new (powered) USB-C hub. I've connected the Keystation via an old Belkin hub for now, and it seems to be working fine there.

Re: USB hubs and controllers

Cheers. Yeah, I know that connecting via a hub is never recommended, and weird stuff can happen. I connected my Keystation Mini through my Dell monitor's hub, Windows detected it fine, with the right name and all, but Live did not see it at all. I then plugged it into a different hub, where Windows ...

USB hubs and controllers

So I've got a new computer, and it has fewer USB ports than my previous one, so I've tried connecting various gear through hubs instead, but it's a mixed bag. Some controllers can be detected fine by Windows, but not recognised in Live. Some hubs (all powered ones) work, while others don't. So I'm w...

You can also ask support@ableton.com if the magic trick doesn't work for you.
Sure, but that wouldn't give me the satisfaction of doing something that feels slightly naughty. Or slightly magic. :P

But thanks, the magic trick worked :wink:
