Index holding folders and files hostage

Maybe this is a Windows issue, but I've always had the annoying problem of trying to move or delete a folder or file and for some reason the Index process is using it (scanning it? Indexing it?), usually for inordinately long periods of time so it won't let you move it. In Ableton 11 and previous ve...

Re: Push 3 Auto Arms tracks in Controller Mode (Unintended)

I figured out a solution where it won't disarm record on an audio track if you click on a midi track. Hit the preferences button on the Push (the little thing that looks like a spiky wheel) and under the "Status" tab there's an option for "Exclusive Arm". If you turn the knob rig...

Desperate Plea for a Shortcut Change

I wonder if Ableton would ever consider changing the Create Fade shortcut to Ctrl+F , like Pro Tools. For those of us who have to edit a ton of audio, using a 3-key shortcut becomes maddening eventually. Currently, Ctrl+F opens the search pane, which is probably used much less often than creating fa...

A New Quirk

I just installed 11.2.10 yesterday and now every time I open a project, it creates a "Ableton Folder Info" folder on my desktop. It's very annoying and a behaviour that wasn't happening previously. Any help would be appreciated.

we need a middle finger emoji Of course you do because that's how kids behave when they don't like what they hear The middle finger is for people who chime in with no solutions, just snarky, self-serving bullshit. If you don't have anything constructive to add other than "you should do things ...

A better solution than Symlinks would be helpful
Take the time to install things correctly so all your plugins are in a common folder. Makes everything much easier and no need for all this shortcut/symlink complexity.

Re: Live 11.1 on Windows 10 - VST issues?

It's inexplicable why they would take away 2 features that are intrinsically important to many of our workflow and setup, i.e. not letting us use the txt file that disables startup vst scan and taking away the ability to use shortcuts to additional vst folders. Was this really something they needed ...

Re: Stop gaslighting and fix your cpu issues

My CPU meter is constantly going crazy over there in the corner in Live 11 but the session itself is working great, no dropouts, no freezes, no clicks and pops, so I don't even pay attention to it. Why worry about the meter spazzing out if it's not affecting your work. Unless it is, then that's a pr...

Right-click the clip's named/coloured header (above the start/end/loop/groove etc controls) and you'll see the colours.
Thank you!

Am I crazy or dumb

I cannot find where to change midi note color in Live 11. I remember in 10 there was a little box on the left that you could click that showed all the color options, now I can't find it.

Ableton geniuses please help

Is there a keyboard shortcut to select everything on all tracks from, for instance, bar 69 to bar 420. The only way I know how to do it now is to select a certain section with the loop brace, then click on the loop brace which highlights all the tracks within the brace. Then I can copy and paste it ...

This happens to me too, I don't have a Logitech mouse either. It's infuriating.

Re: Ableton, It's time....

I believe the very nature of Live as devised by it's creators, means that we simply won't see it becoming the all singing all dancing DAW that Logic now appears to be. Of course I hope to proven wrong. EG. We will never see comping in Live. We will never see a horizontal session view next to the ar...

Re: Ableton live 11

For all of us long-time devotees, it would be nice if there was some transparency from the company. All of the issues we have, I'm sure they're aware of, but we never know if they're working on them, if they're planning on getting to them, or if they never will. There's always speculation on whether...
