I have a large Ableton Set (130+ Scenes). If I CUT/PASTE Scenes, Nearly 100% of the time when I hit play, the interface freezes up. The song is still playing in the background. I find myself, cut / paste / save / close Live / reopen Live / reopen set / then continue working. This is the only proven ...

In a track label, you can use a # as the first character to show the Track Number.
Are there any other tokens that can be used to show other info?

Is there any thing that will help you display the Scene number?
I tried the #, and it didn't work.

What about for Mac?
I know that the Ableton Session View knows the running time. Because if I have a Mackie Universal Controller connected, it can show either the running time (Minutes/Seconds) or Measures/Beats.

Does anyone think that crashes can be associated with Ableton Sets being saved in a folder that is sync'd with OneDrive?

Since creating this thread long ago, I have narrowed it down to frequent crashes when I Cut & Paste Scenes in Session View. Rearranging Scenes.

I use a Microsoft Surface Pro with Windows 10. It has an SSD drive.
Should I let the OS compress the hard drive?
How much overhead does it create for Ableton Live if the drive is compressed?

+1 for the Nektar Pacer. Use it in production every week. Rock solid. Feels great under your foot. https://nektartech.com/pacer-midi-daw-footswitch-controller/ Used Keith McMillen's Softstep 2 for a couple of years before the Nektar Pacer got released. It required far too much looking down at it. Ea...

Nektar Pacer is very nice.

Zoom into the start of the WAV. Make sure the 1.1.1 pointer is set to the very beginning of the WAV. When Warped, it moves the starting pointer.

I regularly use multi-output audio interfaces. While programming I use a iConnectAudio4+, and on stage I use a X-Air 18. When I pull up my Ableton live sets, they work when developing and when performing due to alike number of outputs. Desire: If I work offline (just the Mac), it uses the "Built-In ...

Yes, and it handles it quite nicely. Use the ClyphX track M4L insert. Trigger with a note in a MIDI clip the length that you want.

What is the longest safe length of USB cable that can be used for a MIDI controller to a Mac running Ableton Live 10?
I'd like to have this sit by another musician on stage away from my keyboard setup.
