If you are familiar with Mixerman's previous offerings, then I highly recommend funding his campaign to write this book. Check out: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/musi ... rd-books#/. I'm not paid to endorse him; I enjoy his writings.

Are my current Ableton Packs from Ableton.com completely compatible with Live 10 Suite? I do not expect otherwise, but does this apply also to the Max for Live Packs (Max for Live Big Three, Max for Live Building Tools, Max for Live Essentials, and Max for Live Pluggo for Live)? How about third ...

The problem with moving things around there manually is that update processes may not be able to find the old plug-ins and will leave them in their folder while the root is updated, breaking havoc when you want to load the latest. In addition it's a bad idea to changes there because if you get into ...

I read threads here and elsewhere on creating symbolic links to provide a better user experience with respect to organizing VST folders for view within Ableton Live's plug-ins folder (or, for that matter, any host that exposes VSTs and other plug-in formats). As you may know, creating VST subfolders ...

I checked a few threads on recording automation data for an existing MIDI/audio clip in arrangement view. Maybe I am missing something obvious. Basically, as I understand it in order to record automation data in this context, one simply needs to do the following:


Disarm the arrangement track ...

Based upon guidance from a Native Instrument forum member, I tested another Kontakt 5 (K5) output configuration. This time, per the guidance, I saved the revised configuration as a default for VST plug-in. As are result, here are the outputs that the Live 9 External Instrument 'Audio From' list ...

I read all the posts I could find in this forum and other forums regarding Kontakt 5's (K5's) multiple output setup. Being my question pertains to using K5 within Ableton Live 9, I also read both the K5 "Outputs in Host Mode" section and Live's "External Instrument" section. Let's begin with a ...

I am using Melodyne 4 Studio to detect tempo fluctuations in live-recorded audio files, and for the most part it works quite well. Melodyne 4 Studio includes a capability for exporting the detected tempo map to a MIDI file, and I would like to import that file into Ableton Live v9.6.1, Build: Mar 24 ...

Does Ableton document all the parameters that its Live Devices expose for MIDI control and/or host automation? Currently, I am working out some customized controller mappings that satisfy my workflow needs, when I came across a dead-end, in this case with the EQ8. It appears that the EQ8 exposes the ...

Yes, we are on the same page. Use a VST's/AU's MIDI Learn feature directly when mapping to an external hardware or software controller versus first the Configure Mode option. Unfortunately, this requires remapping every time ...

Thanks for the replies, yur2die4.

Very sad indeed.

yur2die4,

Is this still the case with Ableton Live 9.1.7?

I just discovered your post. Here is my related post: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=210133.

There is no doubt this was asked elsewhere, but I cannot find related posts here. If so, excuse the repetition.

Goal :
Retain a custom Lemur for iPad template's MIDI CC mappings to Configure Mode parameters for some VST/AU plug-in within a saved Instrument Rack.

Problem :
The Configure Mode ...

See http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/vignettes/core/live_limitations.html , particularly the section at the bottom entitled "Other Limitations". If you purchase a Max4Live license and not a Max license, then this will impact your ability to use your Max creations apart from Ableton Live.

Here is an ...
