All I know is Live asked me if I wanted to "Replace" my previous installation. My buddy said he did and suffered no problems. I wasn't so lucky.

If Live wasn't designed to "Replace" it's prior install, I'm not quite sure why the developers would offer that as an option during the upgrade. Either ...

I'll remember that in the future. But, this is something that should have never happened to begin with.

they need to fix that little bug.

Oh. It gets weirder. For a year now, I have never been able to get Live 9 to record the automation from my ZeroSLMkII using the Automap feature. Now, since LIve installer totally screwed up my original Live 9 folder, and I had to reinstall to another folder, the automation now records.

Yeah, this was totally not the morning I was expecting. My buddy told me about the update so I did it. And, kablooey!

So, now I get to reinstall all this crap. It's probably going to take me all day to do that. These packs aren't small at all.

Why?

I can't record the automation while Automap is enabled? Seriously? The VSTI's are automapped already but there's no way to record automation. Everything I read says to disable automap?

So,...what is the point of Automap?

Even more bizarre? Works like a dream in FL Studio. I never would've ...

You're the best. That solved it. I don't even remember doing that.

Every time I try to insert a MIDI track into Ableton, it keeps inserting a drum kit. How do I just insert a blank MIDI track? (Live Suite 9) It keeps inserting PowerKit2 for some reason.
