Re: Plugin Menu System

+1 At least allow any number of Collections, and allow nested folders inside of them. That would enable creating the desired folder structure manually. You've always been able to do the desired folder structure manually for vst2 in your custom vst folder. Vst3 has been changed by Steinberg, so hard...

Re: Ableton standard + plug-ins v Ableton Suite

If it's any help, this is the route I went. I bought Standard and then downloaded third-party freebies until I knew exactly what I needed and selectively purchased the plugins that really mattered to me. I eventually bought Sampler as well and I think that was a good choice for someone who has Live ...

Re: Equalize velocity drum rack

Live's Velocity MIDI effect is a velocity compressor, so you can drop that onto any incoming MIDI and limit the velocity range to whatever you need.

Check out page 440-441 of the Live manual for more info.

How about putting the tuner on a return track?

Re: Help with audio routing?

It's one of the downsides of the Windows OS; it cannot recognize more than one audio device at a time. If you're not using a Focusrite interface (which is one of the few brands to offer this feature internally), the best solution is an audio interface without enough extra outputs and inputs that you...

Re: External FX routing

You'll need to connect outputs 3/4 on your audio interface to the input of your FX unit. Route the output of the appropriate track in Live to outputs 3/4 of the interface. Then the output of the FX unit has to be connected to two of the inputs on the audio interface. Set up an audio track to record ...

Re: Tascam Hardware

I feel your pain, I really do. My favorite Mackie mixing board, that was the heart of my studio for years, had drivers that didn't work past Windows 7. A lot of people tried to get it work, a tiny minority succeeded, and the only thing they could attribute it to was some mysterious combination of ne...

Re: Tascam Hardware

According to the latest release notes from Tascam, it's a miracle the control surface works at all. They stopped updating drivers back on Windows Vista. I'm afraid you may be out of luck. Sorry.

Re: iLok deactivate licenses

Not sure I understand why you need to deactivate your iLok licenses. A couple of years ago, I upgraded from Win 7 32 bit to Win 10 64 bit, and installed a new C: drive to make the transition cleaner. I reinstalled Live and all my plugins, along with everything else on my computer. I didn't have to d...

Re: Limiter on Master track – yes or no?

It really depends on what you're working on and what you're trying to accomplish. It can be a good idea to put a limiter on the master bus when you're composing, recording, and arranging your track. It's there just to keep a lid on things so you don't have to worry so much about your track levels. I...

Re: I honestly have no idea where to begin.

Uninstall the Realtek drivers, then go into bios and disable the motherboard soundcard. Sounds like Windows is mucking things up because it can't make up its mind which audio device and drivers it should use. That would explain why the Windows script fixes it, even though it's temporary. You might l...
