Re: VST2 is in the way out, Steinberg will terminate SDK licenses

People overhyped VST3 and attacked Ableton for years for not rushing to adopt it, now the truth comes out about VST3 but none of those people will mention that Ableton was right about it all along.

Re: VST2 is in the way out, Steinberg will terminate SDK licenses

Clause 1.6 can actually imply clause 9.8 (in fact the whole Agreement) does not apply to VST2. I think Clause 1.6 implies you need another Licensing Agreement for VST2, which Steinberg does not provide anymore, but Ableton already got decades ago. And Steinberg employees have stated publicly that 9....

Re: Live 12 reference manual DISCONTINUED BOOOOOO

The online version used to have a search box (until Live 9 I think), no idea why they removed it, they should definitely add it back (even if PDF also comes back).

Re: Basic Gain Function 0db

I guess s/he wants to scale the gain with MIDI notes or some other value that doesn't match with Utility's -inf to +35 scale.

Re: How future-proof are Max for Live devices?

Most older devices I downloaded from maxforlive.com work just fine, with very few exceptions (basically only Kapetan's MK16-185 Sequencer 1.5, and its older 1.0.1 actually still works just fine, just the 1.5 version has GUI problems). Ancient devices like the Pluggo ones have been working fine for a...

Re: .asd files - any way to keep them somewhere else?

Disabling the creation of .asd files will severely slow down Live during loading of sets or new audio files (which is like half the time you are using Live). Having all .asd in a single folder looks like a good idea until you realize that it makes it a lot of work to locate .asd files for files you ...

Re: When will Live 12 be released ?

Tuesday makes sense to me, gives one day after the weekend (Ableton doesn't work weekends, German labor law and all that) to do last checks before the release, and leaves a number of work days afterwards to do marketing/support/education/etc. for the new version.

Re: Audio Engine Shutting Off Inexplicably

Bluetooth audio auto-connect maybe?

When somebody turned on an earbud to use with their phone it could have auto-connected with your computer before it was switched to the phone.

Re: Slice mode in simpler has stopped working

MIDI note 60 is C3, while Slice mode always plays from C1 octave, and shorter audio probably won't have slices in higher octaves like C3.

Re: Ableton doesn't let me delete unused files

Usually that's because of the backed up .als saved in the Backup folder in the project.

Re: Issue Adding Sound To Wavetable

I've bought EZDrummer 3 from Toontrack. Seems like it is having the same issue. When I record a new clip and try to drag it in I either get an error saying "corrupt or unsupported audio format" or it crashes (and Ableton along with it). However, if I save and then re-load the project it'l...

Re: Scenes in Live 12

You can already deactivate Clips with "0" zero key (if they are supposed to stay stopped) or set Clips to Legato (if they are supposed to keep playing).

Re: H and W arrangement view shortcuts not working anymore.

Maybe you simply enabled the Computer MIDI Keyboard with the "M" key?
