Re: licence error when installing some packs on live 11

Synth Essentials is not part of Live 11 Standard, it was only added to Standard in Live 12.

Same for many other Packs (Beat Tools, Build and Drop, etc.).

That's normal behaviour for ASIO drivers.

To start play from Loop Brace, right-click it, then enable Set Song Start Here.

To start play from where last stopped, Shift+Space.

To start play from insert marker, Ctrl+Space (on Windows).

Re: Relative midi pitch modulation in Live 12?

You can try unlinked Clip envelopes, a 1-bar MIDI Clip can have a 4-bars unlinked automation/modulation envelope for the Pitch devices with the automation or modulation rising or lowering every bar (while the MIDI notes keep looping every 1 bar) https://www.ableton.com/en/live-manual/11/clip-envelop...

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.
