Ableton Forum

Hmmm... what Monkeytrix was asking for is already here since forever... Just need to select the "show automated parameters only" in any track's automation chooser. :roll: That's different than having a shortcut that can take care all of the lanes simultaneously, which I assume the other u...

Hi, I'm using a Mac and when Ableton scans for plugins, they all show up except for one in particular which is an audio unit. I've tried everything, turning off the folder in preferences, re-scanning, switching it to a different folder then back to what it was originally set at, even deleting all th...

your big mistake was that you opened the project from inside a Time Machine backup, which is a bad idea. Yeah, hence the "I did something dumb" in my first post. Of course it's not a smart thing to do and I figured that it would create problems, and now I really know. Hopefully this threa...

Ok, I figured it out. In case this happens to anyone else (I can only speak for Mac users): Force Eject your external HDD while the project is still open. Hit "Save As" and save to the project files folder on your computer. Start freezing each track and then double-check the project folder...

(Apologies to the admin, I responded from my phone and its posted again).

I couldnt see the screenshot but did you try "collect and save"? Yeah, I definitely did, Same error :( Like I said, only “save a copy” works but it didn’t create a samples folder. Is there a way to change the permissions somehow and sync my external file to my computer project as one? Or ...

So, I did a dumb thing :mrgreen: I just bought a new computer and it's been tedious transferring every single file for re-organization. I wanted to use part of an old composition that was stored on my external hard drive, so I was lazy and opened it from there and made a new project from it rather t...

I can't tell if it's an LFO or if the notes are just repeated individually. But I've tried and it doesn't sound quite right, and definitely doesn't have enough power behind it. This sound is usually in the background of a track, giving it a calm feeling (to me at least). Example: https://soundcloud...

Found it. You enable Midi mode and press the user function twice I believe.

For some reason the mode chooser (the drop down menu that shows absolute by default) isn't appearing in my status bar when I midi map to the Push in user mode. Can anyone help?

Figured it out. There was a tiny bit of space right in front of the duplicated copy. I nudged it over very very slightly and now it sounds how it should.

"Locking" the automation with the lock button in Arrangement view does the opposite to what one would normally expect from something that is locked in place. When you copy, move, duplicate, etc... your clips with the lock "on", in Live it means the automation envelopes stay &quo...

OK. I've narrowed it down to the Arpeggiator being the culprit.

Sometimes I think Ableton's trying to get me sent straight to the loony bin. I have a video-gamish synth sound that I made from Operator and made chords out of and to make it a little more interesting, I automated Octave and Semi knobs. I also threw in Arpeggiator. Anyway, whenever I lock automation...
