Ableton Forum

I'm running into this issue in 2021. I trust Ableton is correctly rendering AIFF files, but my macOS is showing them as AIFF-C for some reason. Weirdness.

The arrow keys do not move the PLAYHEAD, they move the CURSOR or SELECTED AREA (latter in case you have anything selected).

It would be thrilling to have a keyboard shorcut to move the actual playhead, especially 1 bar backwards.

btw, while looking for answers, I found this that isn't the exact thing but kinda close:

I just realized after 6 years of Ableton Live that I sorely need a PUSH BUTTON (like a keyboard key) that lets me instantly jump the playhead back by 1 bar (while it is playing). I'm very much doing the mouse based workflow for automation, and this would be a TON of help when drawing the automations...

This is intensely WEIRD, you would except a *nix family operating system such as macOS to be able to run multiple instances, but ALAS no.

I wonder if support is ever going to come Mac? I would love to have two Ableton 10 projects open at the same time...

GREAT IDEA! If Ableton added a simple command line tool for rendering, 3rd parties and hobbyists could create all kinds of rendering utilities and batch processors. for example: bash> live /Users/jondoe/Documents/mysweettrack.alp rendering........................ RENDER COMPLETE. bash> All this comm...

Trying to use it but running into problems with Live 9.7, it claims that the iRamDisk folder is not empty, even when it is (at least before trying to set it). I have just contacted support and am waiting for reply.

I also have 32GB of RAM which is a ridiculous amount for Live.

if you go to options -preferences -zoom display you can set the default zoom higher than 100% making the text easier to read 125 or 150 should be perfect

this helped me out, thanks1!!
