Re: Has anyone tried Git style versioning with .ALS files?

I've been doing this for an ableton project that I use with a max project but TBH it hasn't proven to be super useful... https://github.com/jbaylies/sousastep/c ... 20Live.als

best workflow for automating the looper?

I'd like to use dummy clip automation, but if I use one dummy clip for rec / ovd / play, and a second dummy clip for automating the looper speed, the speed clip will stop the looper even though it doesn't contain rec / ovd / play automation 😦 Can I have ableton's fx params not revert to their "...

allow Link on/off status to be saved with project

Hello, If I enable Link, save the project, and close the project, I'd expect Link to be enabled when i reopen the project, but it's not, and I have to remember to click Link every time I open the project. It can be easy to forget to enable it in the rush of a linecheck before a gig. Allowing Link's ...

Re: Clip Color and Audio Monitor Settings

I too would find this useful. Maybe it could be an Options.txt thing?

Re: Lock Recording / Lock tracks

I'd recommend setting up Soundflower or Blackhole as an aggregate device with your interface, and recording Ableton tracks in Audacity, leaving Ableton completely free for performance.

Re: Looper : automate "clear"

when the looper's stopped, press and hold the looper's transport button for two seconds to clear. edit: oh, you want an automation lane for clear. There's a workaround for that. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=iac+driver+ableton midi track out to the IAC driver, remote in to Ableton. No...

Re: Layer clips in parallel on the same track in arrangement

7 years later... this is still an oft requested feature.

workarounds include track groups, and legato mode.

I simply never turn the audio engine off anymore. It causes other issues with things like outputting audio to channel #s > 13.

using [live.dial]s for MIDI CC automation in Arrangement View

I recently realized that I can make a Max for Live device with a bunch of [live.dials] set to output MIDI CC, which allows me to automate MIDI CC in arrangement view. Just be sure to check "Defer Automation Output" in the [live.dial]'s inspector, and maybe set the "Update Limit (ms)&q...

Re: How to add MIDI CC automation to TRACK instead of CLIP?

I think you need to create a Max for Live device for this. You can automate a [live.dial] while it outputs a MIDI CC. Be sure to check "Defer Automation Output" in the [live.dial]'s inspector. <pre><code> ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 554.3ocwUErbaBCD8L7UnQmoYPfShaukbn+DY73QFVRTFg...
