scripting keyboards and hotkeys - my workflow - show me your

A friend of mine gifted me a Logitech G13 script controller, and it completely changed the way I interact with any program moving forward.
Paired with AutoHotKey for windows, and a few python scripts, I have gotten my Ableton songwriting (in arrangement view) down to 25 or so keys. (aside from ...

Re: Live performance and setup

I would reccomend:
1) ALWAYS press everything down to audio. Your CPU will be over exerted trying to play back a lot of drum and bass sounds via midi. A computer is much better at handling large clips (via RAM) vs synthesizing thing on the fly (CPU). Check out videos of Mr. Bill and KJ Sawka on ...

Re: I have 4k Monitor. What is HOTKEY to increase/decrease zoom?

If you want to automate ANYTHING on a windows machine, look in to auto hot key. https://autohotkey.com/
I believe Applescript is the mac equivalent, but have never used it myself.

Also, I would totally recommend picking up some type of scripting keyboard.
I use the Logitech G13 gamepad. You can ...

Re: Since most people call Live "Ableton" ...

I think it should always be referred to as "Ableton" for technical documentation purposes. The word "live" has a lot of other potential uses, and I have seen them come up many times reading help pages.

Re: auto update to 9.6 broke my setup - F*****CK - #URGENT

All is right in the universe again.
I was able to roll back to 9.5 and re-copy scripts. Project was not saved in version 9.6 and opened fine in 9.5, all systems nominal.
FYI, Ableton support confirmed that nearly all versions are NOT backwards compatible (aka a set made/saved with 9.6, will not ...

Re: auto update to 9.6 broke my setup - F*****CK - #URGENT

I presume you are using a Mac. Because for the Mac version of Live, I was always wondering why custom MIDI Remote Scripts can't be placed in a custom location, for example, "/Users/selffi/Library/Application Support/Ableton/MIDI Remote Scripts" folder? So that new installations don't overwrite them ...

Re: auto update to 9.6 broke my setup - F*****CK - #URGENT


Possible Solutions:

BEST OPTION - Update - if the scripts are 3rd party, such as Isotonik, Touchable, etc. Then these suppliers have now updated their scripts and you should get the new versions. They will work.
Second slowest - Rollback - Ableton Support (or a knowledgable user) can provide a ...

auto update to 9.6 broke my setup - F*****CK - #URGENT

HEY ALL

Not sure how long auto-update has been an Ableton feature, but it royally screwed me. Broke 2 custom midi remote scripts I had installed.
I have a gig in 2 days, not a fun space to occupy.

Rollback would hopefully fix it, BUT 9.5 is not available in the download archive.

Please remedy ...
