Re: High CPU usage even with VST3?

I guess I'll contact Support, then. Didn't want to bother them directly, but enough people have looked at this. I'm kind of surprised, tbh. I would have thought people would say one way or the other, "No, that's not my experience" or "Yes, that's how it works for me, too" but I d...

High CPU usage even with VST3?

VST 1-2 were very inefficient. If a plugin was on a track, its presence would add to the CPU's burden even if the plugin was not processing any sound. VST3 was supposed to fix this: a VST3 plugin would not run unless directly called upon and any muted/bypassed plugins would have a barely noticeable ...

Re: Grain Scanner from Amazing Noises

Did you try re-installing an old Live version? Maybe your problem appeared after the L10.1.9 update? Entirely possible on the second question, yes. I'll give the old versions a try since Ableton Support seems to be unresponsive (understandable in the current circumstances). I take it you don't have...

Re: Grain Scanner from Amazing Noises

Is anyone having problems with Grain Scanner all of a sudden? I had a great time with this when I first got it, and it worked perfectly. Everything worked well and it had no problem with tons of automation. I left it for a while and just came back to it, and for some reason it's ruined now. Despite ...

Re: Ability to add "negative time" in timeline

I saw a video on how to go negative in arrangement view's timeline a few years ago. I'm trying to learn how to do it again, but I can't find the video. So many Ableton, videos on Youtube. If any one knows how, give us a heads up! If I find the video I'll let you know. Maybe this one? https://youtu....

Re: MPE support.

How have you still not fixed this? Every so often, I plug in the ROLI again in the hope that anything works better. The setup is still the most painful implementation I can imagine. There are people on Github who came up with a better way of doing the setup, at least, and they cracked that problem t...

Re: MPE support.

Agreed. I've had the Seaboard Block for nine months, and I'm wondering how long I'm going to have to wait for proper integration. Having to wait for anything as a Live customer is a nerve-wracking time because experience teaches you that you can't have any confidence that it will be soon. We get lef...

Re: More collection colors?

Same here. Even just one more colour (dark green, purple, or white/black as you suggest) would be huge for me. I love the collection categories, and they help me with my 3rd party plugins and also stop me from forgetting the great ones in Live's own suite. Tagged, they come up when I'm looking for a...

Re: Vst 3 support in Live. When?

"since it's never going to be cheaper than it is today" "Lowest price ever" is just marketing, not true at all, especially for Plugin Alliance. 1/3 (around 30-35% off?) is not even cheap, Plugin Alliance discounts 50% and 75% (and more) regularly. They didn't even say "chea...

Re: Vst 3 support in Live. When?

I'm in this completely stupid situation right now where there's a VST I really need from Plugin Alliance, and it's 1/3 of the RRP under a combination of member savings and Black Friday, but I can't run it because it's strictly VST3 (or AAX). So I'm in this silly position where I'm probably going to ...

Re: VST3 Support!

I've just bought PSP Vintage Warmer 2. I can't use it because I have a 4k screen, and you won't give us VST3 support. I realise some companies' VST2 plugins do have scalable VSTs, but this is not the point. PSP doesn't feel it has to, I guess, because they offer a VST3 version and every other major ...
