Re: Problem with Ableton, connect guitar to input 1 and get sound on all the channels.

Weird. I mistook the issue in my first message. Look for an updated driver/control panel, or reinstall if it's already the latest. You can also try audio/midi devices and try redefining the MiniFuse. Never used that interface, so I don't know the software. Good luck!

Re: Static builds during playback

Again. The audio on most laptops is more than capable of keeping up. Maybe not fidelity wise, but certainly in performance. Check the buffer size!

Re: Static builds during playback

Buffer under run. Increase the buffer size in Settings/Audio until this stops. If it continues, new driver or sound card. Also check for background apps that may be hogging resources.

Re: Time signature duplication

You can do this using duplicate or cut time. Why no copy time, I can't say. But if you need to paste somewhere else, cut then paste it right back so you don't lose it, then put the insert marker where you want to put the copied time, then paste again. There may be other ways, but I'm not aware of th...

Re: Live 12 reference manual DISCONTINUED BOOOOOO

Not good. Bring it back. Companies do this so they can edit it at will, or that used to be the excuse. With print to PDF, this shouldn't be an issue.

Re: Problem with Ableton, connect guitar to input 1 and get sound on all the channels.

You'll get sound from any track set to input one if you leave the track monitoring on. I often have this issue with MIDI. New tracks by default use all inputs so unless you turn them off or specify them, every track sounds. I've changed the default project so that monitoring is off and no input is s...

Search "Ableton Live Tips" on Youtube. I learned quite a bit from those.

Re: Any Max device that lets you change the track input monitoring state?

You know... I just tried that. You have to remap every time you want to switch tracks, or I suppose just define one track as the tuner track. But it still saves me time, and maybe I'll tune more often now! Thanks for the info and suggestions!

Re: Any Max device that lets you change the track input monitoring state?

Doesn't seem to say anything about the monitoring state though it shows it in one capture... Can you confirm that it does that? Cheers

Finally fixed long clip names and info text formatting issue!

Once upon a time I had the idea of putting lyrics in clip names. If you expanded them enough, you could create an ad hoc lyric track. At least enough to remind you of the words. But I also wanted them in the info text box. Formerly, a long clip name would screw up the info text formatting. Apparentl...

Re: Custom Key Commands Not Working In Live 12

I've never had much luck with Apple's shortcut feature and Live. Don't know why. Could be me. Keyboard Maestro works quite well.

Re: Track View Commands in Arrangement View on Live 12????

For about the hundredth time, Ableton need to let users define/redefine their own key commands and open up more features to key commands. For instance the track monitoring state. But they're like a dog with a bone when it comes to controlling this aspect.

Re: Track View Commands in Arrangement View on Live 12????

I use Keyboard Maestro and map the track view menu commands to Control+numpad. Can't recommend this program enough for use with Live.

Any Max device that lets you change the track input monitoring state?

I often want to use the tuner to tune a guitar, but this requires that the track input monitoring in in the On state. Alas, that also creates latency when recording, so I actually keep it Off. It's less work now as I can just show the main mixer, but it's still a pain. Lacking key commands for this ...

Open Live to previous state... Please.

I spend at least 10-20 seconds every time I run Live just getting back to where I was. Not including project load time. Because... 1. I have to go to the file menu and open the last project which is generally what I want to do. There's still no auto-load last project option. 2. I have to set the pun...
