Ableton Forum

I have been stymied several times this week for ideas that I wanted to create in instrument rack but couldn't seem to do it, so I wanted to suggest these features. I would like to change the resolution on a macro knob so that I could, for example, have it shift octaves by using it to adjust the midi...

Pretty sure (from memory) frozen tracks appear just one colour so you can visually tell it is frozen.

Yeah I think you are right. I don't know how I overlooked that. I just happened to be using the same color for a lot of the tracks already. That's too bad.

So I'm reorganizing the tracks for a nearly finished song and found that Ableton will not let me change track colors. If I try to, nothing happens. If I unfreeze the track, then it will let me change it but once I refreeze it, it goes back to it's original color. This has got to be a bug yeah?

Is it possible to loop automation independently of the loop itself? To explain, imagine that I have a 8 bar loop and 2 bars of an automation pattern that I want to repeat. The idea is that I want to be able to modify the two bar automation pattern and if it's set to loop, it would also modify the au...

I guess that's why they haven't fixed it. None of you seem to care.

At the very least... y'all should be agreeing with me that Ableton needs to fix this.

So I've been having some issues with notes being cut off at the end of a loop. So if I have a 4 bar loop and a chord that plays for 2 bars starting 1 bar before the loop ends, the chord will stop when the loop ends and does not wrap into the beginning of the loop. I've seen similar posts about this ...

Thanks a lot! This will help!

I was wondering if there's any way to document anything within an adg file or any other file type like it? What I'm looking to do is be able to make effect presets for instruments outside of the computer and document which instrument the adg file is used for and the settings of that instrument. Anyo...

Yes ,thanx nice quick reply - but I have the answer now: create a rack inside a rack to control both the rack chain selector and the filter frequency with one set of macro's from the push2.....I found it the minute you answered me! I had that done already, but wanted them in one rack, but did not k...

This is my first post so sorry if it manages to be redundant. Brand new owner of Live. For anyone who remembers Native Instruments Kore. It had a macro feature that allowed you to combine multiple instruments very similar to the racks in Live. I suspect that Live ultimately killed Kore since Live ha...
