Re: Best way to backup Packs for later (possible) reinstall

If you download the packs from the Ableton website (the packs section) you can keep the installers for future reinstall

Re: 12 Trial vs 'Full Version'

The trial is the Suite version, which has everything. And your licence is the Intro version that has a subset of the devices/instruments/etc from Suite.

There is a comparison chart on the Ableton website that lists all of the differences

Re: Should I get an ultrawide monitor?

I prefer a monitor that has the same width as an ultra wide, but with more height. (Eg just a normal ratio large monitor or tv). The extra vertical screen space is really useful

Not sure if you are tagging samples, devices or both, but I did some testing on this recently...

Re: Where is sample tagging metadata stored?

Just did some tests on Windows, and when you tag one or more samples in a folder, Ableton creates a new folder underneath named 'Ableton Folder Info' with an XMP file inside containing the details of the tags and which samples they apply to.

This folder and XMP file was automatically synced by ...

Re: something is really messed up in 12


I don’t know if this has any influence on the results, but it appears you are using mp3 files. If I’m not mistaken ( things have changed over the past few years ), Live has to render the mp3 files into a non-compressed format. There might be some strange behavior shifting everything when it is ...

Re: DJ FX Transition Rack

Look into dummy clips to do this - you trigger clips using pads/keys/whatever, and they are linked to clips with the FX settings you want.

The example in your video is all done using native plugins, and he is using the akai controller to turn them on/off, or adjust settings.

With dummy clips, the ...

Re: USB Audio Interface (Behringer) + Ableton

Not something I've tried, but it seems like a lot of gear for not much benefit, and latency might be an issue.

How about upgrading your controller to one with more channels and effects, and keep things digital?

But posting in a DJ forum should get you more responses

Re: Optimizing CPU peformance on Ryzen 5000 series (10+ cores)

You do need to control the cpu power states - min and max should be set to 100% and the cooling policy should be set to active. If that doesn't work from inside Windows, you might be able to control it in the bios.

Something else you should check is to make sure the usb ports are not going to sleep ...

Re: Working with Ableton on a 21:9 gaming monitor (is it worth?)

Generally bigger is better, but you have to consider how much physical space you have and where your speakers will go. Some people prefer 2 or more monitors rather than one big one - you can have arrangement view and session view open at the same time on 2 screens.

You don't need a gaming monitor ...
