Ableton Forum

Good point!

Although I always use CTRL+R for renaming, right mouse + context menu selection is indeed a bit tedious.

Hey, i.m.o. an already possible "favourites" Collection or a filter bookmark in the browser, then double-klick or drag&drop is at least as fast as a right-click-context menu in the device zone would be. Don't you think so?

You're welcome. That list could be little shorter cause you can also deactivate plugin scaling in the plugin list, without instantiating first. But still plugin by plugin.

I am not on center code, but thanks a lot for posting it there...

Guess you're right .......

Yes it's the internal "Komplete Kontrol S Mk3". (Live 12.1.10)

I am not on Center Code.

Maybe it is intended that you always have to press SHIFT + PLAY for this. But first of all no other live hardware controller I had does work like this, Ableton Push 2 and KK S MK 2 do it right. An second of all ...

End of 2024. Still the same with latest Live and Kontrol MK3 versions.

I wish for christmas (...or better for 2025) either:

• Ableton adds the option playhead behaviour to Live 12.

• NI adds the option play button behaviour to Kontrol MK3 settings.

Yeah plugin manager would be good.

I have used collections for this. But since Live 12 I use the new filter system. A good filter is better for certain things because it does not need to be maintained when new plugins are added. Defining a filter and pressing the "+" symbol creates a new entry in ...

Well I'd say this has basically been implemented with Live 12.

You can use the new CC Control MIDI device. Using this, you can control, see, edit all MIDI CC just like automation data in the arrangement (instead of blue CC modulation data in the clip view).

Orig. post was from 2018. Since Live 11 there is a per-track-CPU-usage-meter that can be turned on in the mixer.

It is enough to see a track causing CPU drain and check by deactivating suspicious plugin(s).

My feature wishlist for an already great software:
CHECKED list from 2023 against Live 12 UPDATE:
I must add, that Live 12 introduced many changes and improvements, that where not on my wishlist, but that I really appreciate.

DONE Combine freeze + flatten to be executed in one step (as option ...

1. Select all Clips to rename
2. CMD+R (or right click select rename)
3. Type in new name
4. Hit ENTER
-> All selected Clips are renamed

Yes of course I mean with overdub enabled it destroyes the clip boundries and clip naming. Else it would delete the MIDI data when writing automation.

Just for clarification: You know that multi clip select re-name already exists? Just not with unique numbering.

In my case I do not want auto-numbering when re-naming multiple clips at once. So for me it is fine as it is.

In Ableton arrangement recording automation in realtime overrides the clip structure. I like to consolidate MIDI clips (CMD+J) and name them properly. When recording automation with MIDI controller or Push the clips boundries are overwritten.

Can anyone explain if there is a useful reason for this ...
