Re: Change Arrangement View Shading.

Yes, it's working fine now on Ableton 12.
It's so much nicer for me to not have the shading, although I understand that some users might find it useful.
Thanks again Purpletea.

View Master Time Ruler In Clip View.

In Logic you can see the Master Time Ruler in the Clip View. This is very useful, especially if you work with odd time signatures or have time signature changes in your song.
I understand that Ableton deals with clips differently to Logic, treating them as autonomous entities rather than areas on ...

Re: change arrangement view shading

Hey, silly me, I still had the text editor open. When I deleted the text editor it saved the changes.
Now it works perfectly.
Many thanks for this Purpletea, much appreciated.

Re: change arrangement view shading

Thanks for your reply Purpletea.

I still cannot make it work.
I'm sure it worked easily on my old set-up a few years ago.
Here, copied and pasted, is what I've written in the text,

<ArrangerGridTiles Value="#0a0a0a00" />
<DetailGridTiles Value="#0a0a0a00" />

Am I doing something wrong?

Change Arrangement View Shading.

The Arrangement and Clip view shading gets on my nerves, especially because I often use odd time signatures and lots of odd key signature changes. With these the shading does not align with the bar lines and is just a distraction.
I found this in another post, instructions on how to disable this ...

Re: change arrangement view shading


You can disable the alternating color in the theme file.
Make a copy of the theme you use the most (so it's not overwritten when Live updates).
Open the file in a text editor, search for the tag ArrangerGridTiles and set its value to zero.
You can do the same for the clip detail view by adjusting ...

Wavetable Not Accepting Consolidated Samples As User Sample.

If I consolidate a sample in a song then try to load it into the User section of Wavetable it is not accepted, giving an orange "Cannot load sample,,," notice at the bottom of Ableton.
However, I can successfully load unconsolidated samples and also, via the browser, successfully load samples that ...

Moving Master in Drum Rack Without Affecting Reverb Levels

I have recently discovered Ableton's Drum Rack. One of the many things I like about it is the ability to create effects sends, and also to send these busses to the master effects busses. Using this feature I put the master reverb in varying amounts on the indivdual drums, for example lots of reverb ...

Re: Alternatives with multiple outputs to blackhole for apple m1?

Sorry about the capital letters, it won't happen again!

Thanks for you suggestion. I did create an Aggregate Device containing both the Saffire and BlackHole. Ableton saw this fine, but the Audio Output Device in OBS can only see BlackHole, which is now not sending any audio, unlike when I used the ...

Alternatives with multiple outputs to blackhole for apple m1?

On my Apple M1 Mini, when I run Ableton and choose my Saffire 18i20 as the output, I can have the metronome on output 3-4 for just my own monitoring while the main output 1-2 does not broadcast the metronome to the listener, ideal for an acoustic song where I need precise timing but do not want any ...

Turning Long mp4 into sequential 10 minute wav files.

I have a mp4 of my stream, downloaded from Twitch. I want to convert it into a series of ten minute long wav files so it can be downloaded to Bandcamp. I'm sure there's an easy way to do this, but for now I cannot find it, despite trying a number of things. It needs to be separate sequental wave ...

Using Ableton Looper With Push 2

Is there a better way to use Ableton's Looper with the Push 2 than the way I have devised?
Here's what I do;
On the track I have the looper I create four dummy clips which automate the turning on of the record, overdub, play and stop functions respectively.
The looper is set to a fix bar length ...

Re: Pad Lights Remaining On

I not sure it's anything to do with M4L devices, as I'm sure I've not loaded any new M4L devices to cause this. I loaded the audio and midi Blinkloopers a few months ago, but nothing since, and this fault has only recently started.

Pad Lights Remaining On

Hello.
My Push2 started to behave strangely since a few weeks. When I'm switching tracks on the Push 2 while the pads are lighted up on a track, the lighted up pads will be carried over to the other track (they won't make sounds, its basically just incorrect visual feedback). It feels like the ...
