Re: Automating parameters of third-party plugins via macros
The only workaround that I know of is to use maxforlive to iterate through the 0-127 range and grab the values for displaying on a live.dial. This though changes the dial to the enumeration type which can be automated but not modulated. Maybe this will change in the future but it's been this way si...

Automating parameters of third-party plugins via macros
I hadn't really thought about this much before, but it seems there are some limitations with automating configured parameters of third-party plugins using macros. (Maybe this is user error, but I did quite a bit of searching on the topic.) When you map a configured parameter of a third-party plugin ...

Re: Edit Device Title Bar for plugins?
+1. Is it true you can't edit device title bars for plugins? (It doesn't appear that you can.) If it is true that you can't edit them, does anyone know why that is?
[Edit: As a separate but related issue, I'm also wondering if/why you can't rename groups that are closed/folded, as mentioned earlier.]

Re: Resizing Group tracks in arrangement view
+1 I can understand that the group track needs to show the stems when the group track is folded. So I cannot reduce the height-size too small. But when I unfold group track, I don't need to look at the stem's thumbnail, because all tracks are unfolded, I can just look at my tracks directly. The hei...

Re: Edit Device Title Bar for plugins?
I don't see any option to rename the group You should be able to rename the group. However, it seems you have to have the group expanded (not folded) in order for the 'rename' option to be available. That said, I was also wondering about not being able to rename devices for third-party plugins. Doe...

Re: How to start playback from beginning of project?
Personally I've always found starting playback to be a bit fiddly in Ableton compared to e.g. Logic, but it may be there are features I'm overlooking. Anyway, not sure if this helps, but if you don't have playback set to start at a locator or the loop region, it'll start at the insertion point or th...

Re: Help with Auto-Tune Artist 9.2.1 & Ableton Suite 11.3.13
Not exactly the same problem, but I had an issue with all Antares plugins crashing both Ableton and Logic when added to a track (Silicon Mac, not using Rosetta). Fortunately, simply restarting the computer fixed it. Not sure what caused it.

Re: Re-sizable group track headers
+1 Please make it OPTIONAL to have the ghosted mini arrangement of the contents of the group displayed. Nested groups become ridiculous very quickly. So much wasted space. I find Ableton's lack of user options verging on Apple's arrogance. No you can't re-assign a keyboard shortcut. We've already c...

Re: Newb question - where are my plugin windows when reopen my set??? ?
Empirically, third-party plugin windows don't appear to reopen if a project is re-opened (at least on Mac). Not sure if there's a way around that. If not, I suppose you just have to re-open them manually.

Re: Getting single notes from vocal loop to use as midi
This was a few days ago, so maybe you've already solved this. But no, just slicing up the loop won't distort the sound unless you do something else that has that effect. You can do it in audio, or using a sampler (e.g. Sampler or Simpler). Simpler has a slicing mode you could try (it allows for auto...

Re: Height of closed group tracks
Thanks for the reply! It looks like ultimately this is related to the issue of group track height being tied to the number of subtracks. If there are enough tracks (6 for me), you can close the group and still see level and pan, but if there are fewer tracks than that, you can't - the group track wi...

Height of closed group tracks
This may be a stupid question, but it's a simple one. I'll keep the question short, but I'll be happy to provide further details if needed. I have a group track with two subtracks. What I'm observing is that when closed, the group track can be no more than one unit tall, and if you try to increase t...

Re: Why is everyone anti-track search?
The thing that always messes with me is after I move a track, the project jumps to a different position from where I just was. I've noticed this too - it can be confusing and disorienting. As for track search, are people 'anti' that? As far as I know, it's a feature many would like to see added (I ...
