Ableton Forum

i upgraded on release day, because i am lackadasical, and I can't think of a single crash that wasn't plugin-related (and those are few and far between) between then and now. And that was the first build.
So I would say you should go for it (if you can justify the cost!)

I think it might be new, with the new warping interface in Live 8

I can reproduce this, and it is strange behaviour but it seems deliberate (as in "feature not bug").
It seems that when consolidating, Ableton notes the max peak of all the files, normalizes , consolidates, and then removes gain so it peaks where it did before.
Try setting the gain after ...

It's normal behaviour, you have to click on a warp marker (green boxes above the waveform display). You are adjusting the tempo of the section after that warp marker.

I recently moved to Mac (OSX 10.5.8, 15" Mac Book Pro), and I've been getting infuriating behaviour when typing things into plugins. When I use the backspace key, the stroke somehow gets hijacked by Live and interpreted as a "delete", and the plugin gets deleted accordingly. This seems to happen in ...

ahh cheers for this, follow actions hadn't even crossed my mind!

I'm sure this is possible, but I just can't figure it out. I'm trying to randomize the timing of one of my drum hits during a breakdown, so that it could come in on any (or none) of the four 16th notes in a beat, for part of a live performance. However, this is dance music so I want it to stay ...

This is most visible on the "Clouds" colour scheme; it's only a tiny thing but it's actually quite annoying... I'm only reporting this because it seems no-one has noticed it, it hasn't changed in any of the recent betas.

1. Set up a clip envelope to turn a device on and off sequentially.
2. Click on the value and try to type a new one, while the device turns itself on and off. (don't press return)
3. The control resets itself to its original number, and you need to click elsewhere on the screen to de-select it and ...

Actually I'm fairly sure this is to do with the way Guitar Rig maps automation parameters. (that is, not Ableton's fault - it can't map parameters that don't exist!)
Open up the big view of 128 parameters in Version 7, and you will see one parameter per control per device.

Ah yes, this is the same. I had a brief look before posting but I think the wording was a bit different so the search didn't come up

Unless you change the name of the audio file (ie, if you leave it with the default name; that of the Live Set) it will try to overwrite your Live Set file. Please confirm.

confirmed 8.0b6, i reported this last night by email as well (happens for audio as well as MIDI clips)

I've also just discovered that this happens if you touch the sample start/end markers as well, but NOT if you use the numbers on the left to adjust them.

+1, this drives me MAD, i am an obsessive Guitar Rig user; and since it only has one built-in macro control i NEED more parameter automation!

I did consider that, but the 0-127 range of the midi cc controller would make for even more coarse setting than the MIDI-mapper in ableton.

I just want to be able to enter exact values in the MIDI-map dialog. Is this definitely impossible?
