Ableton Forum

@chase Would you mind sharing more details about finding the .adv files and opening one? I've tried turning group by folder off and on again and re-scanning plugins. No luck still. Sorry I didn't see this until now. On the Mac I went to Applications, chose Ableton Live, right-clicked and chose &quo...

Agreed, it's something we've passed on to the devs already.

Thanks Tarekith, have always appreciated your posts here and elsewhere.

I have tried, it doesn't work. I've even tried renaming my wavetable file to match the factory waves ("Vector_Sprite_User Juna.wav"), which seems like it should work, but that doesn't work either, unless there's some trick I'm missing. This is a weird oversight, it would be very useful to ...

So I know that it's possible to use custom/user wavetables in Wavetable by dragging a .WAV file (of the appropriate format) onto the wavetable pane. And if that wavetable is in a folder with other wavetables, you can then step through the folder to try the other wavetables as well. But there doesn't...

Thanks. I eventually got it to show up by finding the .adv files and opening one. This has bitten a number of people, hours seems like a long time to wait for Ableton to recognize a tiny file.

I just updated to 11.3.3 and Drift is not showing up. Elsewhere online people recommed turning "Group In Folder" off and back on, and/or rescanning plugins. None of these things has helped. I've reinstalled multiple times, deleted and reinstalled, nothing. I don't understand how they can s...

So the request is for Live to auto-detect the audio device, right? Because the program already "remembers" the last device & driver used. And while that's a perfectly fine feature to request, it isn't that hard to go into preferences and select the device.. like 5-10 seconds of your t...

What's really needed IMO is an option to set Follow time as a number of loops of the clip, rather than an absolute bar:beat:16ths value. It could even allow for fractions of a loop (1/2, 1/4, etc). A default of 1 would just play the clip all the way through once and then trigger the Follow action.

This doesn't work on a Mac - use command-drag instead.

Unfortunately, it is NOT a feature that Live 9 has - I was misled by talking to someone who should know. I've been complaining about this for *five years* and I've been basically been told that I'm being difficult and unreasonable - but pretty well every other sequencer has had this feature for the...

You're right, we shouldn't buy nice new hardware ever. WTF were we thinking? In fact, we should still be using the same old computers we were using when Live 1.0 came out. After all, they were fine for us back then, right? :roll: It's a simple, honest, reasonable request. As for anyone who has a pro...

Coming up on two years, still no sign of this basic, extremely useful feature.

This is a Windows issue. The reason 'company's know about these problems for years and never do anything about it' is because there is nothing to be done on their end. The problem is with Windows. No, it is not a Windows issue. I've never owned a Windows box or attached one to my MotU POS, so how i...

The APC-40 was a botched product release, plain and simple. :evil: Akai never bothered to produce any real documentation for it. They're a faceless Japanese corporation with no real customer support. Cycling74 OTOH is a tiny American company that didn't dedicate enough manpower to documentation - Ma...

It could well be just the Motu, they have this problem with a number of their models (I have an 828mk3), they've known for years, and they've never done anything about it. I've had full-blast white noise suddenly coming through my speakers - lovely, that's great for my ears but what do I need ears f...
