OK thanks, figured it out! It seems to work in general but there always seems to be an offset between the value of the track automation and the value the patch transcribes to the Utility - e.g. when the track volume is at 0, the Utility reads -0.15. Don't think this'll do the trick for what I'm afte...

Thanks so much for this! I have never ever done any patching or editing of Max For Live patches themselves though so I have no idea how to actually get this to work. I saw the link in your signature but still can't figure it out, are there any super basic youtube tutorials you can point me to? put &...

Trying to figure out whether it's possible to do the below with Max For Live - essentially, "moving" Track Volume automation to Utility Gain automation. So in practice it would look like: 1. Have a Live track which has Track Volume automation 2. On that track, create an instance of Utility...

What version of macOS are you running? I was having some weird interface-related issues on Monterey 12.3 & 12.3.1 which appear to have been fixed in 12.4 (so far at least).

If it's only happening on-stage, power issues could be the culprit. On-stage power is often glitchy and problematic, and power issues can cause all kinds of weird stuff like this. Having a power conditioner in your live performance rack and making sure everything runs off that would be a possible so...

OK, I figured out why the options.txt setting wasn't working... For that gating bypass to work, audio must first reach a level above -100dB, but in my test setup it was below -100dB from the start (I had a saved Live session for testing). I should have assumed it works like this, due to the "t...

Another simpler way to see the issue is to grab DMG Audio's free TrackControl plugin. It has input & output faders as well as meters that are capable of super low values. Put 2 instances next to each other on the track, and tweak the fader of the 1st instance while watching the meters of the nex...

Agreed, not much else to add. But I'll just add this again: that Options.txt setting does not work. And I do have the Options.txt file set up correctly, because I can successfully change some other settings with it, but -_AudioOffTimeInSamples=691200000 does nothing. In fact, any line that starts w...

Just delete your preference.cfg - I've noticed these huge upswings in CPU when upgrading to new versions before, and every time, it goes back to normal when you trash your preferences.cfg and set up Live the you way like again, from scratch.

Tried this briefly today, the 2 computers didn't even find each other... is there some kind of OS or firewall setting that would prevent 2 computers running Link-enabled Live from establishing the connection?

Anyone know of any NY stores with stock atm?

I'd say this creates a HUGE disincentive to use software that relies on Java... Ableton devs - is there a future for M4L users that doesn't require us to install adware?

Yep I'm sure part of the problem is how old Ableton's code base is, but regardless of the technical reasons behind it, the PDC issue is a major drawback on workflow and my ability to produce results using Ableton, and if other DAWs are nailing it then Ableton has every chance of losing users...

Bitwig's 1.1 update has overhauled its PDC engine, and now it's basically the gold standard of any DAW I'm familiar with... http://www.bitwig.com/en/bitwig_1up.html Ableton really needs to lift its game in this regard because Bitwig has shown that a bulletproof PDC scheme is possible in a Live-like ...
