Hey, it's been 8 years since my original post. Haha.
Yes it's mad that this is not changed yet.
I guess sustian pedals are not so common among Ableton users?

Hi guys,

One thing that keeps bugging me when programming synths/piano is that the sustain pedal doesn't shut off when I press stop.
I keep having to either re-press the sustain pedal or really quickly press start/stop to get Live to stop before the sustain pedal is activated in the clip.

Is there ...

Thanks guys, I had to turn off the volume for warning sounds to get rid of it.
Unchecking "play user interface sound effects" didn't do the trick.

It never happened in Live 7, that's why I'm asking...
I hit save all the time, it comes from my Logic years;-)

Hi everybody,

I just upgraded to 8 and now everytime I hit save, I get a Mac warning sound, if I haven't made any changes.
I'm a frequent "saver", and I would hate to break this habit because of the sound, can't find anywhere to turn it off...

Anyone know how to do it?

Great idea with another account, thanks!

What made you stick with 7?

But If I install 8, won't that screw with my library?
I remember installing the beta of 8 early on, and I had to mess with my library to get it working again.
I guess I could install it on another hard drive.

I just wanted to know if there are any nasty bugs still there...

Hi folks,

I'm using 7 right now, working great on both Macbook pro and my G5.
Been waiting for a solid 8 to do the upgrade.
What's tempting me is mostly the nested tracks, fades & groove engine.
But I don't wanna sacrifice stability for those features.
So my question is simply... is it time to go ...

How about freezing the tracks?

Thanks Ableton support!!
Back to music:-)

No, the only new items in the library according to anstallation date yesterday is "project.cfg" and "UpgradeLog.txt",
both in the Ableton Project Info folder.
I had to force quit the installion, so maybe those two files got installed and are corrupting the library?

Should I try to delete them ...

I installed the Live8 suite demo from the website.
Now I can't "Collect All and save" my sessions in Live7.
I get "Index failed: Disk I/O error" message, and this is totally ruining my day...

Anybody seen this before?

Best,

Is there another fast way to transpose midi clips than putting the pitch midi effect first on the track? Would be great to be able to batch pitch midi clips...

I have Blockfish Fishfilet plugins in my plugin components folder and I used to be able to use those plugins (which I love), but now I don't see them in my Live library (and a couple of other AU plugs). Does anyone know if it's a Leopard compability problem?

Preferences /Audio /Input config
Make sure 1 (mono) and 2 (mono) is yellow.

Then in the track mixer, Audio from : choose 1 or 2 (not 1/2).
This should select one of the 2 Mbox inputs.

In the monitor section of the track mixer choose "off".
You might have to record and see if you need to adjust ...

Could it be that you're mixing the live signal with the direct input from the Mbox2 and that you've forgotten to press the mono button on the Mbox?

Try having the monitor "off" on the track in Live and pressing the mono button on the Mbox and adjusting the level with the mix knob.
