Ableton Forum

I downloaded the latest beta, it managed to get through re-scanning plugins without crashing.

Subsequently, I re-opened Live non-beta, and since the re-scan is done it's not crashing.

So there's hope, kids.

Just wanted to let y'all know if there are any other cowboys like me out there.

I've got nothing mission critical in Ableton at the moment (if I had I wouldn't have updated), I'll post here once this resolves.

This isn't a bug report, just a warning to other users.

who are you? Oh and for context, there's also been a lot of posts (more on the beta forum) where people will talk down whatever features they themselves don't need, I think a frustration over that just kind of popped like a zit when I read that... But I don't think that's where you were going with ...

You bumped a two month thread to post this? It's this forum that is a mess. I can feel how I want, who are you? I am somewhat disgruntled. I am lost in a mess of plugins. I am... also rather rude, and I apologise about that. This was friendly fire. I feel that the browsing interface could be so muc...

That's a pet peeve of mine as well It's not immediately obvious to me though what a better alternative implementation would look like...

Lots of ways to do it. Here's one:

It's great now, but it could be better.

Please don't call this mess great. It's really not.

Hi. I've searched for more than an hour, I can't find a device that suits my needs. One that I thought there'd be a ton of: A grid of on-off buttons to map to a set of, well, buttons. Preferrably where the layout is the same scale/size as the macro buttons in ableton racks, that seems like a comfort...

Quick answer - QuNexus side:

Press and hold shift, press MPE/CH twice. The button should blink. Press the arrow button (-oct) until the 1 button is selected.

This is to set mpe to single channel, or channel one, or something.

The manual is a nightmare.

I hate youtube videos.
Here's a 10 second gif that explains how you change the bpm value on the scene in live 11.


If the link breaks:
just extend the column, drag to make the column wider. A new bpm field will appear.

Just got a QuNexus Red. I've gotten it to send the expressive data to synths in Ableton. But it doesn't come in as MPE, it comes in as oldschool midi data. Aftertouch and such. And as such, not polyphonic. Not in the nice new editor. I did everything the tutorials describe to go into MPE mode, but n...

I'm trying to recover settings for the VST2 plugins in an Ableton project. I'm on an M1, I'm using Battery (among other things) and it does not load. Indeed, no VST plugs load on the machine. Opening Ableton in Rosetta does not help. Is there a way to... look inside the ableton file, see what data i...

+1. I tried building one of these the other day. It was too complicated. Making one with envelope followers and Auto Filters would not have the visual feedback of the genre of EQs that ProQ has spawned. There are so many plugins that do this now that I'd say this should be a stock Audio Effect Devic...

Racks have multiple parallel chains in a tree structure which cannot be represented by a 1d list. So, unless they find a way of representing trees in a list it will never happen. I think you'd have to amend the design language slightly, but it can certainly be done. Off the top of my head: You woul...

Intro: When I've pressed Install in the Packs window, the install window locks up Ableton. The user (me) has to wait while an install finishes, and then press one button, and then keep waiting. Feature: I'd like to be able to press the other install buttons, and walk away, so I don't have to needle...

So I'm browsing old projects. A common situation arises: There's a track using Arturia's Spark plugin, which doesn't work on M1 (and I'm not sure it ever will). There's an AU version of the plug though, as MacOS creates emulation shells around older AU plugins. But when I drop the AU plugin on the t...
