Yeah, I hadn't used it in a while, I'm pretty sure I've had it running happily in Live 12 - it's been a year - but firing it up for the first time in ages it's not happy.

Anyone have it going on Mac / Live 12?

Hi, can anyone else confirm this possible bug?

Korg Wavestate Native AU and VST3 causes Live 12 to freeze (spinning beachball of death) when inserted.

It's working perfectly in Logic Pro, and it passes Logic's AU Validation. It's also working perfectly in Live 11.

MacOS Sonoma 14.7.4
Live 12.1.5 ...

Go to Preferences > Plugins, and do a deep re-scan by holding down ALT(PC)/option(Mac) and click rescan.

I have no idea how to import and play videos in the session view.

You can't run video from Session view. You need to run your video clips from Arrangement.

There are several third party solutions that give video playback in Session View. Videosync and Zwobot are two that come to mind.

Is Warp switched off for both samples?

It’s impossible to tell anything from your pics because it’s clearly not the same moment/snapshot of the audio/track. One could be singing a sibilant and the other not. That would account for the difference seen in the pics.

Could also be a sample rate mis-match.

Check that Live, your computer, and your audio interface (+ your interface’s control/mixer software, if applicable) are all set to the same sample rate.

Try right-clicking the loop start marker and checking "Set Song Start Time Here" if it's not already checked.

Holy hell! I never knew you could invoke the loop brace as a movable “play from here”. This is going to be killer (good!) for my workflow.

C/V changes the velocity of the note when using the letter keys to input midi.
After about 15 years I only just discovered it by accident.
And yes, I did know that Z/X changes octave, before you ask......

Username checks out

Try this, in Control Surfaces preferences, set the first two fields to None, and leave the last field set to APC Mini.

In other words...

Control Surface = None
Input = None
Output = APC Mini

This stops unwanted re-enabling of Control Surfaces here on my mac when I start Live.

Did you try other screen resolutions?

And possibly try other framerates? i.e. ProMotion on/off etc?

There are a lot of little GUI and workflow improvements that aren’t “headline” features.

In the MIDI realm, the new handling of the envelops tab in Clip View is much more comfortable to me, and actually quite a big quality of life improvement.

The options for MIDI editing in Clip View are quite ...

Yup, there are a few CCs that are verboten for user-assignment in Live. No, I don’t know why sorry, but that’s the way it is.

You’ll just have to program your controller to send another CC.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, I think this is to do with a setting in Mac System Settings Audio for background noise isolation, or voice isolation.

Turning this off fixes it apparently.

Sorry for the vague answer, still on Monterey here, I saw a post where someone had a similar problem.

Hope this is ...

Create a new MIDI track.
Drop an EQ8 on it.
Right-click the track header (where the track name is) and select Save as Default MIDI Track from the menu.

Now all new MIDI tracks will open like this.

Individual plugins and instruments can also be saved as the default by right-clicking their headers ...
