Re: Right-click-option to delete deactivated midi-notes

+1 + 1 +1 Adding to this, I notice when you extract a chain from a drum rack, it activates all the midi notes despite whether they were deactivated previously. Would be great if you could retain those selections when extracting chains. And also have the ability to delete all deactivated midi notes a...

Re: Essential: include group effects when exporting individual tracks in Ableton Live

+1

How to batch-bounce tracks individually while keeping the group effects on them?
Perhaps this is a bit counter intuitive as compressors etc will hit differently when tracks are sent through individually... It would be great to hear more thoughts on this.

Re: I made an M4L device to display LTC timecode embedded in an audio signal

I wonder if this could be used to better sync Ableton with LTC incoming signals? My most recent experience trying to sync Ableton via LTC, is that at best, you convert LTC to MTC, and then Ableton disables all Tempo mapping, which for my purposes is v unhelpful :( It would be great to have Ableton n...

Re: Ableton Skipping and Creating a Major Delay

This is in a live-playback scenario No recording 8 - 16 tracks but never that many files being read at once- even only 6 .wav files max Little to no vsts- all ableton-native if there are I really can't imagine it being a disk overload; it's in the middle of a show where we're playing song after song...

Re: Ableton Skipping and Creating a Major Delay

*Bump* I still have this infrequent but relatively devastating issue, and have heard from others recently that this is still an issue. I don't really hear about it on any other DAWs so despite it seeming like it must be a low-level OS issue, it almost seems like more of an Ableton / Interface .. but...

Re: Ableton Skipping and Creating a Major Delay

I agree it is hard to diagnose. I am sure it is more complicated than this, but I would have thought DAWs and other 'important' software could be treated as a high-priority service and be the absolute last thing to 'skip'; and then if it is skipping, this means the whole OS is shitting itself for no...

Re: Ableton Skipping and Creating a Major Delay

Anyone have any recent experience or updates on this? I am still having this issue running on Mavericks and basically... wtf. How is this even a thing that happens. The world's leading live-performance software and the world's leading OS running upwards of $4k investment, can't playback reliably. In...

Turn Chain Select into Signal Router

Hopefully there is already a solution to this: One aspect of my live setup, is having multiple synths (etc) on a single track, and traditionally I might step through them with the Chain Selector. Instead though, I want to layer them in different combinations: Piano / Strings / Bass / Piano + Strings...

Re: Difficulties mapping MIDI foot controller

Is it possible you need to turn on the Remote input in the midi settings of Live?

I'm pretty sure I have had a foot pedal running through my Push, and had that triggering the 'next scene' button in Live. Not quite the same but maybe this helps!

Re: SMPTE sync question

I'd be interested to hear about the signal flow that allows you to use SMPTE in the first place. I was under the impression Ableton could only read MTC?

Re: importing audio and midi tracks while retaining tempo

I am looking to achieve this same result but with midi files. While you can turn off warping on audio files, it seems you cannot stop midi clips from warping to the master tempo. It is possible to warp the notes within a midi clip, like transients in audio, but this creates a ton of work. Effectivel...

Re: Flakey M4L clip automation??

I am interested to know if anyone has had success sending clip automation to M4L in arrangement view? The Live API doesn't seem to have built in an Observe function for clip envelopes, but only for their macro control- but since the clip envelope doesn't change the actual position of the parameter (...
