thats crazy!

hope it will be included in the installer aswell

Thanks Jur! And thanks also to Ableton finally giving us an offline manual, which is printable and searchable. <3

As moving to Linux brings a whole new pallette of problems, and Win 11 isn't an option for me in October '25, I have more or less decided to move to an Akai Professional Force ecosystem. Not ideal too for everything, but as far as I can see now, good enough for my modest needs.

I have had it with ...

One quick question:

Where is the Live 12 manual in PDF-format?

I only find the Live 11 manual.

I prefer to print this instead of using the Live 12-HTML version.

Thank you!


also the online HTML version has no search and is totally out of date.

we are waiting since the release of Live 12 for ...

are we there yet?

as sad as it sounds no ...

So I took Angstrom's suggestion (not the one above sadly) but the one to buy Live 12 at the intro price but not actually install it until the first big update. So last week I finally upgraded from Live 11 to 12. So many new things added. Cool. Now let's read the manual to see what these things do ...

as migrated from L11 to L12 - i kept both versions installed, to eventually save things in Live 11 for Live 12.

I also made a copy of the User Library, which worked with Live 11 and kept both of them, because Live 12 had some changes. I know if the UL is quite big this isnt to good working. But it ...

How to synchronize the sample library and your Tags between two machines?

I would like to have the same Tags on my notebook and my desktop? What is the best way to do that?

you guys are in the wrong topic, its about no manual here and not some random play tip error.

you can upload it to streamable or something and add the link here i guess.
Or i upload it to youtube is also a solution.

its hard to understand from your explaination what is going on, so a video is a good idea.

I think Ableton gave up on the PDF Manual, the latest 12.1 Beta 1 has no Docs Folder, 12.0.10 still had this folder i believe.

seriously fk u Ableton.

There is not a single paid (expensive) DAW out there, who doesnt have an offline Manual in some sort. Congrats you are the only one! :evil:

On ...

IL has both: online and offline:

Offline:

the offline installer is simply a copy of the online manual, made workable offline ...

noo - 12.0.5 still doesnt have Manual. 11.0.5 had one so far i can remember. FeelsRainMan

i think Ableton will let stand in the rain outside during a storm.

i dont think there will be an offline Manual for Live 12. Simply bcs Ableton thinks, that everybody has to have ...

Still no news about the manual, if i would live in Berlin i would visit them and ask them to do the PDF Manual for free.

how hard can it be?

I agree it seems like an oversight. I’m mostly puzzled by the folks who are considering ditching Live altogether because of it. it’s one thing to be disappointed and inconvenienced by it, but it seems a very strange hill to choose to die on. but hey, different strokes for different folks and all ...

Chapter 4 added.
But I realised afterwards that "Chapter 4 Managing Files and Sets" for Live 12" is simply the Chapter 5 of Live 11.. What a shame..


it happens, thank you so much, also it looks quite good, almost like a real Ableton Live Manual. 8)
Which program did you use?
i doubt Ableton ...
