Thank you, I did set up an Audio track, set monitoring input, and put the FX on the track. When I play the audio in, I get the 100% wet plus the dry signal too (as you'd expect) No, that's not what you would expect, but it does depend on the effects you're using; some provide a balance between dry/...

I'd say "it depends". They're not required for using Live, that's for sure, but they could definitely come in handy if you experience issues and need to re-install. Sure, you should be able to download the installer at all times from the Ableton website, unless of course something is wrong with your...

I can think of dozens of ways... I suppose the easiest is to pull in an audio effect rack, create 2 chains (right click) and set up a toggle between them (so: show the chain selector, right click and assign it to macro 1). Now use one chain for your fx experimentation while the other stays empty. Ma...

You assume wrong my friend, I have not! :D I literally just installed a trial of the full Max and nothing else - no pointing of Live to the external installation at all and just checking now Live reports as using the bundled version. I quite doubt that, but it's too early to conclude as much. Once ...

I have been using Ableton for about a year now. Recently I decided to try my shot at sidechain again. Previously, no sidechains option (I am using default plug ins) would not work. Can you be a little more specific? What plugins? Because Live does not have VST plugins by default. I tried again rece...

Was messing about earlier with mc.vst~ and the console tells me I need a full Max license to use it? At least I think that's what it's telling me. Although I'm not fully familiar with all the inside-out's of the licensing protection scheme I still think it's somewhat unlikely that this restriction ...

Well its 2020 and I just installed the 10.1 Trial. Got the same "Eternal Spinning Wheel". User Library is empty. Nothing to index. No such probs with Ableton Lite. First of all: why necro this unrelated thread? The OP's message has nothing to do with yours. I suppose it's fun if all you care about ...

Not gonna happen, Live is master only.

Have you checked if your registration has been correctly processed? Because this almost sounds like a registration hiccup to me.

So, is this just to share your dislike or do you actually want to try and find a solution to whatever problem is bugging you? Because if the latter is the case it would help to provide some solid examples of what is going wrong for you and how to reproduce these issues. Just whining about how bad ev...

Have to disagree, what's wrong with configuring stuff when it's actually connected? This would only clutter up the interface and in the end nothing really changes, it would only be a cosmetic aspect in the first place. Functionality > appearance IMO. And then there's another thing to consider.. what...

Also.. In the Live settings you can turn off 'select on play' after which you can use the 'select' button on the Push to select a clip.

What audio device are you using, and also: did you set up an ASIO driver?

Your best bet is probably an instrument rack to set up different zones for the differences in sounds, and a Max for Live MIDI effect which can detect the 'downplay' and switches chains accordingly.

Press control-k and then you'll see every option that can be mapped to a key. But as you discovered yourself some options are hardcoded into the software and thus cannot be customized. Live has a specific workflow which takes getting used to, IMO getting familiar with the default options and keys is...
