Re: Turn off indexing

Thank you for this! I've been having a lot of trouble with Live freezing for up to 5 minutes sometimes, becoming completely unresponsive. This will happen when Live regains focus after a while, or when I'm loading or saving. I've started smoking again because of the enforced 5 minute breaks, not a j...

Re: How to use the sample browser as intended?

I tried that a while ago, and it wasn't for me. :/ But it's been updated since, maybe the new version fits my needs better, I'll check it out.

And I guess I'll put one mark in the "objectively bad" column

How to use the sample browser as intended?

I'm looking for suggestions on how to work with the sample browser. I have given up on my Live 8 workflows, since they are impossible in Live 9+ (eg using aliases/symbolic links to organize, switching between sorting by name/size/date to find files), and Ableton have been as clear as they could in t...

Re: —Please Bring The File Browser Back To Live 8 Functionality—

2. Have ore than one info column other than the file name visible. Actually you can have two columns. Just right-click in the column bar. Sort by clicking on the other column. I suppose up to 4 would be nice. Yeah, that's why I wrote one other In addition I think arguing to go back to the previous ...

Re: —Please Bring The File Browser Back To Live 8 Functionality—

This functionality is never coming back, is it?

So, let's perhaps talk alternatives:

Is there a way to organize samples that live in multiple directories so that they appear in one place in Live 9? Is there a way for a sample to appear in more than one place without having to duplicate it?

—Please Bring The File Browser Back To Live 8 Functionality—

Hi! There are two major things that the file browser did in Live 8 and now doesn't do in Live 9, harmful regressions that I wish you'd fix: 1. See symbolic links. This is THE deal breaker that prevents me from upgrading to 9 today. I have painstakingly organized all my samples using symbolic links, ...

Re: What's the best way to synthesize a choir sound?

If you don't have access to formant filters, find a formant frequency table and filter something square-ish accordingly, then add noise processed with a resonant bandpass for "breathiness" as desired

I feel like there was a keyboard shortcut for this but I can't find it, so I'm supporting this wish!

Re: Question about Sample management in Ableton

Consolidate each of the snippets (ctrl-j on windows). When you "Collect All and Save", they will be saved in the project folder as samples, named the way they are in the arrangement.

- Make the Mixer Section tall enough to see the Peak Level meter - Narrow your track until the Peak Level meter is just a circle - Move your mouse there - Look at the Info View (it says "Peak Level") - Keep looking there and click on the Peak Level, don't move the mouse - Oh! Info View now...

Re: Live powercycles my USB powered MIDI keyboard during startup

I have had this problem with low-powered USB hub under load from devices. Changing the hub fixed it, at least in that case. I only have onboard USB available, so that's not an option (unless of course i buy a powered usb hub). BTW: the whole thing seems to be connected to network traffic somehow? I...
