Re: Deleted VST and VST3 Folders on Mac, Now Ableton Keeps Freezing When I try to save

Have to ask, did you delete the contents of the folder or the VST folder themselves? Live should be fine with you deleting all the VST plugins in the VST foider, Live will not be fine with you deleting the VST folder itself, it's a system folder and should not be deleted. I deleted the folder -_- d...

Re: Ableton 11 Slow on Mac M2 Sonoma

Just for information I have some issues with NI plugins on a M1 pro / Sonoma. But I don't have issues with Live native devices or Reason plugins... Strange. Nothing strange about that, NI state pretty clearly they haven't finished testing in Sonoma. https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/a...

Re: Ableton 11 Slow on Mac M2 Sonoma

Hello folks, the downgrade to Ventura failed (not compatible with the M3), also to 14.1.2 seems not possible. Here is an attempt to answer your questions: - in an empty live session there are no problems. - It seems to be mainly the plug-ins that are causing trouble (especially Native Instruments C...

Re: Cannot map plugin (Novum)

Here anyway, in Mac OS with AU, the ADSR mapping just doesn't work at all, nothing of the vertical parameters on the right. I can map any of the horizontal parameters above the ADSR envelope, timbre etc. so it's not Live, it's Novum. Opening up Novum in Digital Performer which publishes a list in a ...

Re: Largest NVMe drive for Push 3 Standalone

Out of curiosity, so the Push 3 does not have an extra slot for another NVME drive right? You all are bravely cloning the 256 and getting busy?

Plug-in Windows - please fix this??

So I've never understood the way Live works with third party plugin windows? why the way it works right now even exists in Live? As any of you who want to open and close plugin windows with the keybaord shortcut know, it only works if first you moused to the subwindow and hit the show/hide plugin wi...

Re: Ableton live support for ARA 2

Melodyne especially when you get into the Studio version does a whole hell of a lot more than pitch correction, you can use it to control dynamics, de essing, formants, all kinds of things.

Re: Maddening dropouts

Oh, and if you own any amount of PA plugins, their product manager is a PITA since it doesn't tell you which plugins are out of date. I just update all of them if I find one of them is behind on updates, since that's an easy choice with them.

Re: Maddening dropouts

I have a M1 Pro MBP and on some sessions I’ve got strange CPU spikes. I don’t have any cracked plugins. But I have also a lot of plugins and I know some of them are making problems because I’ve got issues only when they are in the set (mainly Plug-in Alliance and Native instruments plugins) It’s tr...

Re: Move live across displays with keyboard shortcuts (Mac)

It's probably not the answer you're looking for but Lives dual display feature switches between Session and Arrange with the tab key so you can at least get the semblance of moving displays. The other workaround if you're on a Mac is Keyboard Maestro, a truly amazing program for under $40 that can a...

Re: Ableton 11 Slow on Mac M2 Sonoma

It's unusable on my brand New M2 Mac Studio too (and BTW I am on Ventura at the moment). Sent detailed support request to Ableton but they are not answering. It seems (not least from this forum) that this is a big issue and has been for a fairly long time. Is there really no solutions to this. If A...

Re: Q: More than 6 control surfaces?

You run right into this limitation if you use any mixing control surface with extensions. It's not as crazy of an amount as people might think. Mackie Control which gets used for all kinds of mix devices uses 4 right away if you have the extensions etc.
