Ableton Forum

That's awesome. Great job!

The problem with explaining the problem is I feel like I'm trying to explain the colour orange to colour blind people. "But the brown is great" Firstly it's worth reiterating that the L8 browser is not good. It is a basic OS filetree browser. Filetrees are not good for discovering sounds ...

Tags, the ability to filter and search tags via in the browser. Also the ability to search instrument "info" text via the browser. Once I see this in action, I'll upgrade.

Great idea! Throw in searchable metadata or tags, or even just searchable notes and I will upgrade!

Anything to help sort & search in the Live browser is a good thing.

Kinda useless really... considering that there are much desired missing features that should really have been added prior to all this. The ability for the user to tag their clips, samples, racks & instruments is easy enough to implement (in the right hands), yet is strangely lacking from the Liv...

Lack of tags in Ableton Live 9 are preventing me from updating. I would have updated in a heartbeat if they'd developed such a system.

They'll learn once Bitwig is released...

I did ask about the new browser on here recently, but it didn't get answered, so I sent the question directly to Ableton David......who also didn't answer. I asked whether the new browser used a database file to store locations. They said it was fast, so I'm thinking it does. I also wondered if the...

Some nice key detection would be a great tool when choosing the right samples...

Which could be done with metadata/tags, plus a search function to search the data.

That's the vibe I'm getting too, and it scares the shit out of me. Ableton used to be solid, and now I ask myself, what the fuck did I do to deserve this sore excuse of a website? Geocities was taken offline for a reason.
