Ableton Forum

I will say also that after using Push 3 in standalone version this weekend, I haven't had much issues with CPU overload after working on songs from a practical standpoint. It seems that Ableton engineered most of their synths to be CPU light anyways, so I don't think CPU upgrades will be that much o...

I'm getting up to speed with Audio tracks but I'm unable to get any sound out of the midi tracks. I'd like to start working with percussion but all the best stuff seems to be in Midi. Do I need to buy a Midi controller, or does Live have a way to work with Midi without adding hardware? The info vie...

I got to use this during my vacation and browsing was the biggest bummer. Compared to Maschine which has a great browsing experience, Push 3 standalone seems tacked on. In controller mode I think this wasn't a big deal as it is pretty easy to browse for stuff using the mouse and keyboard but for sta...

"Learn – Here you can launch lessons to learn about Push’s new features. You can access links to further learning materials, such as video tutorials and the manual, using the QR code." Seems a bit strange and unnecessary to have a button on the Push dedicated to this? Surely there would b...

Yes! (Other DAWs such as Logic, FL, MPC, etc. have been including their own similar Hard Tune EFX for a while. Perhaps they could create a similar thing and include it?) I bought Autotune VST at home, but the question remains - what is the best vocal "hard tune" solution that currently ru...

This idea is truly essential, and it baffles me that it hasn't been implemented yet. It would be wonderful if this feature could not only be available for MIDI but also for clips. Imagine how convenient it would be to do all the slicing in the clip view, without having to constantly switch to the a...

Like, record 10 inputs simultaneously and send the tracks to 10 outputs ? That's my plan for tomorrow, but still curious. 10 inputs and outputs isn't too much stress on a modern system and is spec'd well below USB 2.0 systems (which Ableton is probably even using a system with more resource capabil...

We can upgrade to a larger/faster SSD. Has anyone tried this? What's the best brand and model to select? Good question but I don't think there is a standard process yet as you would need to put whatever Ableton made OS on the hard drive which might not be a straightforward process. I was thinking t...

In the GUI it’s rounded to two decimal places. So for instance if I type “0.008” the knob says “0.01” but is the LFO actually running at 0.01 Hz or at what I typed 0.008 Hz? In other words, is the actual LFO rate rounded off or just the display? I can’t find anything in the manual or online about t...

I'm almost positive this will be in version 12.

Show/Hide Plug-In CTRL-ALT-P (Win), CMD-ALT-P (Mac) "Close plug-in" is separate from "show/hide plug-in" in Live, clicking the close button in a plug-in window will close it (potentially saving some rendering CPU/GPU), while "show/hide" will only hide the window withou...

I got an email from Ableton saying that there should be built-in on screen lessons when you first turn the Push 3 on. It also said that you can always go back to view the lessons by pressing the light bulb button on the top left of the device. I don’t recall ever seeing a tutorial and I don’t see m...

I think eic got reorganized into other packs that should be at least in suite, not sure… what was the sample? Maybe what you need is in the live 8 compatibility pack? https://cdn2-downloads.ableton.com/livepacks/Legacy/live-8-legacy-library/9.0b59/r30431/Live8LegacyLibrary_r30431_v9.0.alp I thought...

One thing that always irk'd me with Ableton was its minimal plugin window management compared to something like Sonar which had some cool Plugin Window management options (even from a mid 2000s Windows XP standpoint). I never understood why you couldn't at least minimize the plugin Window (something...

I have the same issues. Massive X, and other VST3 freezing or crashing ableton on close. If you use the same Plugin inside an additional host eg BlueCat PatchWork then the problems are fixed. On a lot of vst3 synth preset switching needs longer than Insider other hosts. Think this is because of the...
