During mixing... 1. I don't use the clip slots & the track status display in the Session View, but the current version does not allow me to expand the mixing section over to that wasted space. And there's no reason to limit the fader length. 2. I don't always want all the tracks to be visible. I...

Test-hearing the song at different keys is an important part of my production. When the song contains both MIDI & audio clips as it usually does, shifting the key instantaneously is quite difficult in the current version of AL. I tried mapping all of the audio clips' pitch sections & MIDI tr...

I have used Axiom 49 (classic, first generation) with the previous versions of Live without this problem, until version 9. The default presets (18, 19, and 20) provided by Ableton are now not working properly, regardless of removing/re-installing Axiom's driver and re-dumping the presets. Live appar...

Everytime I reopen a set (whether the most recent or not), it restores none of the VST panels I had arranged around AL's, despite the Auto-Hide being turned off and the Auto-Open being turned on in the Preferences. This bothers me, because, while I need a constant specifically-arranged view of utili...

Apparently, turning on/off EQ8's Oversampling mode can affect the envelope shapes over higher frequencies, in which case I tend to leave it on for consistent mixing (without later having to go back and re-tweak the parameters upon enabling the better quality mode for rendering). Would it be converse...

My Live 9.0.6 x64 itself is receiving MIDI from BCR2000. The indicator at the top-right corner is blinking, and I can MIDI-map any Live instrument. But a FabFilter Pro-Q (or any of the other FabFilter products) in its MIDI learn mode right next to, say, a responsive Simpler isn't responding to any o...

When I freeze and flatten a track, I get a warped clip, by default set to Beats Transients Loop Back-and-Forth (This happens in spite of the fact that, in the Preferences, "Auto-Warp Long Samples" is turned off and "Loop/Warp Short Samples" is set to "Unwarped One Shot"...

I often get the following when working on a low-frequency material: http://s15.postimage.org/6slxlza09/eq8_clipping.png , which I don't expect, since the low-cut envelope (the only filter here) goes below the default level (the Q being 0.70) and shouldn't be adding anything to the original signal. A...

I've been having a nightmare or two since I bought Behringer's BCR2000 (& FCB1010, which I'm going to ignore in this post) for my AL projects. Here's the background, which you can skip and go to my questions: * * * BACKGROUND I wish, like some other AL users have said they do, for such a setting...

I get exactly the same error message upon opening 8.1.4 on Windows 7. The other versions such as 8.1.1 don't crash this way on my computer.

The only workaround I discovered is: open a previous version that doesn't crash, go to Preferences, and cleanup the Cache in File/Folder; then open 8.1.4.

I may have a related problem. After a few seconds I opened Live 8.1.4, it almost always crashes, giving this message: Memory corruption detected (0x5e) It doesn't happen with the previous versions I have. Another similar issue is discussed here: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=141584

I've been extremely troubled by crackles between some clips in the Arrangement view in almost every my project since 8.0. There's a thread on this problem: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=112868 It has nothing to do with CPU usage or warp modes or warp markers. Fading off a large po...

I want to monitor my music (or any audio from my computer, for that matter) with my headphone and speakers. I don't have an external mixer, so I'm looking for a way to do that with my audio interface, which is Native Instruments' Kore. In Windows 7, you cannot have multiple outputs for the same soun...

Is it possible to assign Reason parameters to Macro?

I have a drumrack track (named "DR") to which midi tracks (named "kick", "snare", and "hihat") are routed. I want to freeze all of them. But when I choose the command "Freeze Track" from the track "DR", I get this message: "The track &...
