Ableton Forum

I'm using an external instrument to trigger a hardware-synth (SH2). When triggering the keyboard without midi I can trigger the same note repeatedly and get sound each time. But when playing from ableton/external keybed via MIDI it only triggers when a different note is played. Am I forgetting somet...

I have never grasped why we can't see the difference between a sample and a MIDI-based clip (.alc-file) in the browser. This is beyond my comprehension. Or is there some trick that I haven't been aware of? Having both types of clips in the same view is very strange to me. It should at least be possi...

Doesn't key mapping accomplish this? https://patches.zone/key-mapping-in-ableton-live-tutorial The original poster cited the existing key-mapping as a limitation. What's being discussed is more of an in-depth modification. Example: you can right-click on a midi or audio clip and 'crop clip,' howeve...

Yes why not. Even some times recording is done on the wrong track and ends up in total silence. Getting rid of all silence would be great.

Totally agree, should be faster to start from wherever inside a clip when editing.

Actually Im starting to feel ableton has lost some of its advantages on fast editing in the arrangement as well (fades etc makes mouse-work a bit cumbersome).

Totally agree. As a side-note having a dedicated browser-search-keyboard-command (from anywhere in the daw) would be awesome, and that it only showed folders that had the results, and preferably showed "all resupts" as standard. So you hit CMD+P for instance (since its not in use?) and the...

Specific (and typical) use case would be: You have a chord-section on different MIDI-tracks, and you want to transpose all notes at the same time. You need to change some notes on several MIDI-tracks, so you mark notes from several tracks at once. As far as I know I can only SEE notes from several t...

Agree. Another feature I would love is to sort all featured from one color for instance as a "super-favorite"-list, where all go-to plugins reside (EQ's, compressors) Even having some real estate in the browser with these super-facorites "always open" would be nice; some plugins ...

Not LIve-related, but to make the forum a bit more efficient liking posts / other emoticons would be nice. Would make the forum a bit easier to read, and especially would make it easier for Ableton to find out what feature-requests are more popular. For instance I dont want to comment on a suggested...

I could see some kind of tick-off-box-view-mode (cmd+e+f) when marking an effect, then tick of/on in each clips in arrangement og session-view. Sounds like a bit of a hassle to implement without issues..

You know that little headphone-symbol you sometimes want on and other times off.

Would be nice with a key-command to toggle it. Sometimes I need sound for only a few notes and toggling with mouse is a bit slow...

No biggie, but hey maybe its not such a big programming-task to get done!?

This feature is one of the ones I wanted for ableton, to be able to move several notes from different midi-clips at the same time. The way it is now I have to mark which clip I want to move notes from, and i only see the motes from the other clip. This is better than before, but still misses the hug...

I understand it can be a technical challenge, the thing is just that arranging is slower for me now than before. Maybe I just have to get used to it. Live is starting to look more like logic and cubase; the main asset of Live is (to me at least) the quick workflow.

Im talking about the new features in arrangement_view. One of the reasons I love live is its simplicity, meaning how fast it can be to use. Arranging is much slower for me now after live 10. If Ableton could make it a possibility with a shortcut for toggling advanced automation/arrangement and the f...

Unfortunately it wasn't like that for me. Looks like I have to install everything again. Shouldn't have to at all. Your packs should all be on your drive, you may need to check/set the path in the new Live but it should have carried over your settings. Actually you're right, my old packs seems to b...
