Re: Aggregated MAC device reliable?

the operating system is creating a virtual audio device and so no, it's not as reliable as a single interface.

i also wouldn't rely on an aggregate device in a live sound scenario...

Re: writing in drum parts

you need to think like a drummer and about how a creature with 4 limbs interacts with a drum kit if you want to program stuff that sounds something like a person playing a kit (if that's what you mean by "realistic"). here are couple of decent vids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23qiThX9...

Re: Latency / Delay and differences in audio between .wav and .mp3 export

i don't know what is causing your issue, however i would suggest always exporting as a WAV and then using another piece of software to do any required lossy encoding from that "master" WAV.

Re: How to bypass high latency plugins while tracking?

having the ability to factor out a plugin's delay time from calculation temporarily, even if it causes a popping sound, would be nice. Would there be any reason not to have an option for that? e.g. right click on a device -> "remove from delay calculation" or something one of the main rea...

Re: So... Live on Linux?

Look what Valve Steam has done for gaming !!! SteamDeck which runs SteamOS (Arch based Linux) then there is the Steam client or app ... That runs on Linux and uses Proton to run most Windows games .... Ableton could make there own LiveOS or AbleOS too and release audio interfaces , tablets , laptop...

Re: Glue Compressor confusing the hell out of me.

coincidentally Dan Worrall analyses and discusses The Glue's ratio/threshold interaction in his most recent video: https://youtu.be/1IH6N63AXu4?t=3268 in the Plugin Doctor analysis you can see that at the 4:1 setting the threshold knob reading matches the internal threshold of the compressor, and th...

Re: How to get rid of the "Live unexpectedly quit while... Would you like to recover your work?" message?

i would suggest a UPS if you aren't using one already for your installation setup. in addition to that chapelier fou's Max thing or some other scripting / macro utility could be used to automatically respond to the dialog box...

Re: Can I process the track by two different buses separately?

i'm not sure if i'm fully following the routing you are trying to achieve, however i think you need to either use sends & returns, or one of the Max4Live devices that allows you to route anything anywhere, e.g. https://valiumdupeuple.gumroad.com/l/vD ... ut=profile

Re: Glue Compressor confusing the hell out of me.

The Bus and channel compressor seem very different from each other as one is feed forward and other is feedback. This response seems the same in Reason, Ik, UAD, NI, or about every SSL type compressor I own. They just work differently and have different purposes. interesting. i only have Plugin All...
