Discharging Push Standalone battery
The manual says that to calibrate the battery charge meter, I should charge the battery all the way and then discharge it all the way. Is there anything to that beyond leaving Push turned on with the external power supply disconnected until it shuts itself off? Most battery-powered computing devices...

Can I change where Ableton Cloud stores its files
On my Windows machine, Live insists on creating a folder named C:\Users\<my name>\Documents\Ableton\Cloud Manager.
Is there any way to tell it to put that folder somewhere else, such as inside my User Library?

Re: Selling Licence does not work as expected
I sold a license a few years ago and IIRC it took a few days to go through. I suspect there's some manual checking involved.

Re: Two Installations with different settings
I don't see why not. When you install the second instance, it should tell you that there is already an installation on your machine, and ask whether you want to replace it or install somewhere else.

Advice on new laptop?
I think it's time to retire my now-11-year-old laptop and buy something new. The old machine is a Dell Precision M6600 (Intel i7-2820QM processor) that was one of the fastest available at the time, but is pretty paltry by today's standards. I had thought about replacing it with the current equivalen...

Re: Live - Space Before File Name
This is a design flaw in Windows: When a file name component begins with a space, and you copy the file somewhere else, sometimes Windows quietly eliminates the space (and sometimes it doesn't, depending on which operating-system facilities you use to copy the file). For example, the Live pack "...

Re: 32 bit float vs 32 bit
Each bit in a binary integer represents a factor of 2, which equates to 6dB. So, for example, CD audio, which uses 16-bit samples, has a dynamic range of 16 x 6, or 96dB. However, this 96dB is relative to an absolute noise floor, which might cause problems in mixing. Suppose, for example, that you h...

Re: Latest beta is fantastic!
so it's still in beta. ffs. I was expecting a full release soon so I tought I could go without installing the beta and just be patient. Now it's been more than two months; I know these things take time; but not sure I won't go with the beta. plus most of my plugins are native now. Does somebody hav...

Easiest way to set up a VST "half-instrument?" [solved]
I have a VST plugin that accepts MIDI, sends it to an external synth via USB, but does not get audio back. Rather, audio comes back through analog cables plugged into inputs in my usual audio interface. If the external synth accepted MIDI directly, I could use an External Instrument, but it wants in...

Re: Difference between ASIO and MME/Direct X
ASIO has much less latency. You should always use it on Windows if you have the choice to do so.

How to combine write-only VST with audio input?
I have a hardware synth (Modal Argon8M) that comes with a VST3 plugin that lets me send MIDI notes and parameters to it via USB. However, this VST does not send audio to its output. Instead, I have to connect the analog outputs of the synth to a stereo pair of audio inputs on my interface (which has...

Re: Collections don't really work anymore
It is possible that your Windows installation has become damaged. I suggest the following: 1) Check for filesystem damage: Click "This PC", right-click the system drive, select "Properties," then the "Tools" tab, then "Check. 2) Check for system corruption: Launch ...

Re: What should I get rid of (uninstalling Intro and Installing Standard!)
Ableton Live leaves two kinds of folders around in your AppData folder: 1) \Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live <release number> 2) \Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Ableton\Live Database Each folder with a name of the form (1) corresponds to a Live release and contains information about your license,...

I tried a quick test and it seems to work. Can you give more detail about what you're doing?
