You might be misunderstanding what you are calling "foldback distortion" that's more usually called aliasing. The aliasing from overdrive/saturation/distortion effects are usually from overdrive within software, because as the distortion effect produces high frequency harmonic content it h...

In 1988 I started gigging with a TR626 and an SH101. To fill out the sound I had a cassette tape with backing pads on the left channel and a Roland sync pulse in the right which fed into the drum machine clock in and that drove the SH101 timing . It seems insane to me that 35 years later we are stil...

It's good practice to have a couple of older Live versions on your system in case of stuff getting broken. Recently I've mainly been using live as a tape deck. Just recording multitracks of performances that I'm doing OOTB, so 11.2 is just fine for me. I certainly don't need the new DJ warp analysi...

One fun way of finding out more about percussion programming is to watch drum lessons and talks on YouTube. Eg. Go and watch Bernard Purdie break down his shuffle, https://youtu.be/sj6o4cxWgl8 ... or some drum teacher out there will have broken down some famous beat you like, whether it's Clyde Stub...

It says that the files will be reanalyzed, not that their timing will be changed/that they're going to be re-warped! From my understanding, old files need to be reanalyzed because you might still warp them in the future, in which case the new algo will be used. If you don't tweak them, they won't b...

And it's acknowledged that the new asd format will change the timing of previously recorded materials. Where did read this Angstrom? AFAIK, the .ads will be recalculated, but previously warped files won't get re-warped with the new algo; only new files. Also, the new asd rescan only needs to be don...

Bit of anger in here! Doesn't this say though that nothing is going to happen unless you tell it to re-warp? To run the new Auto-Warp algorithm on clips within an existing Live Set, use any of the Warp From Here commands (found in the Sample Editor's context menu) from any location in a clip. Yes i...

The reason for the new warping algorithm is because it's MUCH more accurate at analyzing longer files than the previous method. And so why does it RE analyse existing material. My recordings. Why does it affect existing materials? If it produces the same analysis result then it's not necessary to r...

Can we just hear once again the reason for the new auto warp? Because I'm not sure I understand it . So far my impression is that it's a new analysis method for auto warping some long audio which was not previously warped or analysed. DJ tracks. Other peoples songs. That sort of thing. So for exampl...

Has anyone explained why this change has been forced on users. This enforced rewarding of our existing material seems very unnecessary and the justification has been presented to my knowledge as "it's better when you drag a long track in to get warped". Well I pretty much never ever do tha...

i created a songs folder in the user library to make sure all my ableton stuff is in "root" user library :P but this was my issue, in my case :P Just to reiterate - never do that. There are many reasons, the only one I'll mention is: one day you will say "where have all my songs gone...

Just thinking like a capitalist, because that's how all this works in the end, Suite is at least $530 right now, where do they fit that in? it's $1k for the stand alone engine, $1k for the controller. IMO it would end up consting at least $2,500 for Push 3 with Suite unless they dropped the price o...

Live 11.3 is re-calculating all the asd files (analysis files) for each audio file used in your set. Did you wait a bit Live finish this before playing your live set ? Do you have the same issue with a set with no audio in it or a new set ? Yes, but it isn't meant to run that feature when loading o...

Does anyone know how I can downgrade to the previous version? Live is practically unusable for me in its current state. Go to your account here, https://www.ableton.com/en/account/ click the link that says Download Archive, and choose the 11.2 version. I used the "install over" / replace ...

I wrote a sequencer where the logic was in JS... Cool! Thanks for sharing that example. In my case, I think I need the MIDI processing to be done in "real time," and it seems like the JS thing won't work for that. One way you might find is ro let all the max native objects do the time bas...
