ok that's annoying but it doesn't have to make sense; live is simply recalculating all the asd; which takes a while; well, that's where I'd have to disagree. I think it probably should make sense. I mean, if something is happening, some process which requires a couple of minutes and makes the UI un...

I can understand the point of an improved autowarp if I were dragging unknown waves into a new arrangement. But what I can't understand why "autowarp" is happening at all on files I recorded into a session months ago. These files don't need to be "autowarped". They are 87bpm wave...

So, I'm looking around to try and find out why 11.3.2 behaves so badly, unresponsive on larger sets, redraw errors, firewall alerts etc. There's some talk on reddit that Live 11.3.2 is recalculating all the warping in sets as they load, so apparently if we load a big set "just wait for a bit un...

I updated to 11.3.2 last night and it triggered a strange firewall warning. I had to allow something or other, I just clicked "yes" so I cant remember what it was. But to be honest 11.3.2 seems a bit weird. It's making some sets UI really laggy. I've never had that before so I'm going to r...

Yes. Solution : right click both sends on the PREMASTER channel and deactivate them. That will resolve the delay compensation issues Reason ; premaster could send to itself (via the return) so live will fumble the delay calc unless you deactivate the send on the premaster channel. Theres a section i...

https://www.ableton.com/en/manual/managing-files-and-sets/#5-10-finding-unused-files The downside of this method in newer versions of Live is that now Live automatically makes back ups of your projects as you work. If any of those back ups contain audio files you’re no longer using, they won’t be s...

I think on the "more communication" front I personally enjoy allowing the developers to have a nerdy article on the blog. Something they are passionate about, whether it's Andy Cytomic talking about component modelling or some in house Dev talking about the issues with visualisation of sou...

I actually think the "design by committee" approach is flawed and delivers a watered down product. I think in politics it's called "tyranny by majority" which is a bit extreme but the idea is that the majority of voices don't actually have the best ideas for the future. I'd actua...

Check that the drive location where the projects are located is accessible in your OS. Try and browse to that location in your OS. If the folder has moved, or the path been renamed, then Live won't find the sets.

When routing return trracks to regular tracks it deactivates the latency compensation because you just made it possible to send the output to itself (a circular feedback). Live can't calculate the latency offset of a circle.. To fix this; right click the group/destination's sends ( the sends on the ...

look to the very right of the Session view / mixer view. that's the master track go to arrangement view and look at the bottom of the track view, that's also the master track, it is titled "master". All tracks go through this master track to the main outs (unless you re-routed them from th...

I always hate when people do this but ...

My L11 on PC (win10) loads my default set in under 5 seconds.
No plugins though, just a few native devices on 8 channels, 2 returns.

You can automate the master volume fader, though what I usually do is plonk a Utility on that master channel and fade that.

One thing you might want to do for reference clips is run that channel to the hardware out directly avoiding the master channel and any effects. Then make sure the track crossfader is visible and assign hotkeys to it. Set key mappings for the Reference, the middle( both), and lastly to your track po...

I would go a different route. Try an audio to midi convert. Then replace the instrument with an operator. Set the synth to one oscillator and a square wave, with a lowpass filter (no res). Set it to be monophonic, and make a tight punchy envelope. Now drop it down an octave or two so you have that r...
