Another reason why Ableton is NOT a pro DAW

Post by hmj » Tue Apr 17, 2012 5:30 pm

"Detected Host: Live

Spectral Repair is not supported in this host.

Please not that Spectral Repair is very different from most other audio plug-ins. It first needs to Capture audio from the host, then you can Repair the audio, and finally you must Commit your edits back to the host.

Unfortunately you are using Spectral Repair in a host which doesn't support offline plug-ins at all, or it doesn't support them with the sample-accuracy required by Spectral Repair.

We recommend that you use Spectral Repair in the iZotope RX application which was installed when you installed the RX plug-ins."

This is just another reason it's not used by the people who actually make BIG money in post. Ableton needs to step it up.

if that's critical for you , then...yeh

but for most that would be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater...

Live's workflow is the critical factor (for me)

anyone making the bucks wouldn't be stopped by this. :roll:

edit the audio externally, import it back in.

Agreed, there is no excuse to be stopped and always a workaround for anything but let's not sit here and make excuses for Ableton. We support the crap out of this company and features like Sample Accuracy are not something you can easily work around.

give 'em hell, it makes my copy of Live even better. ;)

while Ableton are waiting for BitWig to drop their load maybe they have time to code up the "nice to haves" now that the "must haves" are in place.

because all PROs use plugins and all plugins must work all the time. :roll:

take that you guitar/bass/strings/piano/drums/horn/vocalist motherfuckers! you don't make PRO music! this thread makes it official! EDM and every plugin on the market is the only thing that will make you PRO. ever.

Solution? Set RX to be your default audio editor.

Select clip, click "Edit", perform your spectral repair tasks, click save, close file.

Simple, obvious workarounds spoil the fun of being an indignant troll.

Isn't this the plugins issue? It's not a real-time plugin, just like Sony Noise Reduction.

You need to upgrade to Live 9 Pro. Works fine for me.

So Spectral Repair is OFFLINE ONLY, and Live is, well I think there just might be a clue in the name.

Yeah it would perhaps be better than not to have support for such a plugin but you can see why a real-time oriented audio engine would not have much use for something that only works in offline mode.

I don't want it to be a "real DAW". I want it to be the best damn host for sequencing audio and video for LIVE performance!
