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.
stop making sense. its much easier to mud sling at Ableton.***

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.
^^ This & the fact that Offline rendering or freezing to disk of Virus Ti tracks is not supported.
I'm going back to Acid 'Pro'....... :x

Live has no bezier curves. :x

All 'Pro' DAWs have bezier curves.

I can't understand how all the 'pros' using Live have managed without bezier curves.

They must not be real pros at all, just deluded bedroom hacks.

heh. I think the real reason so many of us don't really give a shit about bezier curves is because we use live as an instrument. I don't draw curves in Arrangement view. I play them (wait for it) LIVE by mapping a knob and performing the curve into the software.

+1 for Live as an instrument and not a "DAW"

With bedrooms like that, I can only begin to imagine the amount drugs they all consume.

It's no wonder the poor non pro protools users are soooo deluded. :mrgreen:

It's not about the tool, but rather the skill of the artist wielding the tool.

Having said that, this is still the best tool for the artist.

Yea spline automation is must for complexed sequencing. It gives the best result with the least amount of hassle, even while working on a small screen laptop.

sorry if this is a little OT guys, but i was so having this problem and then decided to post here... so i was like drawing some music and found out that Live wont let me draw my music with curves... i was like 8O so, this friend of a friend of a friend was over and he says "why don't you just play it?"

what is this 'play it'?

does Live have that feature?

if so, is it MIDI or audio?
