Ableton Forum

Could it be any clearer?

1. it has never been possible to load 3rd party plugins in Live as a Rewire slave. For most of us, that is a deal-breaking level of crippling.

2. it *doesn't even work* as a rewire slave now, with Live 9.

in other words, an already very bad joke just got 1000 times worse.

Logic doesn't let you do that either.

It's as if being a slave is looked at as a bad thing.

and yet it's possible in Reaper and Renoise, those racist fucks.

While the big boy DAWs are arguing “I’m the master!” “No, I am!”

Why would you want to load 3rd party vst in the slave?

Pretty shocking rewire isn't working at the moment. Also I read somewhere Max is not available when rewired, is that true?

Gosh, i dunno, maybe so I can use my thousands of dollars of soft-synths, samplers and FX inside the session view, while having the ability to route audio smoothly into audio channels of the host DAW for mixing and further production and eventual arrangement & mixdown?

sorry for snark, but what is the alternative? having all the power of session view as a sequencer and yet only being able to use it for launching audio clips or recording midi for ableton's handful of suite instruments? lame.

I thought session view didn't work with a traditional linear timeline when Live is slaved as Rewire. Can't believe Max doesn't work.

Max for Live, yes it's true. That's also considered to be a plugin.

This is my biggest pet peeve. Never bought M4L because of that, and it bothers me that they didn't fix this in Live 9.
I would easily upgrade and be happy as a clam if I could rewire Live into DP8 and be able to stilll use the unique to Live features that M4L offers.

The company run by marketing guys no longer give a damn about Rewire.

Understaffed ? I would assume that 150 employees in 22 countries are not that shabby, no ?
I know of smaller (or equally small) software companies which produce software (much) more complex than Ableton and they are/were industry leaders/innovators in their field, also offering excellent support, additional hardware/software etc
According to their website, Ableton is still hiring.

For me it`s important that Apple doesn`t buy Ableton, discontinuing the PC-version, as they did with my beloved Emagic Logic in the past

No matter where you are looking, Live is always counting

Another week, another beta, and still no Rewire fix....

Hi,

Posting here too in case other people overlook the other thread. We fixed Rewire, please try the latest Live 9 beta.

Regards,
Amaury

so uncaring.

Looks like 9.0.3b4 has fixed it (according to the release notes).

EDIT: Yes, this beta appears to have solved the issue. I'm now seeing Live ReWire listed in other s/w.
