Internal change counter???

Post by Sureno » Sun Nov 17, 2019 4:32 pm

Could someone shed some light on what this is or does please? I first became aware of it when I added an extra track using a shortcut but when I came to undo that addition using cmd+z it didn’t work so at first I thought it was my keys so I clicked edit and went to look at undo and it said (undo”internal change counter”) I have to on average undo this about 40x before the track is removed???

Sounds like you have a M4L device in your set which has this parameter

So best thing is scrap m4l prefs? I had a m4l device saved as my default audio and midi tracks, should I need to delete Ableton prefs or just save new default audio and midi tracks?

Some M4L devices just have that problem due to how they are built, you either fix them yourself, ask the dev to fix it (but the device may depend on working like external user input, and hence it may not be fixable), remove the device or live with the problem.

But "scrapping m4l prefs" won't do nothing.

Maybe you could tell which device is used ?
MacBook Pro 13" Retina i7 2.8 GHz OS 10.13, L10.0.1, M4L.
MacStudio M1Max 32Go OS 12.3.1

Ok yeah it had to do with a device that was set as default in any track added, I reset the default tracks and everything works flawlessly now. Many thanks for your guys input, I tried everything but re saving a default track layout which had been driving me crazy up until now
