CTRL + Z still not working

Post by fullthrottledub » Wed Sep 15, 2021 3:29 am

pretty sure i'm not alone on this one, my Undo/ctrl + Z is STILL bugged. everytime I make a mistake and attempt to undo it, it just says something along the lines of "Volume Re-do Midwave" or something with 'midwave' in it.


HELLO ABLETON DEVS???? PLEASE???? THIS IS PRETTY FREAKING SOFTWARE BREAKING.

some plugins seem to capture every minute movement as a single action, so dragging an EQ node from one place to another in one mouse movement may be treated as a large number of very tiny moves, each with its own undo. not sure if that's necessarily a DAW problem (it may be), or a plugin problem.

is it happening for every change in Live, or just for a single plugin?

It's a plugin issue...

Not totally true. Did you test in another DAW? Does the problem happen also in this other DAW? If so, then you can say the problem is with the plugin. Otherwise, it's Live's problem.

"..be treated as a large number of very tiny moves, each with its own undo..." -> yes, some plugins do that but, even then, if you keep CTRL+Z pressed it usually undos all those tiny actions correctly.
