Ableton not including kontakt automation when exporting

Post by SelleDVH » Tue Jan 11, 2022 4:39 pm

-All other automations are included in the export.
-The problem does not occur when exporting "Selected tracks only" or "All individual tracks"
-I used to encounter this problem before, but it was easily fixed by making sure project sample rate and export sample rate were the same, sometimes this would not work but it worked the next time I tried, or reloaded the project, right now after trying like 6 times it never works.

-Newest version of Ableton 11.
-Kontakt 6 (6.6.1) player using Spitfire's Albion One
-MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina.

I hope you can help me.

Is this happening with a single set, or can you reproduce every time?

Definitely, I dont really know where it would make sense to start looking however. What would you suggest to try?

Hard to tell... Maybe start by isolating the problematic track(s) i.e remove the one that export correctly. And then see if exporting now included automations.
Do you have any side chain device, or any type of signal that comes from another track?
Is it happening with every parameter's automation or only some of them? With other Kontakt instruments?
What if you open a new set and drag'n'drop the problematic track from the Browser, and then try to export?

Thanks, I have found a pretty simple workaround actually: just group the entire track, export only the group and tick "include return and mastereffects".

Can you please contact Ableton Tech Support regarding this in order to make sure this is not a bug?
