Better canvassing the manufacturer, they would have to do it in association with Ableton.

This request is very unspecific. Is there a control script today? What works? What doesn't work?

My chat with softube support

"
Hi Adam,

This is David at the Softube Support. Thanks for reaching out!

A deeper integration between Console 1 and Ableton (and all major DAWs) is definitely something we would like to see. This is something that we must work on together with the DAW vendors though.

The more other DAWs that we get this support from, the more leverage we will have when negotiating, so with it in place in Cubase, Reaper, Studio One and Sonar, some others will likely follow. Unfortunately I can’t give any time frames or promises at this point though.

I will save your mail as a Feature Request, but it might also be a good idea to contact Ableton and let them know that this is something you'd like to see happen.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for your support!

Best regards,
David

What's unclear to me is why Console 1 doesn't support some Mackie protocol. Wouldn't that get all those unsupported points working at once?

+1
Also would like to be able to control volume, pan, mute, solo and switch tracks in Live by using the Console 1... works like a charm in Studio One, but I really would appreciate to be able to stay in Live even for mixing.

If you want to help make the case for this, send a feature request to Ableton support.

I sent this in July
The Softube Console 1 has the ability to control volume, pan, solo, mute, and synchronize track selection for other DAWs, and I would like to request this feature in Live 10. I know this would require work from both Ableton and Softube, so this is really just an effort to get more demand from another Live 9/10 Suite and Push 2 owner. I originally requested this feature with Softube who suggested I open a request with both vendors. I have attached their feature compatibility matrix for the Console 1 recall integration for reference.
And I got this back:
Jul 12, 01:56 PDT

While Softube's Console 1 software is supported via AU plug-in on Mac OS, we are currently exploring further development of the Console 1 VST (along with Softube) to offer better integration.

This is something that our developers are currently aware of, and hopefully, changes will be implemented in the near future. Your request is being monitored along with other, similar requests for Console 1 VST support and integration.

Hi Afturmath, that sounds promising! - I just sent a feature request via the support form too! Thanks for sharing your effort.

+1 (don't have one yet but I'm interested). Ableton has worked together with Novation for close integration of SL MKIII, so I don't see why they shouldn't also work alongside Softube.

So have Softube paid Ableton to create a Remote Script so that they can sell more of their product? Thats the question to ask the manufacturer not Ableton.

+1

Been using console 1 for a while, but this keeps me from using it for mixing solely.

Pleease, work on this a little bit harder. Else i will need to look for another DAW for Mixing, i guess.

+1 for full Console 1 integration.

I know the AU version works better than the VST currently (AU supports Track Name/Number. But not more).

I'd love to see full integration, as found in Studio One, Reaper and others. I've fully integrated the Console 1 into my mixing workflow, and would like to be able to use it for tracking as well.

That really requires the additional integration to work. So we kind of need all of it:
- Synchronized track selection
- Control of DAW volume and pan
- Control of DAW solo and mute
- Control of DAW send levels
- Automatic transfer of track name (currently supported in Live, but is AU-only on MacOS)
- Automatic transfer of track number (currently supported in Live, but is AU-only on MacOS)

Those last two are appreciated (it's a lot harder to manage the overall workflow without those basics). It's the same in Logic X currently, only name/number transfers. But they've said they're going to add full support soon!

So, here's hoping we can enjoy the same with Live... fingers crossed!

Just got console 1 and it’s a shame that it doesn’t fully integrate as it was intended too within Live, but it sounds and works so good I can put up with it for now!

+1 from me, let’s get this sorted!
