Browser Filtering when searching 'All Results'

Post by puzahki » Sat Nov 06, 2021 2:08 am

Love the CMD F function in Lives browser, very fast workflow. It would be great if you could refine your search with metadata filters such as BPM, Key, Genre etc similar to something like Splice.
Also a way to filter .adv files as well for eg being able to separate FX from instruments. I realise you can simply search in the appropriate macro categories but CMD +F is such a fast and efficient way to access tools, it would be great to see this refined :)

You can sort search results in the browser by right-clicking in the browser header and selecting the sort category/order. In the pic below I've searched the word "dub" sorted by type, and as you can see it's showing Audio Unit presets, followed by .aiff's etc

You can type "adv" after a space, if you want to search Device Presets.

Name of other stuff in Live work too, like "drum" for drum racks, "operator" for Operator presets, etc. , you don't need to type the whole word, for example. "bass oper" is enough to filter the results to Operator Racks/presets with "bass" in the name.

"Adg", "alc", "alp", " agr", etc. work too, "plugin", "vst", the names of devices, etc.
