How do I get Live to stop asking me stuff?

Post by Gothboy » Wed Apr 23, 2008 4:33 pm

I'm using Live Lite 6 for Digi. I'm using a softsampler as an AU plugin and everytime I delete a setting in the sampler I get a prompt from Live asking me if I want to delete this or that. I looked in the preferences in Live and I don't see any way to shut this off. Must be a way though. It's just annoying having to grab the mouse and click eveytime I make a change. :roll:

Honestly I'm not being a smart ass but, can't u just hit Enter?
I don't think there is any way to get around that message but I'm on PC and I don't know AU.

No offense taken. :) But you can't just hit enter. I wish it were even just that easy. Live actually has the other option in green...not the delete button. So if you actually want to delete the effect setting in this sampler you actually have to use the mouse to click the delete button in the window. I do a lot of experimenting with effects with this thing and it is nothing short of annoying to have to do this. :?

If you're on a mac, you can hit the first letter of an option to select it.

or use the arrow keys before hitting enter.

there was a period during the betas where no option was a default - so you couldn't use the keyboard at all!

While we're on the topic - when I'm using Live, how do I get my girlfriend to stop asking me stuff?
