So, macs arent smart enough to automatically choose souncard

[flowdesigner]

I was hoping that when I unplugged it from my fireface, and opened Live, the built in soundcard was automatically connected.
It just doesnt work. Lame

sorry to hear.

it's lives fault, other programs can do that, peak for example always jumps to the built in I/O if it can't find the last connected card,

other programs automatically prompt you to the choices at the time, etc. every program is dealing differently with it, live sucks in that department, i often criticised that.

making big plans about new functions (or announcing them and then nothing happens) but not even getting the utmost simple basics right.

This.

Logic automatically detects sound cards too.

Really pisses me off when I boot up Live and without fail I have to go into the prefs and fuck around with the soundcard option.

Maybe it is a safety mechanism . Imagine you got the volume really high for that soundcard.

yep!

if at least the popup would show with the right tab open where need to change it (which some other progs do, for example)

that would be already cool, but the need to go through the prefs every single time, i especially don't understand this for a program that is specifically designed for laptop use (live use = laptops) and you pull a laptop permanently in and out of a studio... using more then one soundcard.

get the basics right before any further new function nonsense... live needs to be way more convenient and FAST in use, it is if i can remind them particular for live use! that means every saved second setting the system up in a club / venue is valuable.

sorry not against you at all, but it's bullshit, it is after my knowledge (and i do know the one or other daw) the only one left with such an annoying way of dealing with it.

Yeah, this is one of the annoyances of Live, you can't specify a default card. I often take the laptop outside to work, which means I have to reselect the RME card each time I get back in the studio. As mentioned, in Logic it will always use the RME if connected, or the internal card if it's not. Very convenient.

I will test this on cubase later

One thing I did not like is that ableton wouldn't even open if I had disconnected my native instruments dj audio 4 card

[Pitch Black]

Make sure you get this, it's free!

SoundSource menu bar app. Change audio hardware from the Finder + shortcuts to audio and MIDI prefs.

On pc, double click where it says "off" in the top right hand corner that takes you straight to the sound card settings. Not a total solution I know, but something at least.
