Live 8.1.1 is online! (change log included)

[Alex]

Dear All,

We have just released Live 8.1.1, the latest bugfix update.
Every Live 8 and Suite 8 owner can use this version.

Please note: If you own Suite and have already installed Suite 8.1, then you can download the Live 8.1.1 installer which has a smaller download size.

Please note: Live Lite and Live Intro are not yet supported with Live 8.1.1.

Kind Regards,
/Alex




Changes from Live 8.1 to Live 8.1.1


Bugfixes:

A very short MIDI note at the beginning of a clip would not be audible. [6130]

Recording via 'Resampling' would not properly compensate latency. [6124]

Under certain conditions, it would be possible to get 2 Arranger tracks highlighted. [6144]

In the Arranger, punch In/Out would delay notes by the 'punch in time' in beats. [6167]

Using the pads of the Akai MPD18 would not work properly.

Having a Live set with particular Drum Racks could increase the CPU usage of the main thread, which would result in very slow graphical updates. [6181]

Certain operations like sample crop/reverse/replace would remove the tempo envelope. [6179]

Using Novation's Launchpad, when switching between Automap and Live control would not work properly.

Under certain conditions, editing or creating parameter automation would not work properly. [6188]

Playing a 32-bit audio file immediately after a 16-bit audio file could cause a click in the audio. [6152]

Moving the last track out of a track group onto a closed group track in the Arranger could crash Live. [6193]

In the Auto Pan device, switching shape to random would not show the 'Width' knob. [6192]

Loading a Max device would crash if Pluggo was already active.

It would not be possible to create a new Project in the File Browser if the root is set to 'Workspace'.

Fine tuning of macro knobs would not work via key modifier. [6180]

Starting clips via the Launchpad while changing parameters via mouse could crash Live. [6143]

Under certain conditions, extracting an existing groove from a clip would crash Live. [6235]

Having a Max device sending many blob changes during saving could crash Live.

A malformed database file would interrupt user interactions like renaming files, saving presets, recording, etc. [6230]

Having a particular Live set loaded and searching for media files could crash Live. [6241]

On Mac OS X, under certain conditions, making Live the foreground window could lead to a crash.

The context menu of a frozen clip would have enabled audio fades commands. [6253]

In the Arranger, changing the mixer properties like volume, pan etc. would not show the changed value in the status bar. [3238]

Having a multi selection of Arranger track and use the 'Show Automation' command would destroy the selection. [6243]

Choosing a custom VST directory within the preferences would not keep this new directory until the next start of Live if the required rescan leads to a crash. [6190]

On Mac OS X, duplicating a track with Fab Filter Twin 1+2 could crash Live. [6063]

The Looper display would use the wrong colour in 'play' mode. [6234]

Holding SHIFT + Space Bar would make the transport play button flicker. [6227]

Wow, the "free" update is online, I'll create a new splashscreen and name it Live 9...

If the named changes are finally fixed for real (will try some of them especially those I stumbled upon) usability has made a steep rise. Thank you in advance!



@all who stated Live 8 in several threads as stable before:
Did you never came into one single situation which is mentioned in the changelog? I ask myself, are you doing more with Live 8 than firing clips?

Hi folks,

Just to clarify - this is definitely not the end result of the work that Gerhard discussed in his post. This is just the first step.

While we think we've fixed the bugs listed in the changelog, the entire development team will continue to work on bugfixing for the foreseeable future.

Best,

Thanx for pointing that out.

A very short MIDI note at the beginning of a clip would not be audible. [6130]

Having a Live set with particular Drum Racks could increase the CPU usage of the main thread, which would result in very slow graphical updates. [6181]

Many thanks. That drove me crazy.

Okay I'm confused. If we download the smaller version (for those who already have Live 8.1) do we need to have both versions (8.1 AND 8.1.1) installed simultaneously? I'm on OS X here.
