I contacted Ableton about this, and got the following response, which as of yet hasn't worked:

-----
thank you for contacting Ableton and sorry to hear about the problems with Live!

You can try to reset Live completely.

Note: this will erase your template set (if you have one), audio and MIDI hardware needs to be setup again in Live's preferences. Also plug-in support needs to be switched on again.

Do the following:
- close Live
- delete the "Preferences.cfg", "Template.als" and "Undo.cfg" files (if available) from
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live 8.2.5b1/

- delete the content of these two folders:
/Users/username/Library/Caches/Ableton/Cache/Web

and
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Live 8.2.5b1/Database

- restart Live 8.2.5b1

FYI: almost all crashes with Live 8.2.5b1 on your system happened in combination with the VST plug-in xxx Aether. Please check if this plug-in is Lion compatible and if you're running the latest update.

Let me know if the problem with the Audio Unit plug-ins persists!
---------

is this a lion problem and compatibility with certain plugs?

Hi,

The last beta of Live works fine under OSX Lion.
For the third-party plugins, you must go on the editor website to see if it's ok with Lion. Some of them aren't compatible yet

Best,

For what it's worth, I've gotten this under Lion with Logic too. It (Logic) fails to see certain plug-ins that Live can see, and then when I run Live the plug-ins are missing as well. If I stick to Live I don't seem to run into the problem, but if I switch between them it shows up.
