Right click the parameter that is being automated (whatever fader is moving) and select "Delete Automation". Alternatively, in arrangement view, UNDER the track title you will see a couple drop down boxes. Select the device/parameter that is being automated (HINT- it has a red dot next to it), and manually delete the automation from there.

Why are you going to Google when Ableton wrote and included the user manual for you. Takes less than a minute to find what you are looking for on page 262.

I usually don't roll like that... This guy made multiple post about the same thing and complaining how there's no answers out there even when others have tried to help him... Spending more time to write post to bash than it would take to just properly look for the answer... But even that didn't bother me that much.

But then I saw how he's got these other high end synths and it just really plucked a nerve cause 90% (my opinion) of people that are using High End (ie. expensive) stuff and not doing any kind of research or using manuals usually fall into 2 groups... People using cracks or rich kids that just want to look cool (that does not apply in reverse, I know many crack users and rich guys who get very deep into manuals... I was one!)

I'm always down to pass on any info or tricks that I've learned, including very basic simple stuff... And I could be wrong about this dude but I don't think so. So sorry If I've offended any of the 'family-vibe' but every now and then I just get tired of people bashing without making any effort to RTFM!

You should understand that 10-year-old wannabe kids never read the fuking manual.

That's a contradiction.10 year old humans are kids by definition.

Just sayin'

A few things, 1 I didn't get a manual, 2 I'm 34, 3 this forum keeps duplicating my posts (think its something to do with my phone) 5 I own one synth that cost me £500 second hand which I bought with my wages and 4 I don't take cracks, but thanks :?

The entire manual can be accessed from within Live through the Help menu.

PS I paid the extra $50 8O for the Live 9 manual...with 7 and 8 it was included free :?

Cheers didn't even think of clicking that, just gone from pc/cubase to ableton/mac, all a bit mind blowing to start with, but thanks for your help

The Live manual is also accessible online as part of their website. Just do a search and viola! I really appreciate their decision to make it so.
