How to bypass every audio effects at once?

Post by JunL » Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:29 am

Hello.

I started to use Ableton 8 recently and have a question about bypassing function in Ableton,
so I tried to post here to aske a question.

I'm wondering if there is a function or a button to bypass every audio effects in all tracks at once.
(ie : "bypass all audio effects" button in Sonar X1)

When I make a music with MIDI sequencing in the previous Ableton project that is already mixed with various audio effects(including 3rd vsts), I need to turn every audio effects off because of slow latency. But it would be too slow to turn every plugins off manually. So I'm trying to find the button or function or trick to turn every audio effects off at once.
Is there anyone who know about it please five me some advice.

Thanks
JunL

you can even selecting them all by holding shift and then switch one off, if they all are selected they'll all switch off -an alternative to grouping them -which makes sense most of the time, it's nice to be able to group fx.

Thanks for the reply.
Grouping and key mapping with same key works well :)
Nice Tip.

I use Ableton Live 11 and none of this works. Linked tracks don´t even change the volume at once. Holing shift doesn´t work neither. This is very needed feature when you mix and want to A/B between with and without FX. BY now you would have to click through each track and disable all FX manually and by the time you done this you completely forgot how the mix sounded with FX.

click the 'link' icon on one of the track headers first, then move a volume fader/pan/etc.

ah I know what you mean. But this is just for volume and Panning etc. I need it to turn of all the effekts on the selected tracks at once like you can in pro tools. It´s very important when you mixing. Right now you would have to turn each effekt on and of individually. Imagine doin that for 15 tracks with several plugins on it.

I'm also looking for this feature. I need it for mixing but also for tracking. So I can turn off all plugins before recording to minimize cracks/pops due to CPU strain from the plugins. But then I wanna hear the playback with the plugins.

i think this recently updated plugin is the best solution for bypassing effects for A-Bing:
