Export not working

Post by luxxury » Mon Dec 13, 2021 8:10 pm

Just upgraded everything, got a new MacBook M1Max 16" 32 GB RAM and DL'd a clean copy of 11.0.12. Slowly rebuilding my setup one plugin at a time and things were working until today for some reason.

A session I'd created on my old machine (2013 Macbook Pro 15") had been running smoothly on the M1, indeed it was much faster and smoother, making me glad I made the switch. But then suddenly it stopped letting me export. I'd exported a few earlier versions of the same session without problems. The only new thing I've done was I was playing with Izotope Ozone 6 presets just to see if they would work (officially they do not but some plugs still work via Rosetta 2, they just aren't officially supported). Anyway the plugs worked but definitely slowed things down. Still, even when I disable or even delete them it still doesn't work.

The button is greyed out until I mouse over it, when I click on it it "activates" (changes color, as if it has been selected) but then de-selects and does nothing. I've tried every combination of export (Wav, Aif, Mp3 on off etc), trashed the prefs, restarted the machine; tried exporting from a brand new empty session with just a kick loop, nothing fixes it. Anybody else have this issue, or know how to fix? Thanks!

Maybe try the beta version of Live 11, since that is the only version that currently supports M1 chips natively. I'm guessing there's something going on with your plug ins under Rosetta, so this way you can rule that out.

Thank you - I will try this and report back.

EDIT: I entered my email at https://ableton.centercode.com to sign up for the beta about 2 hours ago and haven't gotten a verification email yet. I checked my spam & tried a few different emails, not sure if this is normal. I will wait a bit longer but if there's another way to get the beta please lmk!

Still no verification email to allow me to try the Monterey-friendly beta, I've used several emails now...is this normal?

Also new wrinkle - not only can I not export but I can't save either...both functions simply not an option any more.

I trashed everything (app, preferences, misc files), redownloaded 11 and reinstalled. Did not help.

Very frustrating, as I need to begin one last project before the holidays and I can't save or render anything...any help appreciated...

I think they send the invites out in batches, so you might be waiting a little while (I think it's taken a couple of weeks for me before).
