Automatically enable External Sync on project start?

Post by CountDooku » Sat Oct 15, 2022 3:29 pm

I am an extremely lazy man, and find having to click on "EXT" every time I open my project painful and uninspiring :wink:

is there a way to setup live so it automatically syncs to external clock so I can get on with my life?

many thanks.

Let me check if it’s doable via M4L.
MacBook Pro 13" Retina i7 2.8 GHz OS 10.13, L10.0.1, M4L.
MacStudio M1Max 32Go OS 12.3.1

It doesnt seem doable with the LOM..
I tried to save a template with EXT enable, but the template doesnt remember that...
I think you will have to push it each day.;)

How about a macro, like Keyboard Maestro (OSX). Assign a keystroke to open Live and hit the sync button.

Isn't this button key/midi mappable? (I'm not in front of Live atm)
Well, that would still require to press some kind of button indeed...

No, it's not mappable. It would be doable with a good macro/automator type software. I love Keyboard Maestro, I'm sure there's something similar for the PC world.
