Options.txt list of functions

Post by Forge. » Thu Feb 09, 2023 6:42 am

It was surprising how out of the way this was and that there isn't a master thread on this forum or in the Ableton knowledgebase.

@Eric, is there a reason? Maybe they don't want to encourage anyone who wouldn't naturally dig...

Hey Forge
I moved this to the Tips & Tricks.
We've seen the list and its various iterations here and there over the years.
It's cool that people can find it imo, "hacking" Live has always been part of experimenting and augmenting it, but there's a lot of stuff in this list that could break features and send crowds to Support asking why the heck Live is a shitty unstable program. There's unfinished features, things that are for various testing purposes, etc...
So, thanks for making it easily available on the forums, but I'm not for pining it... Adventurous users can do a search a find it easily :wink:

A bump as I've discovered the "record arm" and "show/hide plugs" and now use them allot.

I wish there was a way to know which others I could really use, and if they are "unstable".

I also added a "wish list" for Ableton to just integrate the "show/hide" since it's obviously doable (with a couple of neat suggestions)

Live has been a really good ride for about 2 weeks now, but again, if it can be done in a hack, it can likely be implemented in the real world.

That is the thing (insert a certain other competitor here) did when they went to 6, many many many workflow improvements. Reason and Live (which I love both) really can suffer a tad from this. "Ooooo, new devices" when there is a HUGE userbase that would like some simple workflow issues resolved ;)
Live 11.x Suite, Push 2, AMD Ryzen 7900x @ 4.7 GHZ, Windows 11, 32 GB ram, Volt 2, Nektar T4 and Atom SQ.
Also a new lappy: i7 1269, 32 gigs of ram.

Deactivating plugins rescan is now obsolete unfortunately.
