I tried out a demo of live 8 but have decided to stick with 7 for the moment..

Now when I use 7.16 I can't use some midi effects like chords... Plus my internal instrument library is the live 8 version.
How do I get back full use of my midi effects and return my instrument library to it original arrangement????

I have deleted live 8 and this didn't fix the problem...

I am using Ableton live 7
with instrument library 2
on a macbook 2.16 running tiger

It worked fine before and I am sure it'll just be some preference file or something that needs deleted...

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

i guess you don't have a backup? ..

A back up??? Not sure what you mean.... I didn't think it would be necessary since live 8 is past beta testing and on sale. I had no reason to think it would mess up live 7...

I downloaded 7.16 again from ableton's website and replaced the old version, but this did not fix anything....

Hello,

When you install Live 8 on your computer and you have an older Live 7 library, Live asks you to either
create a new library or to convert the old library to the new Live 8 format.
I guess you (accidentally) did the latter.

Yup, you got it right... That looks like thats what I did.... DOH!!!!

Got a reply from ableton support and I got the problem sorted now... took a bit of work but all is fine now... Basically had to delete the library and then rebuild it bit by bit.... Still, the music may now flow once again!

Thanks for the replies though!!!!

You go steady now, !!



Beware the library monster...

Yup, the library monster managed eat up a huge chunk of my day!!!!!!!!!!
