Nice one!

Unfortunately all the text stays pixelated, which is the most annoying thing for most of us. Still, it's a start, thanks!

One nice thing is, if you use Max 6.1 (high-res-enabled Max), the max for live devices are all in high-res

Firstly, Thank you for this! I've done this several times in OS X Mavericks and only the the menu bar has been in retina. However I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and the new Ableton Live 9.1.5. This fix now makes ALL OF ABLETON retina compatible. This is incredible, I've been waiting over a year for this!

ooooo, wow, Live in Retina Look Thanks a lot!!! Its amazing

Has this been sorted out in Yosemite? Ableton looks hella sexy lately.
