I have recently been messing around with Lives Macro contols to play intruments. While I was testing out different presets I was also naming some of the macro controls and discoverd something interesting but confusing..
I went from using NI MAssive, and named all 8 macros, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h,
then...
I switched presets to Abletons Analogue and named these macros 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
The problem was that when I called up the automation lanes on Lives Analogue, the names of the macros stayed as letters, in the arrangement view, enven though I had already renamed each Macro to numerical values. This caused confusion, because I do not set-up the racks' controls the same for each instrument, and had to constantly go back and reference the controls to make sure Im editing the right parameter.
I hope this helps for testing. Has anyone else noticed something like this.
