Hello,
I have a Problem to select the Live version.
I run a Student Version of Ableton 10 and Ableton 11.
In both cases it's not possible to select a live Version.
Only something like Phython but it does not work.
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\ --> this Path is for Windows otherwise I can't find such a path shown in the other example. Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Ableton\
Is It the same path like it's for the live log.txt file?
Or is it because I have installed my Ableton not in C:\ HDD.
The reason can be one of these:
1. you set the live folder to a different location than Ableton's default.
2. Your operating system is not 'English' meaning your 'user' folder is named something else (i.e. if french 'utilisateur')
I do see ableton rewire as an option when creating both an aux bus and ext midi track. It's strange since Cubase and Pro Tools can both trigger Ableton to recognize that it should launch in Slave mode. Something tells me that Logic is not do something when I set the Rewire Behavior setting in the preferences. I've tried trashing Logic preferences and then resetting my preferences again but still no luck.
i was having the same issue, and it was just working yesterday on a trial version of live 9, so i had to figure what happened, well i found my version 7, then installed it, then with my maschine, came a version 8, i installed that, cause i wasn't buying 9 just yet, then i started getting these rewire errors.
One of the most significant benefits of Ableton Live is its versatility. The software can be used for all kinds of musical genres ranging from electronic dance music (EDM) to classical compositions with ease. Another benefit is its live performance capabilities. This feature makes it ideal for DJs as well as live performers who need fast access to sound effects and samples during their shows or performances.
One of the most important factors for many users to upgrade to Standard from one of the lower-tier editions is the inclusion of Audio-to-MIDI conversion; allowing live recordings or samples to be transformed into playable melodic phrases with minimum effort. All these tools give musicians plenty of room for creativity without overwhelming them with too much choice which can risk slowing productivity down. So when it comes down to choosing between Ableton Live Standard vs Suite- anyone who wants high quality production software on a budget should definitely check out what this middle tier option has got going for it!
When it comes to choosing between Ableton Live Standard and Suite, the primary difference is in the features and tools available. While both versions of Ableton Live offer great functionality for music production, DJing, and live performance, the Suite version offers additional instruments, effects, sounds and packs that are not found in the standard version.
In certain cases, incoming data may also come via callback. Examples of this can be found in the abletonSong1_callbacks DAT. Python callbacks are beyond the scope of this guide, but if you know a little Python, looking in this DAT will reveal the examples which set the locatorByCallback and sceneByCallback textTOPs.
Data to be sent out to Ableton is usually sent via parameters. If you go to the Ableton Song parameter page of abletonSong1 you will see the Play, Loop, and Tempo parameters which set the corresponding values in the Live Set. The abletonChain1 component shows examples of using CHOP exports to automatically change an outgoing parameter and thereby change a value in Live.
In the previous section, abletonSong1 shows data for the entire Live Set. Most TDAbleton Components are made for observing particular parts of a Set. For example, abletonParameter is used to get and set the value of a single Ableton Device Parameter. As you can see in the Component's parameters, this one is set to work with Track: 1 Muugy, Device: Pitch, and Parameter: Pitch. In Ableton Live, navigate to that device and you will see that its Pitch value is being mirrored in TouchDesigner.
TDAbleton uses menu parameters to navigate the Live Object Model. For example, all available Tracks, including Returns and the Master, will be shown in the Track parameter. Once you have selected a Track, its available Devices will be shown in the Device parameter, and so on down. To see other examples of this, take a look at the abletonTrack1 Component, which observes a single Track, and the abletonChainParameter1 Component, which gives access to Ableton Device Parameters within sub-chains such as those in an Instrument Rack.
Note: You can change the Pitch value in Ableton by changing the Value Send parameter on abletonParameter1, but notice that this stops Ableton's automation of that parameter. This is another reason why Auto Sync is not always desirable.
The abletonMIDI1 Component has a unique feature: a Max For Live device is necessary in order to get MIDI data out of Ableton Live. Each abletonMIDI component is connected to a specific TDA MIDI device in Live. If you look on the 1 Muggy Track in the Ableton Set, you will see the TDA MIDI device.
TDA MIDI devices in your Live set should be created from TouchDesigner by using the Add TDA MIDI Device pulse parameter on an abletonMIDI Component. Just select the Track to put it on and press that button.
The smoothest way to control and watch Live's parameter values from TouchDesigner is using the abletonRack component, and its corresponding Max devices in live. These racks can be created in Live using the pulse buttons on the abletonRack component. For an example, look at the device chain in the "2 Muggy" Track in the Demo Set.
The general strategy for using these racks is to put the Live device whose parameters you want to control and/or watch into the rack. Then map the appropriate rack macros to the parameters you want to interact with. This will create a fast connection between those parameters and the corresponding abletonRack device. For more information, see abletonRack.
Live is essentially a hard disk-based audio player and recorder that takes advantage of today's fast processor speeds and disk access times, and combines them with some blistering time-stretch ('warping') algorithms to deliver what can only be described as an astonishingly fast, innovative and intuitive tool to compose, arrange and play music. It allows musicians to combine almost any audio, be it on their hard disk or recorded from scratch, with anything else, virtually 'on the fly'. You can audition material from hard disk alongside running program sequences, drop in live overdubs that can be triggered back off disk in an instance (remember 'Frippertronics'?), change tempo while all this is going on, and a lot more. All of this can be done mixing most common file formats, sample rates and bit depths for maximum flexibility and speed.
Live 4: This version of Ableton Live contained the biggest update until now. Live 4 introduced MIDI support, built-in software instruments such as Impulse, Simpler, and Operator, follow actions, and much more. Its interface started to take shape by combining live performance together with professional music production.
Music Tech Showcase 2021: Across its 20 year history Ableton Live has reshaped electronic music, blurring the lines between recording and performance, tool and instrument. Here we take a look at 10 of the key developments that have shaped the go-to live DAW over its influential lifespan.
Here is a Theme for Live11 which i once made, and which did not find its way in the official distribution. It comes with a screenshot showing the location in which it needs to be installed. On MacOS you'll need to right click on the app in Finder to get to 'Show Package Contents', and from there see screenshot: monolake-theme-live11.zip I recommend setting in the Prefs 'Grid Line Intensity' to a low value ( 20?).
I ran into a problem today where ableton would just crash and said it was going to disable the vst. I deleted all my Rack plugins and reinstalled rack just to be sure. Restarted live, then it worked. I think I had a bad plugin left over from beta testing.
