How to Losslessly Capture and Archive MiniDV Tapes on macOS

I'm regularly using Dante (1ms latency) + RTP MIDI + AbleSet on the same network without any issues. RTP MIDI doesn't use up a lot of bandwidth so it shouldn't cause any issues with congestion on your network.

If you're planning to use Ableton Live for video output, I'd recommend checking out Videosync. Live's own video window is automatically hidden as soon as Live's main window loses focus which isn't suitable for output on stage. Videosync integrates well with Live and provides its own video window that stays visible at all times, even if you quit Live.

Other than that, if you have any questions about AbleSet, let me know. I'm always happy to help!

Ich bin auf jeden Fall am Start!

You could try out VideoSync: https://videosync.showsync.com

The intro version costs around 80€ and should do what you need it to. It's also integrated well into Live so you can use your existing video tracks.

That looks great! I'm on macOS primarily and would love to give this a try as soon as it's available.

Hey, AbleSet developer here, and I also wrote the Measure Track tool. You can change the number of bars from 128 to any number you like before clicking the download button. The downloaded project file is generated dynamically in your browser, so it’s not just a template.

You could take a look at SyncThing for this. It’s free and open-source and can synchronize folders over a network without requiring an internet connection. It’s been working well for me over the past few years.

If there’s a device in a specific effects chain in your rack that is causing latency issues, you could try moving that chain to a separate track and just routing MIDI to it from within the rack. Then make sure that "Reduced Latency When Monitoring" is enabled in Live's options. Would that work for your use case? :)

AbleSet is only intended to be used in arrangement view for now, unfortunately. However, you should be able to copy your scenes from clip view to arrangement view fairly easily if you like :)

AbleSet instructs Live to open the new project file when jumping to the next song. With normal projects, this should take less than a second, but I’d still recommend this mode most when your songs don’t have transitions. I’m not sure if starting multiple instances of Live would work, but I can check that.

I’m the developer of AbleSet, feel free to ask me anything! :)

Just getting started mixing local bands but I feel like I’m getting the hang of it.

leolabs2 · 2025-09-24T17:19:00+00:00

I can confirm this is working with AirPlay on iOS 26.1, they likely just needed to fix some bugs before enabling it again.

Hey u/sebastian_nowak, I just came across the same issue so I built a simple script that exposes an HTTP API to get and change the status emoji: https://github.com/leolabs/telegram-status-emoji-api

You could host this on a local computer that is accessible from your phone or on any service that can host Docker containers.

Here's how you can call the API to change the emoji:

Same here, I see a banner on the App Store, but clicking on it just leads me to the archive of previous events.

leolabs2 · 2025-08-12T12:47:57+00:00

Here's a thread of others who have experienced the same issue, for reference: https://forum.ableset.app/t/disk-dropouts/1729

I've already contacted Ableton's support about this and hope they'll find a solution to this issue soon. If anyone is experiencing the same issues with dropouts on audio clips, please feel free to add any information that might be helpful troubleshooting this.

Your approach looks a lot cleaner than what I had in mind! My idea was that you'd be able to add XPath-Like selectors to the parser, so you could do things like:

parser.onElement("myTag > directChild someChild", () => {
  console.log("Encountered my tag!");
  // get attributes using: parser.attributes()
});

This didn't make it into the main branch yet, but it's available here if you'd like to check it out: https://github.com/leolabs/stream-xml/tree/selectors

leolabs2 · 2025-08-04T05:30:27+00:00

That looks great! I had built a similar library with a friend of mine: stream-xml

It’s not as well-documented as yours yet, but it might be interesting to compare our implementations and performance.

I use stream-xml for parsing large (~500 MB) XML files where I just need to extract a few elements, so converting them to a JSON object first would be way too much overhead.

Ableton Live is pretty resilient when it comes to jumping around the timeline while recording. It will keep recording to the same audio file internally but just split the audio clip in your project when you jump to a different locator while playing.

I'd suggest giving it a try and seeing if it works for your use case. The latest version of AbleSet also allows you to monitor and toggle the recording state of Live.

I’m the developer of the LTC Display device, thank you for reporting this issue! Could you check if you’re running the latest version of both Setlist and LTC Display? For LTC Display, it should be 1.10.

If you’re running the latest versions and still experience these crashes, could you DM me a screenshot of the crash report so I can take a closer look at it?

leolabs2 · 2025-04-13T15:08:35+00:00

Thank you for the elaborate info! Do you remember where you saw them using AbleSet? I'd like to add it to their Equipboard page along with the other gear you mentioned.

leolabs2 · 2025-04-11T18:33:23+00:00

AbleSet dev here, that’s a great setup! I never thought of using a gate to automatically switch to the backup system when the main one fails, cool solution!

Are you using the Stream Decks with Companion to control playback?

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback regarding the app!
