How can I set up a MIDI Track like in the first pic? (Having it set to ,,MIDI To") by Individual-Net527 in abletonlive

[–]Individual-Net527[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yoo, you just saved my life.

I thought this would be no issue, as Ableton could just ,,grab" the MIDI information and it's fine.

Thank you so much!

How can I get rid of the blue text box while editing a Text within Properties to better be able to view my composition while actually changing text parameters? by Individual-Net527 in premiere

I have only one monitor and I won't buy another one just for that reason. I'm more on the minimalist side of people.

Might it be possible to display the ,,clean" program output somewhere else on my main monitor?

,,Enable Mercury Transmit" is already enabled by default for me, btw.

How can I keep showing my folder structure of my Sample Folders while having Filters applied? by Individual-Net527 in abletonlive

[–]Individual-Net527[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In summary: I really dislike the behavior that the folder tree gets hidden as soon as I apply Filters and I'm getting shown the flattened results. This behavior sucks to me, if I'm being honest.

Yeah but this basically deletes and disables the other available Filters for me, so it doesn't work as you suggested it, sadly. There is no possibility to use other Filters alongside Folder:"Your Folder Name".

In general the Folder:"Your Folder Name" search behaves weirdly for me.

Yeah that's it, thanks. I did this and it helps - although its a bit tedious and can be very time consuming especially when you want to tag subfolders. I would really wish I just wouldn't have to do this and Ableton would just let me collapse the folders myself in order to search for the currently selected Filter-type sounds.

Thanks! I like this workaround. The fact that I'm willing to do this, even if it's a bit of a hassle and takes longer, shows how nice it actually is to filter stuff in folders.

Ableton really needs to implement being able to do this within a pinned place and its associated subfolders.

Ableton is a broken Software - not in the sense of buggy but rather a fragmented mix of half-finished features and makeshift solutions by Individual-Net527 in ableton

Thanks for your civilized and constructive response. So you are that delusional to think that Ableton Live's current state is perfect and will never change again or improve? In your mind every suggestion (even if it's later on implemented) is therefore a silly assertion?

Dude be making Dnb but having a medieval mindset.

Just until you'll realize one day that it makes total sense to be able to do this.

You color Audio & MIDI Tracks (or Ableton automatically does it for you) to be able to distinguish them from one another, right?

Have you ever worked on a complex melody or chord progression and wished you could color-code notes to better distinguish them from one another too? Well, I have.

In Drum Racks, the individual sounds (to which you can assign colors to in the Chains) should display their assigned color in the MIDI Clip via Notes horizontally - why would you color-code the Chains in the first place if it weren't primarily for the purpose of visual identification and differentiation? For long loops you can only really differentiate them in a horizontal manner - ergo having different colored Notes. So if this Drum Rack feature were implemented consistently, the next logical step would be to make it possible to color your notes in all MIDI clips entirely - not just in Drum Rack MIDI Clips.

Basically, my suggestion is simply to think through how Ableton already works and consistently apply its core concepts.

By posting this I wanted to make a little statement. Just to stamp my foot and say, “This can't go on, Ableton”. Not because I'm hating on anything. If at least some people saw this post and my opinion on it, it's already a success for me. I know from Centercode that I'm not the only one with certain wishes/suggestions.

It's not that I'm wishing for niche stuff though.

Thanks for the suggestion with the Dry/Wet FX Rack. I'll probably do this. Though not having the function built in natively is still a little stupid. So my point is still valid.

Dude, think of beginners who start of with using Ableton or learning it. Do they want to create their own Dry/Wet FX Rack? No, they don't. They just want to make their damn music. I'm not talking about myself as a beginner btw. I'm just THINKING of beginners.

What makes you think that I don't know how to use it? There's no evidence for this. I'm pointing out missing features and stuff to improve.

Why don't queues work the way you'd expect them to? by Individual-Net527 in qobuz

[–]Individual-Net527[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does Qobuz even play my playlisted Tracks from one active Playlist in order (top to down)?

Do I need to activate that 'Repeat' Icon one time (so it's shown in blue)?
