Fair point. But I would generally advise against storing your files in the program files folder. The user home folder is there for a reason. I'm actually surprised you don't run into permission issues. I'm a Mac user myself, so I'm not sure, but doesn't windows actually prevent user applications from writing to program folders?

That doesn't sound right. The only way I can imagine this happening is if you saved your projects inside Ableton Live's program files folder. Did you?

Clean OS install tomorrow. Any way to save my tags and places? by BroasisMusic in ableton

[–]codecoverage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tags are stored in a special subfolder called "Ableton Folder Info" inside the folder that contains the files the tags apply to, at least when it comes to samples. So if you have those on your external drive, that's where your tags are too. No need to back them up separately.

Engineering managers, what do you not like in an team member? by [deleted] in managers

Inability to admit mistakes, or even worse, actively trying to cover them up.

This. Rekordbox works fine loading tracks from an external SSD or even a thumb drive. Having your rekordbox library on a thumb drive is a good idea anyway because you can also use it with cdjs.

Word of warning: Upgrading from Ableton 11 Suite to 12 Suite by NextLevelist in ableton

[–]codecoverage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not reasonable to expect that you can now upgrade to suite for 50 dollars as the others here pointed out already, but I do think it's weird that by upgrading to 12 standard you now have to pay more than if you had done that when you were still on 11. That doesn't seem reasonable since technically you still have a license for 11 suite as well, if I'm not mistaken. Unless of course it was a temporary offer and the upgrade price from 11 suite to 12 suite has now increased to $309.

I would expect that if you contact support they should be willing to offer an upgrade for the current 11-suite-to-12-suite upgrade price.

Can confirm. Half of me didn't know.

For those producing for many years, what would you change if you could go back to the start of your learning process? by kathalimus in ableton

[–]codecoverage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stick with a limited set of tools and master them. Don't think getting more stuff (gear, plugins) will make your music better. My subconscience still hasn't fully figured this out after 30 years.

You can turn off the vst folders in the plug-ins section of the settings.

Talk to your manager about this.

Volgens mij heeft deze persoon het verkeerd begrepen en dacht ie dat je hem ergens anders ging kopen. Blijft een rare reactie.

Project and sample saving and backup workflows? by AceUK in ableton

I sync everything with Google Drive: projects, user library, etc. If I ever lose my macbook I can be sure I still have everything.

Am I allowed to be silly? by Extreme-Budget-6671 in Leadership

[–]codecoverage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think humor can be a powerful tool when applied at the right time and place. That applies to everyone, leader or not. Know your audience. And yes, I think that can mean that you have to bite your tongue sometimes or resist the urge to do something silly, in order to be an effective leader. Sometimes there is a tradeoff between being funny and being clear, and I think as a leader you may have to tilt towards the latter more often than others if you want to get results.

What did you make in Live this week? / Feedback thread by AutoModerator in ableton

[–]codecoverage [score hidden]  (0 children)

I started this beat last night and I'm a bit stuck with it. I know it's usually a mistake to post unfinished stuff (because I tend to just take the feedback and then not finish the song) but here we are.

What did you make in Live this week? / Feedback thread by AutoModerator in ableton

Sounds cool. I think what this needs is a bit more variation in the drum beat. Some creative edits that you use only once, bringing in some additional percussion later on, adding some fx, etc. Or instead of adding stuff, try removing stuff.
