Looking forward to you going through the live performance tools in arrangement view! Just put together a live set today following your tutorials. Thanks so much for the value.

[vestanpance]

A little surprised to not see dynamic eq become part of the stock. Mind you it gives me a reason to use my fab filter plugin I suppose.

[TeleporterM]

Is there a way to get clip view and the arrangement view in one window.

[TSTBand]

Great vídeo Will!, thank you very much, in my case i would like that Ableton LIve 12 had natively a setlist plugin for live performance purposes.

[omunitTV]

Do we know if it’s working better on the silicon Mac’s now? 11.3 still being problematic for me despite using your really valuable advice which did help (thanks for those)

[gurumonkey]

I love the things you highlighted. Some very cool things that aren't really mentioned much in the Ableton video.

So i have a question about backing tracks!
I have been running backing tracks for years now. Easy-peasy...
I've been at my current church for almost a year... I have helped them with getting the livestream from mono to stereo! Wow, and what a difference doing this can make ANY livestream!
However, when you run backing tracks you send the Click to one side and you send the Tracks to the other... so no matter if you run your whole livestream stereo or not, your tracks will be center mono... It tends to muddy our stereo mix... IS THERE A WAY to take the mono signal of the tracks and split it to make it stereo?
I want our tracks to be stereo as well...
Oh, and I run tracks through ableton!

I would love for us as leaders to figure out how to do this...

I'm thinking
Click > Left side
Tracks > right side > stereo split > 2 direct boxes > 2 channels on the board?

Does this sound right? Is there any easier way to do it?

[jbenavidesgtr]

Hey Will ! Is there any update in all those things Ableton users beg over the ?

-import markers
-track protection (lock)
-Scenes browser
-Append audio regions or .also at any point in the timeline ( so you don't have to move them manually)

[nomad]

2 Things I hope they improve: 1. Bounce in place. 2. Plugin Sandboxing. Or a better way to improve stability. Other than that. I really like what they did in this Version.

[phademusic]

Lovely, have they listened and made it work on android and whatever apple use these days?

[jazzbeats]

is it not possible to install M4L devices for Live 12??

[matthewtyrrell]

Just getting in to using Ableton to do backing tracks for my band - I tried to use your template from a couple of years ago, but the formatting doesn’t work in 12? Everything is in 6/8 and I can’t get it to work properly? How do you make the cues/guide/click master tracks like in your template?

[remyvegamedia]

Dang this video made me hyped about the "boring" stuff that everyone is complaining about. The similarity search, especially in drum rack, is actually really cool.

This browser experience looks nice.

I'm hyped for the synths and plugins, too.

[FWBeck]

Can anyone confirm - when dragging an individual song ALS into a set project in Live 12, it seems to me that the output routing channels and send levels from the tracks of the incoming ALS are not honored, and everything gets rerouted to Main and send levels are zero, requiring all those to be corrected again after importing.

[synthesaurus]

how about customizable keyboard shortcuts? Still nothing?

[bigdap]

🤔 Can you edit Audio in Session View...like Cut, Copy, Paste??
Surely they added that right?

[FWBeck]

Interesting addition of key signature to Live 12. Users of your arrangement view performance template know to use tempo tracks to automate tempo changes across a whole set. Are these tempo tracks also able to automate key changes?

[ArthurBlue-iv]

@fromstudiotostage ...good video thanx...since you are a video person...have you checked if there is a overworked latency compensation for the graphics engine or is it still off with some heavy vsts like restauration vsts....merci

[AndrewSamaniego]

i love the ability to see arrangment AND session view --- I Prefer to mix in session view, something about it just makes sense in my heard, but perform, run tracks in arrangement view

[mikedeproducer]

Can Ableton work on how their faders look… ?
