Cool stuff! At 11:12 you mention that after doing the stop-track trick, the LIOBOX will automatically select the next song. AFAIK this is not what happens within Ableton (it just stops), so is this a special feature that LIOBOX adds?

[lackwoodmusic]

Also curious about that. Does liobox just see the word stop and then know to stop at that marker?

[ronmaster]

Hi man. Nice stuff.

How do you create auto stop markers a the end of each song?

[howarddavid]

I got the liobox 2, I have the play audio 1U . I went by the directions but everything is in French . I did find some English but I couldn’t download the script as there was no liobox 2 script in the computer :(

Hello sir! Any idea if the MIDI port is pinout A or pinout B? Trying to get an adaptor and don't know which one to buy. Thanks a lot.

[MrDalpe]

Hi bro. Really appreciate what you are doing in this channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have an issue in Ableton.

I have a MacBook Pro with M2 pro chip. When I play VSTs and when I extend my Yamaha Modx with Midi zoning, notes are continue to stuck. (Midi Hanging) I’ve tried everything changed the whole rig except Mac Book. Do you have a solution for that?

[JoshEllis]

does anybody know a shortcut to reboot or reset the Liobox 2?? mine is stuck in midi marker mode.

[danlosd]

This thing is so hard to get in mexico😢

[drhancock]

It would be nice if they would create a version with touch screen

[EricNUFO]

As a playback engineer, why spend the money on this if you already have the Setlist plugin paired with an existing midi controller and utilizing Ableton link for dual playback/redundancy?

[chrisw]

Lots of fingerprints for not being a touch screen. Makes the screen harder to read (besides being blown out by the brightness).

Disclaimer: I have never done a Playbackshow but I am an Audio Engineer and this is amazing and interested. As far as I can tell everything surrounding this topic is build upon Ableton live. And when you ask people why Ableton they say "because its in the name bro ... its made for live". Yeah ... right. I know I can just use Logic Pro but I wonder ... is there evidence why that would be the inferior option? Or is this just the "my DAW is better than yours" Extension Thread?
