Ableton live 10

Just being able to zoom in the arrangement view with a modifier is pretty neato. I also like the new way of turning on and off automation with a hotkey. And groups within groups are awesome. I just love working in live. It is not the most flexible program, but I find it so quick, and with the 10 update even quicker.

Gotta give a shout out to Ableton for being so proactive on the video tutorials. Very cool.

Nowā€¦ just to find the time to go through them all and find things Iā€™ve missed/overlooked.

This is also coolā€¦

Some good tips for me personally. Some insight into one of my all-time favorites - Rhythm & Sound. They are masters of keeping their methods secret. So any little tidbits of info gleaned from the web are helpful. Good on ya Ableton.

Rum + Rhythm & Sound + Production secrets + smoked jerked chicken on a warm Sunday evening = Heaven. Cheers everyone. :smile:

Off topic but if you buy cubase 9.5 the free tutorials they give on YouTube is better than what I paid for at groove3. :slight_smile:

Arrangement is much improved. Itā€™s a lot of small fixes that add to a big amount of workflow improvement Groups within groups is what got me to upgrade, haha.

Sorry but I find the sound of it pretty boring. I like Ableton Live and have used it for many years but the Live instruments are not so great IMO. If you are used to the full great sound/timbre of the Digitone I think you will find Wavetableā€™s sound flat and uninspiring. I think a serious wavetable synth like Icarus from Tone2 (or Waldorf Nave) sounds much better so Iā€™d recommend those instead.

How about operator then :wink:

Wavetable sounds miles better than digitone to my ears, starting with the filters, to each his own.

Wavetable is great.
If you donā€™t own the grand master Serum you come pretty close with this.
Being an Ableton synth the integration is flawless.
The mod matrix design is really clever

Push 2 is ace! Dig it. :slight_smile:

Canā€™t wait to fly back home to play with the new probability pack. Goodbye Toulouse salut San Franciscoā€¦:grinning:

Can you imagine what trouble you can get into with your favorite monosynth.

Iā€™ll also try it on Arturia spark and maxforlive instruments.

FREE update for live 10 suite owners.

Was very frustrated at Live last night for royally screwing up some songs (missing freeze samples and corrupt wavs, or something like that). After playing with the Probability pack Iā€™m back in a good mood. Canā€™t wait to try it out with Push when I get home. Iā€™m truly amazed at the value of some of these Max4Live packs being released recently. Kudos to Ableton. Wonder what Loop in November will bring?

Hey @psyclone001 how did you manage to update these m4l midi lfoā€™s ? Mine still look just like the old version. Thanks !

Look in m4l folder ā€˜max audio effectsā€™
You should see 2 lfo devices
Old one with 1 destination
New one with up to 8 destinations

Did this happen with the 10.0.3 update?
