Ableton Live 12

That’s good, I like this track!

I was playing with Meld earlier and thought the same. I might just put an autofilter after Meld.

I’m honestly surprised there aren’t more routing options for Meld tbh. I’ve just been putting an auto filter after the device, but being able to blend the filters (kinda like you can with Pigments) would be incredible! I feel that would make the resonator filters much much more useable

@LyingDalai thank you so much! That track started as me just trying to make some techno, but it turned into something weird and wonderful along the way

Likewise! Almost makes me wish I didn’t have a jam session with some friends scheduled for tonight. Almost… :sweat_smile:

Man, wish I had gotten mine. Going to Bulgaria for work for a couple weeks, this would’ve been perfect. Should still be able to use live 11 though, but it just seems like old hat in my mind, even though I haven’t touched 12. Stupid is as stupid does.

Ditto- home alone this weekend would have been ideal! I almost wish it was like Bigwig and if you have paid for the update you get early access instead of this lottery!

Hmm… with Beta I can’t see any vst3 plugins. Anyone else having this issue?

Not here, can see them fine (M1 Mac). There’s a Plugins section in the preferences you could check.

Yes, the drag handle is in a different place, it’s at the top of the panel, instead of above the faders.

Ahh, I’ve got it now. This seems to me like a design bug, I cannot make the sliders taller without having the In/Out routings open, which I often close to get back space.

This is only on the new mixer view for arrangement view, which I’ve noticed are not the same as the one on clip view, as I can hide In/Out on one and it is not reflected in the other.

Interesting. I can see the use case for having different settings in session and arrangement views, though there’s also a use case for keeping it the same.

In a situation like this, the best design solution is often an option that overrides the local setting, e.g. you would be able to select “Mirror Session View” for the mixer in the arranger and then the other options are disabled until you deselect the override. Maybe Ableton will implement something like that in a later beta or point release.

It is true that having different settings in both views make sense, I just found myself using that :slight_smile:

I really think you need to at least be able to make the volume sliders larger without having to have In/Out also visible, which is possible in clip view.

Yes, even the old Analog has extensive routing options. If they add that to Meld, that would be awesome!

Same.

I signed up the same day this thread went up. I’m in Canada so I was probably a bit further down the queue.

The more I play around with Live 12, the more Push 3 features I see implemented on the Push 2.

Apart from the ones mentioned above (clip overview on the screen, access to freeze, flatten, group, ungroup), there are control menus when you long-press Quantize and Metronome, and more.

This is a fantastic update for Push 2 users. You don’t get the advanced clip-editing functions, and of course the hardware differences of the Push 3, but it’s a massive update.

If you look at the way Ableton still supported and improved Push 1 after releasing Push 2, I think it is safe to assume a similar treatment for Push 2, even now Push 3 is out.

I think pretty much every new Push 3 feature that is doable, considering the hardware limitations, they will implement on Push 2 as well. Especially now they updated the communication tech between Push 2 and Live 12, so Push 2 shares the same tech as with Push 3, I see no reason why they would deviate what is shown on the screen and controllable with the shared knobs/buttons.
