Ableton Live 12.0.5 Update: Changes, Fixes and Rollbacks 

This is exactly how I feel about this update 😂

100% agreed!!

Totally agree, it's such an arbitrary limitation.

You're welcome! I always enjoy going through release notes. 😁

Thanks for watching!! 😁

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching. 😁

You're welcome! Thanks for watching. :)

@@matttinklermusic i will check your content , good to have a new abletoner to listen to

I think it would be awesome if there was an option in the settings instead!

Totally agree! I actually like having the folders not grouped by creator but I know some people didn't, so it's good to have the option. Now they just need to bring back the option for audio effects as well...

@@matttinklermusic Wrestling for years with this issue, watching this video made me think there ought to be a choice to show a plugin by plugin name or grouped by manufacturer. For small companies, weird or unknown company names or companies you only have one piugin of I prefer the plugin name, because that's what I bought or downloaded. For well knownn brands like Arturia, NI, izotope, Korg, Acustica, IK Multimedia etc the company name folder is fine to me. When you buy a plugin you see the company name extensively, but for free plugins (partly from developers trying to find a place in the market) having the learn both the name as the manufacturer it is a handicap, these plugins easily get lost in obscurity. This method of presenting however might be prescribed in the VST3 standard, developed by (folder type brand) Steinberg.

Yeah I still think that Live has some room to improve in terms of plugin browsing!

Hey, thanks for watching! 😁 Unfortunately the fastest way is just that keyboard command you mentioned, and that's what I used at the timestamp you mentioned, I guess I was just quick about it! 😅

I agree, this would be a really useful feature. You can grab two or more clips on different tracks as long as they're in the same time region, but I agree this would be a fantastic addition.

@@matttinklermusic I wouldn't even call it a feature, every other daw and linear video app under the sun has had this since dinosaurs roamed the earth...even Mac Finder lets you grab non-contiguous items in a list. And it not only can't do it, it hacks and mangles other regions if you try. It's like having a gas car with no petrol cap and it just keeps sloshing out and Ableton just keep ignoring it while they're busy putting fairy lights on the roof. That and the inability to nudge regions by a preset amount ie tick, 1/8 bar etc...mind-blowing.

Yeah it is very weird that it doesn't exist in Live yet. You can definitely nudge clips though! Just select the clip, set your grid to the desired length and use the arrow keys to nudge. :)

11 Suite is perfectly capable and fantastic!! Definitely no need to upgrade if you're not missing the new features. :)

I haven't had performance issues on my M series Macs, so I'm really curious as to the issues you're experiencing?

@@matttinklermusic random CPU spikes, even in empty projects. Consider yourself lucky/fortunate. It’s not a “me” issue, as a search on Google for “M series Ableton problems” will show enough people with issue.

@@matttinklermusic it's common, at least with the M3 Macs. The CPU spikes randomly in Ableton where an empty project will use up to 80% or more of the CPU, spiking in waves/cycle. It's the way that Ableton is using the 2 cores. Doesn't happen all the time but enough to make one not want to use the program. Considering FL Studio, Studio One and even Logic don't do it says to me its a coding issue. I expected to have such grand experience when I got my M3 mac MBP. Definitely not the case with Ableton.

@@matttinklermusic There is major latency and phase problems in 12.0.5, its almost unusable since they did that update for me

@geebee44 I genuinely haven't had this happen, so that's really interesting to hear that so many people are having issues. Hopefully they get fixed! :)

I didn't know that there were crashing issues with this! I'd reach out to Ableton support and see if they can advise anything. Hopefully it can get fixed for you!

Hm, I haven't had any issues, but curious to hear if anyone else has!

@@matttinklermusic yea if I cmd + f, esc, and then close the browser all with keyboard shortcuts, and i do it too fast it gets stuck hahaha

I'm still so frustrated they removed it TBH. They only brought it in halfway through Live 11, why remove it!?

@@matttinklermusic who I their right mind think remove grouping was a smart move?? Just leave it like live 11 but add the search bar the added, it in 12 and it would've been amazing! Live 11 you make custom fonder in the file directory and live 11 can detect them and add them... Why can't live 12 do it?? It was perfect! I had my synth, fx vst, mastering,..All group together in separate folders... Unless they fix this, am never upgrading to 12 and might wait for 13 or stay on 11.
