I’m glad I stuck with Ableton. I started with 11 and 12 came out after 4 months. I don’t like the new instrument menu. Whenever I feel creative, this menu puts me off wanting to start. I may have to go back to 11. Enjoy!
Well narrated, thank you! Why are there no shortcuts for the Volume part of the Mixer and for the New Freeze+Flatten version? I also want to be able to MidiMap all shortcuts like "add audio track".
Still haven't fixed vertical zooming in arrangement view? Alt + mousewheel just zooms one single track at a time, as opposed to vertically zooming every track proportionally (like every other professional DAW does)?
@@primeus70you're talking about manually selecting all tracks (cmd+a after clicking a track) which highlights all tracks and then allows you to vertical zoom multiple tracks at once. That's not what I'm describing. In every other DAW I've used (Reaper, Studio One, Logic, Pro Tools) you don't have to select the tracks to allow them to zoom proportionally, it does this automatically as default behavior. All tracks vertical zoom proportionally without having to select the tracks. It saves clicks, time, and makes large project easier to navigate. You shouldn't have to spend the extra time selecting all of your tracks to then be able to zoom them. Also this doesn't work with grouped tracks. And the steps between zoom levels are not fine at all. They take huge jumps between zoom levels.
@@matthewbcarter unfortunately you cant, but i got pretty used to that limitation after about a month after switching to Live from Studio One and Logic.
Glad to see all the display options, but t.b.h. you can achieve all this just by having two monitors/screens in Live 11 and clicking 'second window' (one displaying Session and the other on Arrangement)
C'mon, bounce in place's already there in ableton since you can Freeze a track. Then "copy" with cmd+c the freeze track down to a new channel and you have your legendary bounce in place. Literally 1 sec. I truly cannot understand this f'ckn rage for this shit. It's already there by years. Are you a pro tools jihadist? 😉
Live 12 has a problem...when 2 or more layers are applied...the suspend on the left hand keys when the suspend pedal is pressed stops abrubtly when the right hand is playing a fast riff...even though the pedal remains pressed..... wonder if anyone experienced this....am usin Arturia keylab 88 mk 2.....the Analoglab V and Piano V3 does not have this issue.
PLEASE bring back the shortcommands for show/hide return tracks (option+cmd+r), show/hide browser (option+cmd+b), and show/hide detailed view (option+cmd+l). I use these all the time. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I'm like this close to asking for a refund and go back to 11....
The waveform backgrounds are still painfully bright by being of the track color since Live 10, I thought we'd be able to change that on that new version. The programmers probably don't spend much time on Live like users do.
@@vaaalsongs4867 Actually you can, at the very bottom-right of the Session View, there is like equalizer bars. Click on the small arrow next to it and choose return tracks. You can also use the shortcut Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+R. Clicking on the equalizer bar-like symbol toggles the displaying of the options etc, from the tracks.
sorry, I have trouble trying to get rid of the ins outs sends and volume in arrangement view on the tracks. A lot of space that I can t find a way to gain as I did on the previous versions of Live
Hi, please refer to section 6.15 in Live's manual to find out how to access the Mixer Control submenu in the View menu: brnw.ch/21wNLIZ We hope this helps, let us know if you need more assistance!
I find the scale overlay on the piano roll (the purple blueish color) incredibly hard to see, even with the high contrast mode on. I am colorblind though
The crossfader can be accessed via the Mixer Controls submenu in the View menu or the menu options in the Mixer View control at the bottom right of Live’s window. You can find screenshots and additional information in Live's manual here: brnw.ch/21wKx2A We hope this helps!
You messed up the sends, give us the shortcut knobs down right side back please! there is no reason no sense in it to remove them! Put them back where they were you absolutely made it worse and there was nothing to fix in the first place. Please concentrate on fixing the PDC rather than mindlessly moving around GUI stuff...
@@glowsloth I know but that’s just a stereo track (with the same thing on both sides). I want real mono tracks. No mono tracks means you also can’t run plugins in dual mono like logic. You can, you just have to set it up in a rack and it’s annoying.
rly like the update well done no complains but i beg you guys from Ableton pls give us the option to resize the toolbar at the very top i just can't get used to it i understand that some elements moved inside it such as the icons that show what view is activated currently but it rly doesn't need to be this thick can u pls do something about it would rly appreciate that the toolbar in Live 11 and before rly had the perfect size looked more modern it's like going from a almost borderless smartphone back to an Pixel 4 if u know what i mean (almost borderless but a big forehead) i fkn beg you pls change that or give us the option to resize it like the pianoroll for example but just for this toolbar pls pls pls
Do you have to plug in your midi instrument to use abelton downloaded it started it up and all I see is a little box that shows if your midi is plugged in mines plugged in and it doesn't recognize it
Mine crashed, numerous times, I lost all my work from this afternoon. I think I will stay with 11 for a while... My excitement for 12 has died for now.
If you have a newer mac you need to run it on Rosetta. On the Albleton 12 app icon, right click and hit "get Info". There will be a check box that says "open using rosetta", I had the same issue, hope that helps!
Hi, sorry to hear about the crash! You can recover your set with the instructions here: bit.ly/3wVpBmI If this doesn't help, you can get in touch with our Technical Support team via this link: bit.ly/3wIHDZw They will be happy to assist you with this. Thanks!
Thank you for finally allowing us to view the mixer in the arrangement page!
This problem never exists on the 2nd monitor 🤣 I'm just playing, good for outdoor production.
not even joking this request is more than a decade old
how is this done?
I am super color blind and really appreciate the new accessibility stuff. The high contrast setting saved my brain from head aches
Hi Tom! Great tutorial video as always!
Thnx for the tutorial. Going to take a few months to get comfortable with the system after many years in between recording last. :)

Ableton 10 is still the best verision you guys did
Idk why I feel the same way

How about bounce in place in 2024? How about custom hotkeys? Where is really handy UX Ableton!!?
2nd this. Lackin super hard

Is there a way to hide the return tracks in session view? The old shortcut only hides them in the mixer view..
Nope they totally messed this up for no reason, you have to go via the top menu now. Headache.
This is so frustrating.

@@benofficiall they’ve changed it back to the old key command now
Can we get a "select and arm" option maybe?
great update love it
how do i now hide for example the output channels on the right in the arrangement view?
i can only find how i can hide it in the mixer
ok nevermind .. i've found it under "view - arangement track controls"
but if there is another (quicker) way, please let me know :)
How can I move the mixer from right side to left side in arrangement view, so it looks like other Daw's??

Toggling return tracks in arrangement view is gone ? Give it back, please.
Yeah, they took away that little shortcut buttons, fucking stupid having to go through the menus to toggle them on and off!
@@johnnymcandrew Alternatively, Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+R toggles them in Session and Arrangement view.
where is I-o , delay right side ? icant find ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Those individual buttons have been relocated to a dropdown menu off of the icon in the bottom right that looks like graphic EQ bars.
Filters is the worst add-on to the browser!
Don't agree, I love it so far.
I don't mind it, but would have been good if the old folder system was also an option

hey guys! how to hide return tracks in arrangment view?
Also wondering if there a way to do this
glad i'm not the only one who was wondering about this!
View / Arrangement track controls / Return tracks
@@ChetaMeister thank you !!!
Option - Command - R on Mac (Alt - Control - R? Windows) or visit bottom right corner of display click on the arrow and check or uncheck
Most of my plugins are missing I scanned a couple times for hours and they are still missing 😫😫
Nice! Now the new browser sucks harder than bitwig.
My Novation mk3 keep crrashhing on Live 💢
Gross color palette for the clips lmaooo come on
This was not helpfull
Sorry to hear this! Do you have additional questions that we could help answer?
How scroll right or left on the session view? 🫣 i am using the left and right arrow
why nobody has an answer? I miss the bar for scrolling.....thats why I landed on this video.....
Hi there, you need to set up scrolling with the arrow keys in Live's settings under the Display & Input section. Hope this helps!
@@Ableton But Can't I just move a bar with my mouse like in 11?
Yes you can also scroll with your mouse of course. Are you using Mac or Windows?
