    THANK YOU!!! I'm just starting to use MultiTracks in Ableton, and I couldn't figure out why the files wouldn't load in 11.3. Appreciate the Windows path in the description as well. I'm surprised that Ableton still has not added that options.txt file in later updates, but at least the fix is easy.

    @AwesomeMan2696 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the video! That is a really tight facial camera shot. Just some kind feedback maybe make it less cropped in. A view a little zoomed out more would be better in my opinion as this close in view kind of makes the viewer not feel as comfortable. Just my 2 cents. Nothing against you at all. It would be the same regardless of who's making the video it's just a super super up close view. I think instead if it's zoomed out enough to see your head/shoulders and upper torso area it would be a much more comfortable shot!
