#Ableton live plugins 64 Bit#
To begin with it only accepts 64 bit plugins which isn't a deal breaker for me, however, I could only select one folder. Another nifty feature is it can save scanned folders and launch very fast the next time.So long as I haven't bought a new plugin that daw doesn't scan every time I launch.Ībleton Live 10 OTOH seems to only allow one scan location which seems very odd to me. It also has sandboxing in addition to seeing both 32 and 64 bit plugins. For instance in Cakewalk by Bandlab I can select multiple folders for a plugin scan. There seems to be a huge difference in the way Ableton deals with vst plugins as compared to some of my other daws. I'll admit the lack of a rewind button had me curious until I discovered the speaker function that almost works like a scrubber. I am now using it for the first time as a serious daw on a project I'm building. I'm still getting the hang of how some of it works. In the meantime-it's back to assembling a VSL orchestra in Logic.I have been using Ableton Live 10 to play backing tracks for awhile now. AND-like DP and the old StudioVision, you can save multiple versions of the piece within the same file! Can I talk about this here(?) And it's set up for editing and mixing all from the same page. It has time-adjust like Live, but without the loop-triggering matrix. It looks like they took a lot of design philsophy from Live, but it's more of a basic DAW. The native app that I'm most intrigued by at the moment is the upcoming Tracktion release from Mackie, version 3. I personally don't use it for much more than that warp trick every once in a while. Live works great for what it does I've had it since version 2. To be clear on where I stand now, I've given up wishing for these cross-application dream features long ago.it's just good to hear sometimes from people who have had the same ideas. I am using Live/ approx 15 RTAS vi's and samplers and 30-40 VST's with fxpansion wrapper, and it all works fine for me. Yes it would be nice if all apps could rewire/sync together and have the best of all worlds! but this does not suite all manufacturers and is simply not possible with all apps specific functions. Pro Tools is not responsible for the pit falls of Ableton's Live or Propellerheads ReWire. Pro tools/M-audio is a Digidesign/Avid company you are the same company and should be able to get your own products to work together!
#Ableton live plugins pro#
i thought i was gonna have the best of both worlds and be rocking the ultimate daw! or at least be able to run my virtual instruments with real stability under vst or au format whilke also mixing in pro tools!! please fix this digi and/or m-audio. ableton live is amazing running in standalone mode, using all my vst and au plug-ins, but it's hugely dissapointing not to be able to use the whole feature set when running it as a slave to pro tools. By the way, Live does work with AU now when you're running it standalone.īashville, you totally know what i'm talking about. There is still really not one single solid program out there that has all the composing features I'd like, with the ability to mix on the level of PT. I supposed if it ever really got better, it would probably drop the Rewire capability. I keep waiting for Live to evolve into a better DAW besides all the cool things that are part of its original design. No matter what ProTools does, Live keeps chugging along in one meter, so it becomes a little counter-intuitive from a musical point of view. I also became less interested in pursuing that route when I realized that you can't have time signature changes in Live. Live won't load external plug-ins when it's slaved, and neither can it send or receive external MIDI in that mode. But it turns out you're blocked at every opportunity. I had been hoping to use the Live midi editing capabilities while slaved to ProTools (because any program does midi better than PT), either playing 3rd party plugs within Live, or maybe sending midi back to PT to play RTAS instruments. Anyway, that was Live's buck-passing as to why they couldn't do that. There's something about the VST design that prohibits this, I don't know about AU. I went through this research with them a while back. There are a couple Live instruments that do work in Rewire, specifically a sampler that's supposed to open all the major sampler formats. I think the first poster is talking about being able to run 3rd-party VST and AU plugs WITHIN Live while it's slaved to Rewire.
