    Try to codesign the VST and do a full rescan. Hold Option/alt and click on the rescan button in the preferences.

    Example open Terminal and type: sudo codesign -fs - "Insert/drag the plugin" Hit enter
    After you did this you probably need to enter you password if you have set a password on your account enter it. Sometimes the plugin says you don't have permission to do this. Try to batchmod it. Also another thing is go to the vst and show package content > mac os folder > " There should be a file" Also sudo codesign it!

    If the plugins still doesn't allow you to be signed try sudo xattr -c "Insert/drag the plugin" Hit enter and then try to sudo codesign -fs - it again.

    Don't forget to do a full rescan with the alt option key holding while pressing the rescan button.

    Hope this helped.

    This helped me fixing all the plugins that didn't work in ableton 11.

    Restarting your pc is sometimes needed after you did steps and did a full rescan while holding the option alt key.

    Anyone knows how to turn off the annoying Metronome sound in 11? In Ableton 10 I used to run the Metronome for 1 bar without noise, click, or wood noise... they seem to have removed this option. Is there any workaround?

    Like what do you mean actually? with sound u mean you have three options classic, click and wood. you can turn off the metronome or replace or remove them in the folder. I haven't noticed anything weird about the metronome in live 11

    Thanks can you tell me which folder? I don't remember having to delete such files with 10. I remember having the option to keep the metronome ON while still having the option to turn the annoying count sound OFF. Thanks.

    • Show Package Contents with a right /-ctrl click on the Live application in Finder.
    • Open Contents/App-Resources/Misc/Metronome/Samples/

    Doesn't work though, when I do so, I got an error message while starting Ableton, that the sound cannot be loaded. I tried replacing the files with empty .wav and .asd files, doesn't work either.

    Did you follow these steps correctly I didn't correctly post all of it when you actually want to change the sound.

    Mac:

    • Show Package Contents with a right /-ctrl click on the Live application in Finder.
    • Open Contents/App-Resources/Misc/Metronome/Samples/ - find the files “Metronome.wav” and “MetronomeUp.wav”.
    • Rename your “MetronomeUp.wav” and “Metronome.wav” to “MetronomeUpBackup.wav”/“MetronomeBackup.wav” (keep these files if you want to change them back later).
    • Name your own Metronome sounds to “Metronome.wav” and “MetronomeUp.wav” and paste them into the above mentioned folder.
    • If you want the original Metronome sounds back, delete your custom sounds and rename the backup files (by removing “Backup” from the names).

    Also if you don't have permission to change files batchmod it.

    Yes it works this way, it's what I did before. Only problem is it doesn't work when I'm trying to replace the .wav with empty .wav files recorded with Ableton (converted from .aif format). I'm trying to find an empty .wav file (like 3-5 seconds). If you guys have any suggestions, much appreciated.

    I suggest you look for pre made metronomes for Ableton try to replace them and see if it works. If it works than prob something wrong with the conversion

    Why is the F in measure 12 not playing? Did the Sampler instrument spontaneously decide to go monophonic for a whole note? (running ableton 11.0 macOS 10.14.6)
    I hope the mistake is on my part and fixable :/

    I agree and I agree and agree again
    I solved the problem using symlink helper (each time a vst3 is installed, it ends in a dedicated folder on another drive),

    My PB with L11 is: when I save a project with the M4L device Emiter . . . Live crash if I re-open it
    (win 10 on a ryzen machine)

    Ableton shows a crazy CPU spike for all plugins. it was already reported in the Beta forum.
    It seems to be a specific problem with version 11.
    And i saw a guy posting screenshot with 16800% showing on the CPU meter, while task manager showed only 10% or so lol
    Also the CPU spiking is not even specific to Windows, people reported it on MAC too.

    Thats the only thing which really drives me crazy with v11. Other stuff is okay.

    I will try 11.0.1 beta 1 today and see if the problem is fixed there.

    Dont know what u all have. I am on 4790k @4.4Ghz 16GB DDR3 Ram on Asrock x87 xtreme4, win 10 pro. And use onboard Realtek soundcard.
    2 instances of Diva plugins with hard taxing preset + 8 Arousor on each channel. Even with coreparking I have no spike problems.

    Correctly you are absolute right when enabling some plugins the the cpu spikes up looks like the cpu is fully loaded for a short couple amount of seconds. Also have noticed it on task-manager it shows different results.
    When I enable three effects racks of soundtoys the cpu bumps up crazy for a short amount of seconds.

    Ok now this is crazy, on heavy projects I can't freeze tracks or render / export.
    Before the project starts rendering everything goes in loading mode and even leaving it for hours it doesn't unfreeze, if I touch anything live crashes.

    I made sure that live had the rights to write on explorer, in fact I can render and freeze smaller projects but not the big ones.

    I would use again 10 if I didn't convert all the current projects...

    yep, thats what i mean and it has nothing to do with having an older CPU on my part. In v10, the CPU spike was minimal compared to now.

    I am still not sure the CPU meter for v11 is so damn sensible, while compared over with v10 is just constant around a fixed percentage and v10 is also more precise. (dont know what Ableton did here, but that way its very useless)

    But on top of it, you get crackles, pop and glitches v11, when you have a CPU spike, so something is not right, while on v10 it just played through.
