    You know what ArticStorm? I don't know if it's because I have been somewhat more discerning on the amount of plugins I install, and get rid of the trash pretty quick if I realize I'm not gonna use it, or if it's a newer system... but I don't even notice a plugin startup scan when opening Ableton... sure, if I am installing a new Logic version or something it'll take a few... but not with Ableton...

    but to agree to your greater point, perhaps we have just been at this a long time and know better how to source what and what have you, .... but I've never had any plugin in Ableton not work without knowing the why that I can remember...

    its maybe fine on newer system, but on older systems it takes time if you have a lot of plugin and its completely unnecessary,
    same for the indexer, which always scans for a minutes, even no files have changed.

    work around is again, open settings quickly and shut the plugin scanner up.

    i have my 50 plugins in the folder, those scan alright imo.

    I've been spamming the official Ableton channels for years with the ARA2 request. In 2022 there was once an answer from them on Instagram, where they said that it wasn't technically possible yet, i.e. the framework wouldn't support it. Although so many people want the feature, nothing has happened since then. The funniest thing about it is that Celemony and Ableton are both German companies, and they really can't manage to work together and implement this technology, which is now even open source.

    But that fits in with the Ableton fancy “we are from berlin” who just want to be different from the rest.
