    Funnily I used to complain every day about Ableton's constant crashing while I started producing on 10... but since 11 especially since 2021 I have to say (almost) no more crashes, looks like if you have last-gen computer you'll be fine but yes Live requires high specs.

    Even my M1 from late-2020 is not enough now because I only took 16GB (my mistake, lesson learnt) which is quite limiting for heavy projects in electronic music and 200 plugins in the background lol so I often have to freeze or else it forces me to bounce audio tracks which turned out to be a good thing actually in my mixing process.

    But next up I'm gonna save up take massive specs for the next one.

    I remember a famous live performance producer and DJ saying he changes his macbook every 2 years, to keep up to speed as it ages quickly.

    11.2 Release Notes (28-09-2022)
    New features and improvements

    • Capture MIDI
      • Capture results are no longer influenced by the song tempo set by the target track's previous Capture attempts.

      • When Live’s transport is running, Capture MIDI will keep longer phrases in captured clips.
    • Control Surfaces
      • In the Launchkey MK3 Control Surface script, the Quantise button can now quantize clips in Session or Arrangement View.

      • The Launchkey MK3 Control Surface script now also works with the Launchkey 88.

      • On the PreSonus ATOM SQ, it is now possible to scroll between device parameter banks by holding the bank navigation buttons down.

      • In the ATOM SQ Control Surface script, it is now possible to control the Master Track volume and pan in Song mode when the Master Track is selected.

      • The encoder sensitivity for the ATOM SQ Control Surface script has been refined to better match the parameters they control. Additionally, the encoders can be used to fine tune parameter values when the Shift button is pressed.
    • Core Library
      • Added audio and MIDI clips to Session View in Live’s Demo Song.

      • In the DS Drum Rack preset, devices contained in the selected chain are now always shown by default.
    • Interface
      • The icons in Live’s Preferences and dialogs have been improved.

      • Updated the appearance of the "Record/Warp/Launch" tab in Live's Preferences.

      • The error dialog window that appears when loading a Live Set with disabled plug-ins now displays the track name before the timestamp.

      • Live now shows different icons for Live Clip (.alc) files that distinguish between Audio and MIDI content in the browser.

      • When renaming tracks, [Tab] will navigate to the next track or chain header, while [Shift][Tab] navigates to the previous track or chain header.

      • Value ranges on vertical rulers in the MIDI Note Editor are now always displayed as two values stacked vertically.

      • Improved drag and drop behavior within list views (such as the Groove Pool and device chains). Instead of always being inserted before the target item, dropped items will now be placed dynamically, depending on which half of the target item the cursor hovers over. In addition, the copy modifier [ALT] now works more consistently.

      • When Num Lock is switched off on Windows, the number pad arrows, PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End keys now function as expected.

      • Disabled devices now display an alert icon above error messages in Device View.

      • When exporting multiple tracks, the option to also export video at the same time is now deactivated in the Export Audio/Video dialog.

      • Updated various software texts.

      • Updated various Help View lessons.

      • Updated various software text and Help View lesson translations in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
    • Max for Live
      • Updated the bundled Max build to version 8.3.1. For the changelog, visit: https://cycling74.com/forums/max-8-3-1-released
        • live.banks: added warnings to explain non-reactivity in Max-only

        • Dynamic Colors: changed label of ‘live_control_fg’ to ‘Text /Icon’

        • jweb / CEF: fixed usage in Max for Live (Windows)

        • live.* ui objects: updated color code

        • live.banks: banks configuration is retained if device is opened and saved in Max

        • live.comment: linecount is preserved

        • live.gain~: @orientation 1 typed-in a box works as expected

        • live.gain~: auto-adapts when transforming to MC version

        • live.observer: fixed value output after opening/closing Max editor

        • crosspatch: works in the context of a Max for Live device hosted in Live

        • Max for Live / Gen: improved fixes for intermittent crashes
      • A new property in the Max for Live API allows users to observe the number of visible Macro Controls for a RackDevice.

      • Audio driver input and output latencies are now taken into account for Max for Live devices that contain audio routings to external targets. If needed, users can revert to the previous behavior by using the -DisableM4LRoutingCompensation debug option in an Options.txt file.

      • The time_signature_numerator, time_signature_denominator, time_signature_enabled and tempo_enabled properties are now available in the Max for Live API. Corrected descriptions for the properties have also been added.

      • Improved and updated the scale_name and scale_intervals descriptions in the Max for Live API.
    • New Devices and Device Improvements
      • Reverb:
        • The Reverb device's interface has been updated with a fresh design.

        • The Reverb device's Density and Quality parameters have been renamed to Diffusion and Density. The parameter values for Density (previously Quality) have also been changed from Eco, Mid, and High to Sparse, Low, Mid, and High. Sparse mode allows for lower CPU usage.

        • Added a Smooth dropdown menu to the Reverb device. You can now specify how the Size parameter responds when changed using the Smooth options None, Slow, or Fast.

        • Setting Smooth to None means that some artifacts may occur when changing the Size parameter values. The Slow and Fast options ensure that new delay times are updated over a specific period of time, resulting in a more musical sound.

        • Added a switchable filter type to the High filter in Reverb’s Diffusion Network. You can choose between a one-pole low-pass filter or a low-shelf filter.

        • Optimized for better CPU performance.
      • Tuner:
        • The Tuner device now includes three new options for note spellings. You can access a menu with these options when you right-click anywhere within Tuner's UI:
          • Sharps (C#)

          • Flats (D♭)

          • Sharps and Flats (C#/D♭)
        • It is now possible to zoom out to a full octave in Tuner's Histogram View by clicking the interface and dragging the cursor horizontally.
      • In the Phaser-Flanger device, the Phase parameter of the LFO now has a default value of 180 degrees.

      • The Excitator section of the Tension device is now called “Exciter” in Live and on Push.

      • A context menu option for a Hi-Quality mode has been added to the Delay device. Switching off Hi-Quality uses less CPU resources.

      • The Channel EQ device now uses less CPU resources.

      • Presets containing the Saturator device now run with improved CPU usage.

      • Inactive visualization data will no longer be sent in the Wavetable and Phaser devices, resulting in slightly improved performance.

      • When mapping and unmapping device parameters to Macros, the Map/Unmap labels now appear as expected.

      • A Hi-Quality option has been added to the [right-click](Win) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu of the Redux device. Using Redux with Hi-Quality switched off saves some extra CPU.
    • Plug-ins
      • Added native support for AUv3 plug-ins on macOS 10.15 or higher.
        • Live's Preferences now include options to enable both AUv2 and AUv3 plug-ins.
      • Plug-in errors are now shown in Live’s Status Bar, along with a linked detailed error report.

      • If the connection to an AUv3 plug-in gets lost, an error message will be displayed. The plug-in will also be disabled, the output muted, and the plug-in window closed.
    • Push
      • On Push 2, the parameter names of the AAS devices (Analog, Collision, Tension and Electric) have been improved and aligned with the UI for readability.
    • Session View Improvements
      • It is now possible to simultaneously rename multiple Rack chains in Session View.

      • When navigating tracks and device chains using the left arrow key in Session View, navigation will stop at the first track header as expected.
    • Setup
      • To avoid incompatibilities, you will be asked to save Live Sets created with an older version of Live as a new file in Live 11.2.

      • Renamed the Customization section of Live's Preferences to Display Customization, which now also includes the Zoom Display setting.

      • Metal rendering is now enabled on macOS by default to improve UI rendering performance. To deactivate this, use the Options.txt entry -DisableGraphicsHardwareAcceleration.
    Bugfixes
    • Live Bugfixes
      • Improved Live's performance when selecting or deselecting many clips.

      • On macOS, Live's UI would sometimes show graphical errors after opening Live on a HiDPI monitor, changing the Zoom Display settings to a value other than 100%, and moving the window to a LowDPI monitor.

      • Fixed the appearance of the Phaser-Flanger device's Env Fol parameter when the device is deactivated.

      • Fixed a bug that would stop the manual freeze output when switching the Spectral Time device's Freezer Fade Shape from Crossfade to Envelope mode.

      • Fixed an issue that caused the Corpus device to output silence when using larger buffer sizes on Windows.

      • Added info texts for the Frz > Dly and Dly > Frz toggles in the Spectral Time device.

      • Added a missing info text for the Env Amt parameter in Collision’s Noise Filter section.

      • Fixed some issues with the LFO and MPE Control devices.

      • Previously, Live would crash when routing an Ext. Instrument's MIDI output to an MPE routing target if the track's device chain also contained a plug-in, Max for Live device, or certain built-in audio effects.

      • The dropdown menu for Reverb's Density parameter is now 2px wider to avoid cutting off the word "Sparse.”

      • Fixed an issue that could cause an invalid selection when selecting all chains in a Drum Rack in Session View.

      • On Windows, Live’s UI now refreshes as expected after tapping [ALT] to open the main menu.

      • Any time the Clip Detail view panels are arranged vertically, Live now opens the Envelopes panel and scrolls it into view when creating per-step automation on Push or using the "Show Automation" or "Show Modulation" context menu entries on a parameter.

      • Opening a context menu on Windows with the keyboard shortcut [Shift][F10] no longer changes the time selection in Arrangement View, Session scene selection, or browser selection.

      • On Windows, opening a context menu with the [Shift][F10] keyboard shortcut no longer changes the selected Session track header or Session clip.

      • Fixed an issue that could cause artifacts when using the Complex or Complex Pro warping mode on clips that were only slightly warped.

      • Fixed an issue that caused unnecessary freeze tail clips when freezing and flattening clips with small gaps between them.

      • Fixed a bug that caused MIDI notes and audio waveforms to jiggle slightly when adjusting clip edges in Arrangement View.

      • Selecting a velocity or probability marker and typing in a number sets the value as expected.

      • When Rack Macro Controls and chains are unfolded, the Rand and Map buttons are now properly aligned.

      • When showing or hiding chains in a Rack, the buttons would previously move up and down depending on the view shown. These buttons are now evenly spaced at all times.

      • Fixed an issue that caused Session clips to be added over Arrangement clips when copying a track in Session View and pasting it into Arrangement View.

      • Fixed an issue that caused inconsistent time signatures when launching scenes with specific time signatures in Session View, and then quickly going back to the Arrangement View. This issue could also cause the Re-enable Automation button to become stuck.

      • When a track is frozen, the Velocity Range slider will now freeze as expected in MIDI clips.

      • Fixed an issue that prevented the keyboard shortcut to expand Clip View [CTRL][ALT][E] (Win) / [CMD][OPT][E] (Mac) from working when switching from Session View to Arrangement View (or vice versa) when no clip was selected.

      • Selecting time in the MIDI Velocity Editor now works as expected when multi-clip editing.

      • When a user changes the MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset option in a set, they will be prompted to save the changes when they close the set or quit Live.

      • Fixed an issue that caused Live to hang when zooming out of a clip with a small loop region that was being recorded.

      • Fixed a crash that occurred when loading certain Live Sets containing more than 1,000 tracks.

      • Fixed a crash that occurred when using the header area of a time selection to select time in a MIDI clip when in the Expression tab.

      • Fixed a potential crash when opening old Live Sets that contained devices that have since been removed from Live.

      • AU plug-ins are now informed about silent inputs so that they can release CPU resources and report output silence if possible. This will allow any device in the device chain after the AU plug-in to release CPU resources as well.

      • Fixed an issue that caused note feedback to break when using certain Control Surface script interactions, such as repeatedly switching the note layout on Push while a MIDI clip was playing.

      • Fixed an issue that inadvertently showed blue hand icons and device locking options for particular device control features not available in some Control Surface scripts.

      • Fixed a bug that kept internal buffers of VST3 plug-ins from resetting properly. As a result of this fix, lingering signals (like reverb and delay tails) are now reset before audio export starts. Lingering signals can also be cut off quickly by clicking the Stop button three times.

      • Fixed an issue with certain VST3 plug-ins that created unwanted artifacts in rendered audio.

      • Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a Live Set with plug-in automation on the Master track, or on a Return or Group Track.

      • Live no longer hangs when opening a dropdown menu while Grammarly is running.

      • Fixed a crash that would occur when VST plug-ins requested the dedicated GPU, or when the user changed the macOS Battery "Automatic graphics switching” preference.

      • Fixed a bug that caused silence and/or hanging notes when recording MIDI notes into clips that already contained those same notes.

      • Improved high DPI support for VST3 plug-ins on Windows:
        • Plug-ins that support high DPI and IPlugViewContentScale should be the correct size.

        • Plug-ins that have their own resizing logic should not resize when the user drags the window around.

        • Plug-in windows are instantiated with the correct size in both scaled and non-scaled modes.

        • Plug-ins that support host-initiated resizing are interrogated by calling checkSizeContraint in the correct place.

        • Plug-ins that support host-initiated resizing can be maximized by double-clicking on the title bar.
      • Fixed a potential crash on Windows that occurred when closing Live right before the program tried to install default Packs.

      • Fixed an issue with various Control Surface scripts that caused clip launch button LEDs to be in an incorrect state when changing the input type of a track.

      • When using the ATOM, ATOM SQ, and FANTOM Control Surface scripts, Arm button LEDs now reflect a track’s implicit armed state.

      • Fixed an issue in the SL_MKIII Control Surface script that resulted in incorrect LED button states when exiting Drum Mode.

      • Fixed a crash when loading a corrupt Live Set containing non-unique Pointee IDs. Live now recognizes if the set is corrupt and displays a corresponding error message. Users can reach out to Support to see if their sets can be repaired.

      • Fixed a bug where context menus would close abruptly if Voice Control was enabled on System Settings on macOS.

      • Switching between Session and Arrangement View while a launched clip is playing on Push will now always display the clip as expected.

      • Previously, Live would crash when deleting an instance of Simpler from a Drum Rack pad while the Simpler's Envelopes view was visible on Push.

      • Previously, Live would crash when using the Extract Chains command on a Drum Rack chain that had automation or modulation for the Chain Send Level.

      • Fixed an issue that deselected AU plug-ins after duplicating a selected plug-in.

      • Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred when loading a plug-in that could not instantiate its presets.

      • Fixed an issue that caused Live’s menu bar to become invisible after deleting all video clips if the video window was in Full Screen Mode on macOS.

      • Fixed a crash that occurred when dragging and dropping another Live Set with Group Tracks into Session View as a new scene in certain circumstances.
    • Max for Live Bugfixes
      • Fixed a bug where adding Expression Control would create unnecessary undo steps.

      • Fixed an issue that caused Shaper MIDI to produce unnecessary Undo steps.

      • Fixed an issue that resulted in incorrect Undo values when using Align Delay in Distance mode.

    Windows 8.1. I haven't experienced crashes, but annoying CPU spikes out of almost nothing (like pressing the stop button in the transport bar), higher CPU usage, longer plugin scanning time, max for live devices not loading from projects... That's why I ended uninstalling 11 and going back to 9 and 10.

    That's because you need a more recent/powerful computer :)

    If you produce heavy projects in my experience a Macbook below 3'000 bucks is worth nothing on Ableton, I'm planning on spending 5/6k for the next one in order to be at easy in terms of CPU (loading up to 100/120 tracks per project with a lot of plugins running). I just don't like freezing it wastes my time and even sometimes changes the sound lol rubbish. Bouncing each audio track to other audios same, I mean I have no choice to do it as some point but damn it's such a waste of time, wish there was 'bounce in place' feature in Live, it's missing big time.

    What amazes me is that Live does not have a... (sorry for the pun) live mode, in which it could become more resource friendly to be used in live situations.
    Yeah, my computer is not the newest, but it runs other heavy stuff without big problems (as I said, I am experiencing cpu spikes by just pressing a button in an almost empty project lol). In live 9 and 10 things just run way more smoothly for me, so no big deal.

    Has anyone had problems opening projects from 11.2 on Windows 11? They open fine on Win 10 but when i try to open on Win 11 they kind of freeze .The places icon rotates but none of the buttons or dropdown menus work. Stop / Start does not work either and i have to use task manager to close it down. A previous saved version i keep for Ableton 10.1.42 works on both Win 10 and Win 11 but 11.2 seems not to work correctly on Win 11. Anyone any ideas? @ArticStorm could you help maybe?

    Seems it's universal not to worry reverted to 11.1.6
    Not quite sure why Ableton bother with beta testing if they release publicly such a bad update. Surly that's the whole point of beta testing? Maybe they need a wider client base for beta's?

    upgrade to windows 10, windows 8.1 is no longer supported and has major API updates.

    Live is running fine on my older notebook, lighting fast on my Ryzen7 desktop. Both run windows 10.

    I'm still getting problems opening live 10 projects in live 11.1.6 they are just frozen .They open , you can see the vst scan at the info on the bottom.The midi light flashes at the top right when a key is pressed and the places rotation is moving.The dropdown menu, play side menu and clicking on anywhere does nothing and is frozen.The projects work fine in live 10 on both win 10 and win 11but live 11 (11.1.6 , 11.2 and now 11.2.5) will not load properly. I did manage to load one project but after saving (11.1.6) it froze when i tried to reopen it. If anyone knows a solution to this please let me know .. i'm just going to have to go back to Live 10 AGAIN

    everytime i open live, or load another project, live behaves in the same way at my site. it takes 1 or 2 minutes, than its ready for accepting user interaction. most times i click into live's browser, than that screen area will become white & frozen. the rest of the computer runs fine, time for emails and such. if live refreshes its window than its ready. btw, i use 11.2.5 but the same behaviour is occuring for a long time, i got no plan since when. removing all u-he plugins helped a lot, before live took 10 minutes to start-up. but when its done, its working flawless.
    ah, and when the places wheel is spinning, i would wait til its done. otherwise the browser is unresponsive for me.

    I've found the culprit after dragging each track into a new project one by one project by project and found that on Windows 10 everything was fine for Ableton 10 and 11 but on windows 11 Ableton 10 was fine BUT Sonible SmartEQ3 was stopping projects opening in Ableton 11. It didn't matter if it was a saved preset or default . As soon as i removed all instances from the projects they opened right away. A complete PITA to have to dissect every project just to find this out.Theres no error msg and the vst loads as normal but will freeze everything on reloading.

    11.2.5 Release Notes (File time stamps: 07-10-22)
    New Features and improvements:
    • Ableton Cloud
      • Introduced Ableton Cloud, a service that sends Sets from Ableton Note directly to Live’s browser, as well as other instances of Note across various iOS devices.

      • To enable cloud functionality in Live, open Live’s Preferences, go to the Library tab, and switch the Show Cloud option to On.

      • Once enabled, a Cloud label will appear in the Places section of Live’s browser, along with a message prompting you to sign in to ableton.com. Click the Sign In button to open a web browser window, this will lead you through the activation process required to connect the service to your Ableton User Account.

      • After activating Cloud, any Sets that are uploaded to Cloud in Note will appear in Live’s browser in real-time, assuming both devices are connected to a reliable network and logged into the same Ableton User Account.

      • Various Cloud-related software texts have been added in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish.

      • For more information about Cloud and Note, please refer to the following:
    • Control Surfaces

      • Added Control Surface support for the Arturia MiniLab 3.
    Seems to introduce Ableton Cloud and stuff for Ableton Note, their iOS music app.

    11.2.10b1 Release Notes (22-11-2022)
    New features and improvements:
    • Capture MIDI
      • A sequence of Capture MIDI attempts will not be biased by the tempo of previous captured clips.

      • More material will be kept by Capture MIDI when the transport is playing.

      • When Live's transport is stopped, Capture MIDI now requires a slightly longer gap to detect new phrases.
    • Cloud in Live
      • In the Cloud tab of Live’s browser, the Date Modified column now appears as Cloud Modified.

      • The Cloud Sign In button has been expanded to fit translated texts.
    • Device Improvements
      • The Pitch MIDI effect UI has been slightly updated.

      • In Audio and MIDI Effect Racks, chains are now automatically named based on whichever devices are added.
    • Interface
      • Updated various Help View lessons.

      • Updated various software texts in English and Simplified Chinese.

      • Updated the software texts for the Electric device.

      • When viewing search results in Live’s browser, plug-ins are now organized as expected when sorting by Type.

      • The Follow button in the Control Bar is no longer hidden when selecting multiple clips in Arrangement View.
    • Max for Live
      • Updated the bundled Max build to version 8.3.3. For the changelog, visit: https://cycling74.com/forums/max-8-3-3-released

      • A new accessor in the C++, Python, and Max for Live APIs allows users to directly access the chain selector of a RackDevice in Max for Live instead of indexing into a parameter list.

      • Users can now access Live's full version string (instead of only the major, minor, and bugfix version numbers) using the Max for Live API.

      • Two new properties in the Max for Live API allow users to observe the latency of a device in either samples or milliseconds.

      • A new property in the Max for Live API allows users to observe the number of visible Macro Controls for a RackDevice.

      • Improved the sorting of output when getinfo is called on a live.object by making a Rack Chain selector a child property of RackDevice rather than a simple value property.

      • Updated the LOM documentation to correctly reflect the available values when getting a device’s type.

      • LiveAPI: A Compressor's input_routing_channel and input_routing_type are now settable.
    • Push
      • Updated some parameter names for the Reverb device on Push 2.
    • Setup
      • The Export Audio/Video dialog is now slightly larger to accommodate translated texts.

      • When exporting multiple tracks, the option to also export video at the same time is now deactivated in the Export Audio/Video dialog.
    • System Audio (macOS)
      • Introduced a Use System Device Option in the audio input/output choosers in Live’s Audio Preferences on macOS. Selecting Use System Device will set the input/output device in Live to match what is set in the macOS Sound System Preferences.

      • When the System Audio Device changes on macOS while the Use System Device setting is chosen for audio input or output, Live’s audio engine will turn off, and a dialog window will appear. The dialog window will prompt you to either accept the changes made by the system or configure Live’s audio settings on your own.
    Bugfixes
    • Live Bugfixes
      • Fixed two bugs relating to Link:
        • Fixed a bug where Live would sometimes play out of alignment with Link peers when starting playback somewhere after a time signature change.

        • Fixed a bug where Live’s playhead would move around unpredictably when jumping playback into an area with a different time signature while Link was enabled.
      • Fixed a bug that disabled file synchronization between Live's browser and secondary drive volumes on macOS.

      • Fixed a bug on macOS that would sometimes prevent Live's UI from updating (and sometimes scaling incorrectly) after connecting or disconnecting an external monitor.

      • Fixed a bug that caused the minimum parameter values of AU plug-in presets to load instead of their assigned values.

      • Fixed a bug that incorrectly cropped a warning text in Live's Audio Preferences when the text becomes too long.

      • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused .als files saved in Collections to disappear from the list when using the “Save Live Set” or “Collect All and Save” commands in the File menu.

      • Fixed a bug where Live would sometimes fail to auto-update when the application was renamed to fit the exact version number (e.g. “Ableton Live 11.2.5 Suite”), and then placed in a folder of the same name.

      • Fixed a bug where the blue modulation dot would not appear next to modulated sliders immediately after adding a modulation envelope for it.

      • Fixed a bug that would occur when dragging device chains that contain external files (e.g., LFO) into a folder that is not in the User Library. This action previously created an entirely new Project folder, even if the Collect Files on Export setting in the Library Preferences was set to “Ask” or “Never,” and the dialog box that appeared when moving the file was not configured to copy it.

      • Fixed a bug where Sets with emojis in their title would stay in the Cloud tab of Live’s browser, even after removing them from Cloud in Note.

      • Fixed a bug that caused Live to remain synced to an external MIDI clock even when the corresponding MIDI port’s Sync input was deactivated.

      • Fixed a crash that occurred when renaming samples in selected Drum Rack pads that were outside of the Rack’s displayed Pad Overview.

      • Fixed a crash on Windows occurred when using the [right-click] context menu to rename an audio/MIDI clip or locator while it was already being renamed. Now, right-clicking a clip or locator while renaming it no longer opens a context menu.

      • Fixed a crash on macOS that sometimes occurred when selecting an audio output device in Live’s Audio Preferences and disconnecting it shortly thereafter.

      • Fixed a crash that occurred when dragging a Session clip away from its original track, holding it over another track long enough to select it, and proceeding to drop it into Live’s browser.

      • Fixed an issue that caused disk overloads when using MIDI notes with randomized velocities to play Sampler presets in certain Packs (such as Session Drums Club).

      • Fixed an issue in the MackieControl and MackieControl Classic Control Surface scripts where exclusive arming wouldn't work in some cases.

      • Fixed an issue in the MackieControl and MackieControl Classic Control Surface scripts where changing a track's input type could leave Rec/Rdy LEDs in incorrect states.

      • Fixed an issue where under certain circumstances, Draw Mode in the Velocity and Chance Editor lanes did not work correctly when editing multiple clips.

      • Fixed an issue where under certain circumstances, drawing ramps in the Velocity and Chance Editor lanes when editing multiple clips did not correctly highlight affected notes.

      • Fixed an issue that caused a value range to be displayed when using the [ALT][Shift] keys to draw linear ramps in the Velocity and Chance Editor lanes instead of a fixed value.

      • Fixed an issue where drop-down menus in Live’s Preferences would disappear when the initial mouse click was released if the menu was clicked on the leftmost side.

      • Fixed an issue where clicking the empty area beneath scenes in the Master track would not select the Master track.

      • Fixed two bugs relating to emojis in Live:
        • Fixed a bug where Set names with emojis would stay in the Cloud tab of Live’s browser, even after removing them from Cloud in Note.

        • Fixed a regression on macOS where folders saved in the Places section of Live’s browser wouldn’t show any contents if the folder contained certain emojis in its name.
      • Fixed a regression on Windows where keyboard shortcuts with the copy modifier [ALT] would not work after using the [F11] shortcut to enter and exit Full Screen Mode until you pressed another key first.

      • Fixed a disk overload that would occur under rare circumstances with Sampler devices stored in Drum Racks.

      • Previously, loading an instance of the Shifter device with the Delay parameter enabled would cause timing and pitch issues during playback.

      • Previously, crashes on macOS caused by a specific VST2 plug-in would open a Help View lesson that displayed the name of the faulty plug-in along with a few common troubleshooting tips. Due to changes in macOS crash reporting, this feature has been removed.

      • Previously, video export failed when a warped video clip contained a Start or End marker before the start or after the end of the video.

      • When dragging or [Shift]-dragging a Warp Marker within a video clip, Live's Video Window now displays the video at the position of the Warp Marker.

      • Double-clicking the right edge of Live’s browser now folds the window as expected.

      • Loading older Live Sets, presets, and samples created on macOS will no longer cause Live or the Indexer to crash on Windows when the content contains a forward slash (e.g. “Clip 1/8.adg”).

      • Opening a pop-up menu with [Enter] then closing it with [ESC] now works as expected.

      • When using Capture MIDI with Reduce Latency When Monitoring enabled, the resulting MIDI clip now has the exact timing as what you played.

      • Certain UI elements of the Spectral Resonator, Spectral Time, and Limiter devices are now consistent with Live’s color palette when using the Dark Theme.

      • The Optimize Arrangement Width command (accessible via the [W] shortcut) now ignores invisible take lanes.

      • Metal rendering is now turned off for macOS 10.13 High Sierra to fix issues that arose when using Full Screen Mode. Metal rendering can be restored using the "-_MacOSForceMetalLayerOnHighSierra" debug option in the Options.txt file.

      • Packs will now be selected in Live’s browser when they are finished installing.

      • Loop start/end markers for audio clips are now properly aligned with the borders of the Push 2 display.

      • Nudging clips on linked tracks now works as expected.

      • Under certain circumstances, launching different Rack Macro Control variations would create ramps in recorded automation envelopes due to missing endpoints. These envelopes now appear as discrete automation line segments.

      • Using [Shift]-click to select clips in Arrangement View now shows the correct selection lengths in Live's Status Bar.

      • When using [Shift]-click to extend the time selection of linked tracks with take lanes, the selection is no longer extended to all lanes.

      • Main menus on Windows can be accessed in Full Screen Mode by using [ALT] + character shortcuts.
    • Max for Live Bugfixes
      • LiveAPI: A Compressor's input_routing_type now correctly returns input_routing_type instead of the input_routing_channel.
