OK so this video was MASSIVE, but it is a MASSIVE update. My fav features have been timestamped with *FAV* so you can skip through if you'd like. :) What are your favourite new features and updates?

Thanks so much for this video. I love how in depth you go through the whole changelog and the examples you show for most of them. I’ll be returning your channel frequently from now on! Your video included a couple of things that I glossed over in my deep dive of the patch notes - MIDI Tool chains is especially neat! One of the more intriguing changes I didn’t really pay attention to at first is the global groove that’s applied to any new clips. Functionally, this feels like the successor to the project-wide Swing amount that was removed many versions ago when grooves were added - a change that some people have been mourning for a long time. Now you can just up the groove amount and hotswap the groove within the groove pool to apply different swing settings to every clip in your project! Very interesting change and hopefully the change the Swing enjoyers have been looking for!

Thanks for the detailed and honest video, no overhype and honest thoughts, which I really like. My fav updates: keyboard automation, it was annoying to right click, edit value to type in whatever value you want, this little update is really handy. Auto Shift is great (was looking for a formant shifter). And finally, one of my favorite modulation devices, Envelope Follower and the side chain option.

For starters I love the polyphonic midi control in Auto Shift and the FX section in Drum Sampler. I can also do granular and fm synthesis there now! First impression on the negative side is that some of the new midi editing tools seem a bit far fetched. Sometimes less can be more, but maybe I'll find a good use eventually.,

I´d love to have the option to automatically loop a cropped clip. The amount of time i manually have to hit the loop button after i cropped something is insane. Why isn´t there just a setting for that in the settings.
@matttinklermusic 2 күн бұрын
This would be an awesome option! If you use the crop clip option in the clip view though rather than the arrangement view you can just use the loop key command (cmd/ctrl+L) to engage the loop option rather than clicking the loop button. This is even easier with the new 'crop clip' key command, cmd/ctrl+shift+J. :D
@vinx98 2 күн бұрын
why would you use mid side routing on a limiter?
@matttinklermusic 2 күн бұрын
This is a great question! By using M/S routing you can apply limiting to the signals mide and side channels separately. What this means is that if the signals 'mid' channel exceeds the ceiling of the limiter, then only that 'mid' channel will be limited and the side channels will remain untouched. Vice versa for the side channels. Otherwise, in a standard stereo limiter, if the 'mid' channel exceeds the threshold, then the 'side' channel will be limited also, even if it doesn't exceed the ceiling. In short, it can allow for more transparent limiting on certain material. :)

@thelolmighty 3 күн бұрын
@@eliastristan1831 The beta and release versions of Ableton run separately, so if you downloaded and installed the beta, but opened up your release version, you'll still only be opening up your release version. You'll have to open up the beta from wherever you installed it. Also, I think the beta only gives access to features available in your release version of 12, so if you don't have Suite, you might not have all of the new features that are Suite-only. Many of these are for all versions, though, so as long as you're opening up the Live 12.1(?) beta version, you should have access to them.
