I am really vibing the new features in Live 12! Have you tried it already? How does it fit into your workflow? ALSO NOTE!! This video was still filmed in the Beta version!

I try about 3 days, the little strugle I had was understand and balance the pic colour channel levels if was good or not. The colour green pass to yellow, than orange to red. The channel visual is different than 11. One thing I notes is how fast I upload a dj mix to edit it! The rest is perfect, and using Roar is a Must! Until now is the most upgrade and complete version of Live and so much to discover! The best DAW EVER! I had the BETA and don´t need to use it. FULL TRUST in this Ableton guys.

I'm so unbelievably stoked. The key/tuning thing was literally my only gripe with Live. Having the option to set each instrument to a different key is cool but that's rarely what I want to do; having the overall option right there front and center is so much easier.

@DonreparD 4 ай бұрын

I installed Ableton 12 Suite and I hate it. This new VST layout and these tagging gimmicks are a step backward and seem counterintuitive (just my opinion). - Certainly will be switching back to Ableton 11.2.11- where the structure makes sense, custom themes weren't broken and Push 3 didn't ruin everything (again, just my opinion).

Yea, fairly new Ableton user here, and I would think the new Mixer Window is something that ALLOT of people thought was LONG OVERDUE! (For sure). Was one of the main reasons, I took a chance on the upgrade from Ableton 11 myself. Can't wait to install 12 and have a look at it. Keeping my fingers crossed with the upgrade though, as I was just starting to learn and get used to Ableton 11. And now I got to download a whole new DAW, after only about 5 months with the previous version. LNA is great though. Have to say, that I learned ALLOT from her videos. (The patience, and the heart and soul she puts into her video tutorials is just awesome). Nothing like it on KZfaq. God bless her...

Thank you for the video and the effort! When i try what you showed about creating new Folders in order to organize plugins Live does not show the newly added categories. When i however tried to Re-type it and hot enter again it says „cant create folder cause it already exists“. Weird stuff. I wonder if its a writing permissions thing

@JamesStMichael 2 ай бұрын

Appreciate your advise on the browser! I genuinely hate what they did by getting rid of the pre-made categories from 11 and the way the 3rd parties are no longer cleanly grouped my developer when you click on plugins. I feel it was a serious step backwards. That said, I see the potential in the new system but they seriously need to bring back the original method to compliment the simpler- less messy workflow and let the advanced new features be optional when someone is ready to use them.

@ndwknss 4 ай бұрын

Great video as always. I personally find the update to be generally overwhelming. Some cool features but still missing some that could have made it great. One feature Live needs is to be able to undock windows from the device area and move them around, resize them, etc. Max devices can already do this. I'm not sure why this isn't already a feature. The browser still leaves something to be desired, not really much different than before. I really like being able to see my devices, mixer, and piano roll on one screen. This feature is about the only thing that has really changed for my workflow, so I don't know that it was worth the $180 something to update from 11.

I don't really like the browser changes, find myself using cmd+f and searching for the specific thing I'm looking for instead of using a system that doesn't really bring anything useful for me, that being said, creating your own sections in the filter system sounds like a nice workaround... still miss the folder system because now I see stuff I don't want to see, like all the DS Drums, wish i could delete those or at least group them and hide.

With the amount of plugins I can't use this upgrade ... For me they destroyed the Dawn .... All the fancy new possibilities stand and fall with the filter system not having access to the categories... I hope they go back to Live 11 and build on the filter there expanding to the new system ... Honestly I can't believe they did this
