I think the best bet would be to use a midi remote script. You could set up a bunch of physical knobs to automap to a selected track or selected device, pickup style

Launchpad FTW

I love how people who understand less are down voting us, homie. Everything working for you now though?

If you use MIDI overdub and add notes, they get added to the piano roll. I think it kinda is a bug, but it's been like that a while for sure

WDYM "no folder?"

I find it hard to believe there is no backup something somewhere honestly. Even if your folder structure is bad or all kinds of messy, it should make backups

I realize this is a bunch to read through, but follow this, and it WILL help.

What is it you're trying to do? Elongate something or change BPM or what?

I don't see why you would have an issue loading a vst3 on an older project, unless also using like a super old version of Ableton.

Older projects for sure would have had to use serum one. I'm guessing the VST is not loading when you open the project, because either.... The serum VST doesn't exist, or isn't found in one of the folders it's looking. Do you have default locations enabled? What about custom locations? Do you know where the dll actually lives?

There is a workaround for not having ARA. If you start vocalign and then freeze the track, you can unfreeze immediately, and it will have the timing applied

I run into this from time to time, which seemed to be new in 12, for me at least. But it is hard to pin down the cause or the issue exactly, to get a report in. My workarounds are just restarting Ableton, and if that doesn't work, basically dragging everything from the existing set into a new one. Sometimes I have nothing but flattened audio tracks, and I still run into this. Restarting usually helps, but if not, the other thing is pretty much foolproof.

Whoa. Ideally, how many is enough?

Guessing you do not have MaxForLive added separately. True?

That was quick! Kudos!

I hate when they do the 2nd installation due to the file path being wrong lol.

Yeah, I think you're spot on. My best idea for this would be to start backing up the push midi remote script, using the user folder.

And of course, I would rename it so that when you're selecting the control surface in Ableton, it's easier to distinguish.

Yeah I can't really speak about the push, because I don't have one, but I personally have to backup my midi remote scripts every time I do an update.

This is because I make my own and install them in the default folder though

I would bet it's the midi remote script. It comes bundled in the installation. It lives in the Ableton folder under program data.

Yes!

If you want to but and it's not on sale, I HIGHLY recommend Knobcloud. 👌

I have noticed, especially when my CPU is doing other things, bigger folders or parent folders with lots of subfolders and additional files, like it can get hung up, so it might be worth searching for the file name yourself. If you can find the file using explorer instead, you should be able to just drag it over the right panel showing the missing sample. If you can't find it at all, but it was an Ableton sample, it could be something from a pack, possibly. There might be existing files or an easier way to just install the pack rather than doing the full install again

Reading over this on the GitHub page, and I'm loving the way you implemented the idea. Super solid work. BIGGEST OF KUDOS to you. I can't wait to try this out! 💖🔥

So from the AI song, if you're able to export the different tracks soloed, it's going to work easiest.

And like the others have said, right click, convert to MIDI.

And I say to use solo tracks rather than the full song because if you convert the whole song to MIDI, from one file, you will probably get a few wrong notes in the mix, and it will just be a lot more to clean up, and separate out.

So but take the soloed tracks and just pick instruments from Ableton, basically. Of course, if you can't find the sound you're looking for, check into vsts or Max for live devices. There's a lot of free stuff that sounds good.

From there, it's really just about ensuring the arrangement is the same, and picking the right instruments or" voices" for all that midi.

One more note, actually. One of the reasons I wanted to go into detail and explain this is because you are importing samples, and when warping is originally off or the grid or BPM recognition is just so messed up, like further warping will always be worse. But I think if you go about it this way, because the clip BPM and everything was "imported" correctly when it got consolidated, any further warping using repitch or beats or complex will sound better.

And when doing it this way, I don't end up with the markers on the clip. 🤓
