no fix for tracks randomly unfreezing themselves in 5.0.2?

Hi sidownes,

can you please explain a bit more detailed what kind of bug or problem do you mean?

thanks and regards,

Hi Alex,

I'm not sure whether I'm currently working on any sets where this happens but in some 5.0.2 sets in the past I've frozen a track to save processor, normally with a guitar rig or operator on it, then after some more work on the set the track will unfreeze and start eating up my processor again. I haven't reported this before but thought I'd read of another user experiencing the same.

Thanks

Hi sidownes,

we did not explicitly fix such a bug within the Live 5.0.3 beta so far but it is always possible that it was a side effect of another maybe fixed bug.
So in any case it would be helpful to check if you can reproduce this in Live 5.0.3b4 too.

thanks and regards,
/Alex

Alex-

Thanks for your quick responses to all the ?'s on the 5.0.3b4 beta. Unfortunately, I am not a registered user (yet)- I'm still waiting to see if Ableton will implement more of the changes users have suggested regarding MIDI mapping certain controls.

For example, the "Select on Track" issue that was partially fixed in 5.0.2 (if the Clip View loses focus due to volume slider, etc, the clip is not selected) as well as being able to select a clip without launching it. Were these issues addressed in 5.0.3b4?

The other popular request was the ability to map the "del" key to a MIDI or key command. Has this been taken care of?

Thanks a lot!
Matt, Boston, MA

you know what, i experienced this too a few time with 5.02, but i though i was imagining things. i rarely freeze so i never paid much attention. i'll re-test again with 5.02 and the beta...

anybody knows if this fixed the random digital clipings that occurs with ableton5?

Just a quick note to say thanks to the Abe's for all their hard work on this...

Just installed 5.0.3b4 and noticing major performance gains - even at the lower latencies. I've just run a 42 channel mix (with eq, fx & unfrozen VSTi's) that in 5.0.2 would just fall over, successfully for the first time in any v5.x. at a 128 buffer. Memory and even softsynth performance also seems improved with far less crackling and glitching. Haven't had a chance to really batter the MIDI timing, and a few other issues, as yet but just for the above improvements alone would like to extend my thanks.

Excellent - very encouraging to read this thread.

I'm at work currently however I'm looking forward to applying this patch this evening.

Thank you Abletons.

Cheers

yeah apparently we had been using it incorrectly due to some inconsistencies and now when we bring these songs into 5.0.3 the follow actions don't do what they used to cause now they are "fixed" which is frustrating but I think I understand that we used to be using it wrong because they used to not work right and now they work right so the using wrong doesn't sound right? if that makes sense.

mgoulet666, get midistroke and you can map a midi note to the del key.

Voted "technical sentence of the month"

Vey excited we're heading for 5.03! Will install the Beta this afternoon & have a good tweak....
