24 Small Ableton Live 12 changes that make a BIG Difference!

What are your favorite Live 12 features? Anything you wish was there?

why are we acting like this isn't the worst update ableton has ever put out

DANG. im getting the update for sure after watching this video. i really hope i can turn off the momentary properties of those shortcuts though...

Very interesting but you move from one subject to another so quickly that it is very difficult to follow you. For example you could have spend one more minute to explain the new latency feature. I didn't understand how it works with your example.

This is amazing

Thanks Brian - excellent!

How's the cpu?

Definite upgrade. I hope I can get it sometime.

Loads to love but a few are like one step fwd two steps back

Great video! You’ve shown me some things that make me want to upgrade now! Thanks. 🙏🏿

Master renamed to Main. Ugh. Massive facepalm.

Good breakdown Brian. I wish it could create stems from an audio track like most dj software. EG separate vocals, bass, drums etc

did they upgrade the amount of sends you can do,or its still only 12 sends?

Just away to try out, 1st one could be done with @elisabethhomeland quality max4live tools , but good video, inspired me to fire it up. x

I hope the Push 3 will allow for more SSD storage space and CPU power in the future!

excellent

the biggest for me is the first one, the latency fix. By far the biggest, the others just cool updates

I can't believe they finally added bounce-in-place. This definitely makes arranging much faster

How is number 1 not ON by default? Or there is some catch about it? Because that latency was driving me nuts during guitar recording

WAVEFORM ZOOM FINALLY! sweet jebus, like 10 years late.

I just hope cpu usage is better than 11

dang them getting rid of key commands for the view options is a bummer. though there should be a way to route this in the mac settings if my thinking is correct. its a little janky but you basically just tell mac to use xyz key command in only that application in order to enable certain menu items which is where those controls have now moved.

Great Video Mr. Funk! Thank you! Keep Playin' that Funky Music White Boy!!

Just what I was looking for. No nonsense, no BS.

Killer…! Great video. Hey - anything new for the Push 2? Not ready to upgrade just yet…gotta buy v12 first lol

So is there a good reason to have the “keep latency” setting on ever?

200 euros from an update? hahahahahaha !!! no thanks

Bounce in Place, fucking finally.

Bounce in place is great. I hate resampling all the time and it only does it in stereo then you have to bounce it out in mono. I’m probably doing it the hard way but this is great

Cant beleive this is the first Ableton 12 video that mentions the freeze and flatten feature!!!

This as an awesome video, thanks @brianfunkmusic ! 12 looks like an amazing update, but there’s one feature you covered which (for my workflow) seems like it will be a huge drawback. Talking about Momentary Shortcuts. When I switch to automation mode or hit tab to switch views, I generally want to be there much longer than I’d want to hold the shortcut key down. Is there a command which keeps the shortcuts as Toggle instead of Momentary? Thanks!

I wasn't that excited about Live 12 until I watched this video! These are the ACTUAL changes that I will use daily that will make a solid impact on my workflow and mitigate my laziness towards making certain creative decisions. So many of the other videos out there highlight these strange new features like midi generation that I find to be completely useless. THANK YOU.

I love Live but I'm seriously wondering why under any circumstance you would crave latency. Glad it's out now but honestly kinda ridiculous that this is a new feature. Great video!

Fantasic Vid! One of my long requested features came true, having Return presets. I like ALLOT of different verbs, so being able to reach for one with my preferred settings is a boon. Also, thank you for all the little things that are not front and center, it's really nice to see all the little things.

These adjustments are great and all, I just wish it didn't require us to pay near $200 for an update that could've been pushed....

And here I am, just hoping Ableton implements a decibel readout while moving the fader so I don't have to look in the bottom left corner to see the adjustment eyeroll

Great vid mate! It's really refreshing to see somebody actually talking day to day about what its actually going to be available in Live 12. There's a LOT of hate going round which helps nobody.
I noticed on the similar sound feature, the browser only shows .adv files or .adg files. Is that due to the metadata contained on proprietary files allows for this but .wavs etc won't potentially hold the requisite information or is it an algorithm that scans the timbre of the sound, and you have filtered the file type?
Just curious

Awesome video, can’t wait to get stuck in! … waiting to get access but no emails yet 😢😂

Have they added a trim silence function?

It's pretty funny that this new version has "Humanize" which is to add a degree of sloppiness. I think there's an insult in there some where! 🤣

Just saw the keep latency switch and that is the thing i needed the most for live tracking!!!

I remember one of the devs aggressively defending Master against the suggestion to change it on Centercode. I wonder what changed.

Brilliant video Brian 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Cool observation re bounce in place. How does the time taken for this single action compare to that taken for freeze + flatten in Live 11 on your machine?

Thank you !!

Outstanding. One thing I admire is Brian Funk's calm. Ableton is complicated and new, unfamiliar features, more so. The fact that he seems to understand (everything) is for me, a plus. It means I can get there, too.

Some good features, some 'meh,' and some bad moves - Master Channel is fine, how is changing the name to 'main' of use to anyone? Don't like the new BPM scheme - though for years I was used to typing in the BPM manually, so no real harm/foul. The latency feature is great.

Since we look at .wav forms ALL DAY in Ableton, this simple request - which should be free - may seem superflous to some, not me. Improve the appearance of the waves. I have a DJ friend and am envious of the gorgeous, inspiring appearance of the wave forms in Tractor. Since waves are our 'currency' we may as well look at something attractive and inspiring.

Thanks, none of the other commentary has mentioned any of these great features. You've swayed me towards the upgrade!

I liked being able to see bpm and time signature on each track in the arr view. Hopefully that comes back as an option.

man the public beta taking forever. longer than 11 or 10..
