Ableton Live Updates
The enhancements in Live 11.3.10 are manifold. For starters, users with Cloud features enabled will now experience a redesigned landing view when they select the Cloud label without logging in. The Core Library has undergone adjustments, particularly concerning Note Pitch Bend settings in MIDI clip presets. The ability to control ‘Drift’ through Max for Live has also been added. Furthermore, users can now find default values in Drift’s Stereo and Unison modes. To facilitate ease of use, clickable links in the Help View lessons redirect users to the online manual on Ableton’s official site. The bundled Max has also been updated to version 8.5.5.
But it’s not all about the new features; Ableton has significantly emphasized fixing bugs and refining its performance. Auto-Warp received a notable amount of attention in this domain. Issues causing Live to hang during browsing, speed lags in set loading, noise artifacts on Apple silicon computers, and UI lags during sample recordings have been addressed. Moreover, the enhanced Auto-Warp ensures more precise warping of samples created at a constant tempo.
