8.4 Release Notes

Improvements and feature changes
· Live 8.4 introduces native 64-bit support. The 64-bit version of Live allows the use of more than 4 gigabytes of RAM. This means that Live users can now work with Live Sets (including Sets using third-party plug-ins and ReWire configurations) that are much larger and more memory intensive than in the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version of Live works with PCs running Windows Vista/7/8 (64-bit) and with Intel-Macs running OS X 10.5 and up. For more information, please refer to our knowledge base: (https://www.ableton.com/articles/what-are-limitations-64-bit-version-live/).
· Improved the authorization dialog when launching Live as a Trial version.
· Improved automatic updates.
· The word size of the Live application is now shown in the splash screen.
· Live is now showing the email address of the currently authorized user account in the "About" window.

Bugfixes
· Live would not respond to time signature changes from a ReWire master.
· Fixed a bug which could prevent VST plugins stored in the OS X system library folder to show up in Live's browser.
· Fixed a bug in the 32-bit version, which could cause problems when resizing 32-Bit-Cocoa plugins.
· Under certain conditions, the playback position in audio clips was incorrect after changing clip start markers in unwarped clips and then re-enabling 'warp' (regression from 8.2.7).
· Deactivating a playing clip and then reactivating it would leave the clip in an incorrect state. The clip would look as if it is playing, although it was actually stopped.
· Fixed a problem with the Max for Live engine, which would cause Live to freeze when setting an audio buffer size smaller than 21 samples.
· Live parameters would no longer update correctly after deleting a Max for Live device which was mapped to that parameter via live.remote~.
· Mappings from Max devices to VST plugin parameters could get lost after saving an instrument rack preset and then reloading it.
· Fixed a graphical glitch in the Session- / Arrangement View amoeba after toggling views (mixer, crossfader, etc.).
· The Session View selection frame of the APC40 or Launchpad could get stuck after deleting scenes or undoing the creation of scenes.
· Under certain conditions, Live could hang when decoding MP3 files (Win only).
· Fixed a bug which could cause a "memory corruption error".
· Fixed a memory leak which could occur when previewing audio files in the Browser, using the "Complex" warp mode.
· Live could freeze when successively sending Program Change messages to a VST or AU plug-in (Mac OS X only).
· Live could freeze when using the "Insert Time" or "Insert Silence" commands.
· Live would crash when deleting a clip while recording.
· Live would crash when saving an Audio Effect Rack containing devices with certain side-chain routings.
· Live would crash when dropping MIDI Effect Rack presets onto Drum Rack pads or an Instrument Rack chain.
· Live would crash when changing the sample rate for audio interfaces with dynamically changing channel configurations (Mac OS X only).
· Live would crash when using the copy / paste time commands inside a group track.
· Live could crash under certain conditions when importing extremely long MP3 files into Live (several hours long files).
· Live could crash under certain conditions when deleting a VST plug-in from a drum rack's return chain.
· Live could crash under certain conditions when recording time signature changes.
· Live could crash under certain conditions when triggering scenes containing time signature changes.
· Live could crash under certain conditions when switching through rack chains (e.g. with the "Auto" select function) whilst renaming a device inside the chain.
· 3 other rare crashes have been fixed.

Harrison Mixbus 2.1 (Windows/MacOSX)

Harrison Mixbus 2.1 (Windows/MacOSX) | 51/53.6 MB
Mixbus™ is a full-featured Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) with "True Analog Mixing"™: a combination of Harrison's world-renowned sound and features in an affordable, knob-per-function interface. Mixbus provides professional-level features to import or record an unlimited number of audio tracks to your computer, edit them, and mix them together. You can use Mixbus to record your band, mix a record, make a podcast, or edit the audio for your video.

Mixbus sounds better. Other DAW mixers are designed by companies with experience in computer sound, but no pedigree in world-class recording facilities. The Mixbus mixer is designed by Harrison: the maker of consoles used in the world's most demanding music, film, and live performance facilities. Harrison consoles are known for their great-sounding EQ, filters, dynamics, and bus summing. If you find a music recording from the golden age of albums - the 70s and 80s - that has stood the test of time, it is likely that a Harrison console was used during the production. With the Harrison sound and a logical knob-per-function mixer interface, Mixbus invites you to produce recordings that will stand with the best.

Mixbus is open. Mixbus is largely open-source and is the collaborative effort of a worldwide team including musicians, programmers, and professional recording engineers. Many workstations provide "open" control or plugin protocols... Mixbus goes far beyond that. Like a good piece of vintage hardware, you can open the box and look inside. This transparency encourages Mixbus development to happen with integrity. We spend our time on the issues that users want and need; not just items that look good in an advertisement. In the crazy world of DAW software, it is nice to know that a sane option exists for your business or personal use.

Mixbus is ultra-compatible. Mixbus works on all 3 popular desktop operating systems, and uses industry-standard I/O and plugin formats such as VST. You can collaborate with anyone, regardless of which platform they use.

D16 Group Redoptor 1.3.1 (Windows/MACOSX)

D16 Group Redoptor 1.3.1 | 7.5 MB
Redoptor is a high quality Vintage Tube Distortion emulator. The popularity of tube distortion units are as a result of their superiority over the solid-state fuzz distortions which are based on transistor clipper circuits. Tubes produce even and odd harmonics and naturally compress the signal. Transistors produce only odd harmonics and limit the sound.

In ordinary fuzz, when a signal goes over the threshold level it goes through the clipper circuit. As the signal volume falls back below the threshold (as the sound reaches its release stage), the harmonics added by clipping suddenly disappear. If the volume of a signal oscillates above and below the threshold, the clipping harmonics will appear and disappear with the signal level. This sounds unnatural and is unpleasant to listen to.

This does not happen in Redoptor. As the sound source falls in volume in its release phase, the harmonics (which were created by the sound being initially above the clipper threshold), gently disappear with the original sound. This creates a sonically pleasing distortion.

Exact circuit emulation
Redoptor has an adjustable tube bias parameter. This allows subtle amplification of even harmonics and gentle transient reshaping in the signal. Similarly, like a hardware tube distortion, Redoptor reacts dynamically to each change in the amplitude of the input signal. As a result, the amplitude of even harmonics is not constant in time.

Redoptor has a precisely modeled tube distortion module. The emulation doesn't just focus on the characteristics of the tube part of the circuit - it also models the rest of the circuits co-functioning with the tube within the distortion unit to capture all the subtleties and dynamics of proper high-quality analogue tube distortion.

Completely adjustable preamp
In a typical guitar amplifier, the preamp is usually fixed. In Redoptor it is not. Redoptor allows the cut-off point for low and high tones to be set before the signal is amplified.

Parametric EQ
Redoptor has a full parametric equaliser with 4 controllable bands. Most typical amplifiers have a fixed graphical equaliser, with 3 or 4 bands and only allow gain of the signal in each band.

Independent stereo channel processing
Redoptor is a fully functioning stereo tube distortion with an independent path for each channel in the stereo signal. This allows each channel to have completely different harmonics and distortion added to it. Try doing this with synth sounds – the timbre will sound much more defined.

Features:

* Exact tube and tube's circuits emulation.
* Crossfade between tube and transistor distortion.
* Adjustable power of new harmonics.
* Tunable preamp filters.
* Fully equipped parametric equaliser.
* Presets organised into groups.
* MIDI learn function.
* 64-bit internal processing.
* Multi-mode distortion's quality adjustment.
