#ABLETON LIVE PLUG IN HOW TO#

Mac OS X: Macintosh HD:/Users//Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live x.x/.Note: If you are seeing empty device slots, you probably have to make your tracks wider for the device names to show up. That is all! Start up Live and in the lower right side of the screen you will notice a new вЂњplugвЂќ icon which allows you to show/hide device slots in the clip view. Place the fileВ in the same folder where LiveвЂ™s Preferences.cfg file is located (this folder could be hidden, see instructions below).Inside the file write вЂ-ShowDeviceSlotsвЂ™ (without the apostrophes).Create a text file called Options.txt (this has to be in plain text format).

However with a little tweak we can make it happen. Ableton have in fact created the feature to show device slots in Live but left it out for some reason. Well, one of you (thanks Martin) pointed me out to a solution. ItвЂ™s a bit annoying having to hop tracks to see what devices each one has loaded up. One of the things I have been missing in Ableton Live is the ability to see all of the devices/plugins of all of the tracks at once.
