Ableton Live 11.1 - Apple Silicon support public beta now available

[nanostream]

They work as AUs using Apple's own AudioUnit bridge, just not the VST versions because they're not native yet. Ableton does not have a VST bridge, so those Intel plugins will be invisible. Users who defaulted to AU in the past are definitely in a better spot right now when it comes to old project compatibility.

On M1 Macs only Universal or Native VST plugins will work or you can run Ableton via Rosetta and everything will work…

There seems to be a 11.1b8 specific bug, on Macs at least. Several people, including me, are reporting issues with NI plugins. Apparently there are problems with Spectrasonics and Gforce software, too. Just make sure you have a 11.1b7 backup

I love this! I hate Centercode though, it's not as bad as InMusic's forum, but it's comparable, it doesn't work with Safari's password filling feature and has lost my account after I changed the email address...

It does, but you have to decline the suggested new password and click on the key icon to auto fill with the correct one. It’s definitely strange in that way.

The problems are deeper than that, I signed up with one email address, then when I switched my Ableton account email it pretty much forced a second account to match the Ableton one, now both emails do not link, i.e. I try to reset my password and access the beta, and it does not send an email to either accounts..

Centercode is a mess, and I'm good at getting tangled into bugs in messy software...

I am testing 11.1 and my fab filter plugins do not have any presets and I can't save my own - does anyone else have this ?

not even sure that would help... you can't set the betas not to auto-update

(at least NI, Korg Gadget 2, Roland Cloud, among others all no longer output sound in 11.8, worked fine in 11.7...)

As long as your user account isn’t able to write to /Applications (or wherever), the auto update will fail.

Hope this AU issue gets a hot fix soon, instead of fixing it in 2-3 weeks within the next scheduled beta.
The topic is also hot on centercode. So they are probably already on it.

Ableton is aware... no issues with VSTs

Does anyone have an issue with au and native instruments

New Live 11 Beta 11.1b9 is out ...

Bugfixes:

In sets with a large number of scenes, Live's UI no longer lags when changing a parameter value with MIDI CC.
Fixed that certain AU instruments no longer output sound.
