Quick Facts
Ableton released the highly anticipated 12.2 update yesterday.
Check out the full release notes linked below:
Highlight Features as follows
Auto Filter Updates
Bounce Tracks to Audio (About Time…)
Browser Improvements
Quick Tags
Custom Icons
Device Improvements
Max for Live Improvements
Arrangement View Improvements (I noticed this one immediately when opening a current project, this is a good update.)
- Per the release notes: “Track headers now display a Show/Hide Take Lanes button when more than one take has been recorded on a given track or after choosing Insert Take Lane from a track’s context menu. Note that in order to access the Show/Hide Take Lanes button, Automation Mode needs to be disabled and tracks need to be unfolded.”
I will be testing this update overall with existing sessions and my various templates in detail for the rest of the week and will follow up with any discoveries I make.
Seems stable so far! Famous last words….
