Ableton Live has a strong reputation for being one of the industry’s leading Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) for creating or recording musical ideas, transforming them into finished songs, and even performing live on the stage. Amidst Live’s most powerful and useful functionality is some amazing hidden features. In this guide, we show you how to unlock Live’s hidden features and highlight a few of our favorite secret functions.
The Options.txt Guide
Tucked away deep in Ableton Live’s directory on both MAC and PC is an Options.txt file that you can create or edit to access Live’s hidden features. The Options.txt file offers a way to change some of Live’s options for special circumstances. These options are mainly used for developing and internal testing. However, some of you may find them useful as well.
To get started, create a text file called “Options.txt” and save it to the same folder where Live’s Preferences.cfg file is located. The file format of the Options.txt must be plain text. Below is where to find the Preferences folder on MAC and PC (Live 6.0.9 or higher):
Mac OS X
/Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live x.x.x/
Windows XP
Documents and Settings[username]Application DataAbletonLive x.x.xPreferences
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
Users[username]AppDataRoamingAbletonLive x.x.xPreferences
Several functions can be activated in the Options.txt file. Editing this file is very simple; on separate lines, the syntax for each option begins with a hyphen and sometimes will also require an additional underscore. If you use the wrong syntax, you will get an error message when opening Live. If there is a function you wish to deactivate, place “/” before the syntax. You will also need to restart Live to activate the function.
Syntax Example: -_PluginAutoPopulateThreshold=-1
There are dozens of syntaxes that can be discovered across the Internet. For Ableton Live’s supported functions refer to their Options.txt file page here.
Five Favorite Functions
Below are five of our favorite hidden features that are extremely helpful. In addition, we have included a FREE download of the Options.txt file used to unlock the following features.
Show Device Slots
Enabling this feature allows you to view all the devices on each track from the mixer in the Session View. This feature is an efficient way to quickly activate and deactivate devices without having to open the Device View and searching through your device chain.
To enable, add the following into Options.txt: -ShowDeviceSlots
Map To Siblings
This feature is by far one of the greatest time-savers and should be implemented permanently. Similar to “Copy Value to Siblings,” this addition gives you the option to Macro Map a parameter across all of the same device instances in Drum Rack to the same Macro. This feature is accessed through the right-click context menu and eliminates the time needed to map each parameter individually.
To enable, add the following into Options.txt: -EnableMapToSiblings=1
Options: 0=Off, 1=On
Arm On Selection
This feature will automatically Arm any track when selected. This addition may be useful for those working with external instruments in live performances or even in the studio. However, it can be a pain to deal with sometimes.
To enable, add the following into Options.txt: -EnableArmOnSelection
Thinning Aggressiveness
This feature is another great time-saver when recording automation data. Depending on a pre-defined value, Live will smooth out all the breakpoints automatically after recording automation if you want more consistent automation lines. Alternatively, if you wish to remove breakpoints, you can hold down Shift while dragging to eliminate breakpoints as you wipe over them.
The default value is = 0.45
Higher value = More breakpoints eliminated
To enable, add the following into Options.txt: ThinningAggressiveness=0.80
Thinning Aggressiveness Off
Thinning Aggressiveness On
Plugin Auto Populate Threshold
This feature automatically populates the parameter list for any plugin you load. Located on the Device Title Bar is an “Unfolded Device Parameters” that reveals a panel where you can add useful parameters that can be adjusted without accessing the plugin. You can manually add available parameters by clicking the “Configure Mode” button, accessing the plugins GUI and selecting the parameter you wish to add. To save time, this feature allows you to auto populate the panel with a set value of available parameters.
Default = 32
Min = 1
Max = 128
“-1″ will always populate the list with max. 128 parameters, regardless how many parameters the plugin has.
To enable, add the following into Options.txt: -_PluginAutoPopulateThreshold=32

Ableton Live Crashes On Startup Macbook
Improvements and feature changes
* Improvements to Amp presets including better folder organization, additional guitar and bass amp presets and various other changes.
* Improvements to sound quality in Drum Machines.
* Performance optimizations on many Rack presets.
* Many delay devices now use the 'Fade' Delay Transition mode, to avoid clicks.
* All Latin Percussion sounds are additionally available as chromatically tuned Simpler presets.
Bugfixes
* Amp is now available in the trial version of Ableton Suite.
* Removed duplicate Amp presets.
* Fixed Hot-Swap behavior for a number of Session Drums and Drum Machines presets.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the use of soundcards with only one input on OS X.
* Fixed a crash that occurred when using a ReWire slave such as Reason and manipulating devices in the slave that were referred to by clips in Live.
8.2 Release Notes
Improvements and feature changes
* Support for The Bridge, our collaborative project with Serato. The Bridge is free for users of Live/Suite 8. More info about The Bridge
* Amp, an audio effect that models guitar amps and cabinets. Amp is free for Suite users. More info about Amp
* Some changes were made to the Help Pages regarding how to report a crash and how to contact support. When restarting Live after a crash, Live produces a file named 'Ableton Crash Report... .alp', whereas choosing 'Get Support..' in Live's Help menu produces a file named 'Ableton Status Report... .alp'.
Bugfixes
* Improved compatibility for Antares Harmony VST. Now the plugin works in Stereo mode only when inserted in a track, while previously its 5 channels were active in such a case.
* Fixed a bug that could prevent Live from deleting temporary Projects.
* Fixed a rare crash that could occur with a combination of control surface selected in the Preferences, Ableton devices moved from track to track, and then tracks moved to different positions.
* Fixed a crash that could occur after undoing the move of a track containing a clip into a group track, which occurred with a specific state of the Live Set.
* Fixed a crash that could occur when entering mapping mode while a Max for Live device was in the clipboard.
* Fixed a crash that occurred after triggering a 'stop slot' and recording outside the punch region.
* Fixed a crash happening after pressing Del (return to default) after editing the volume of at least two Rack chains at once.
* Fixed a crash that would happen while Live is slaved, and opening a Live Set containing a MIDI clip ready to Overdub, which would try to be triggered when loading the Set, before the undo history is ready.
* Fixed a bug that would create corrupt documents if the user uses 'Save a Copy' but overwrites the original Live Set, then tries to restore that Set after a crash. Now, overwriting the current Set using 'Save a Copy' does the same thing as 'Save'.
* Fixed a crash that occurred while remotely changing scenes while editing some clip property.
* Core Audio driver is now listening for external sample rate changes, on the Mac.
* Fixed a crash that could occur after undoing the pasting of an Instrument into an empty MIDI track. The crash could happen in other ways too, but that's the easiest to describe.
* In some cases Live could crash when loading a document that overcomes limitation (like a Live set containing Operator on a computer where Operator is not unlocked).
* Fixed a crash caused by a rounding error, causing some memory corruption
* It was previously not possible to map a track group slot when the group track was unfolded, because the selection spreads over the whole local scene. Now the selection changes upon entering map mode, or when existing it, allowing to map the slot, and restoring the correct selection when done.
* Fixed a crash that happened when moving a Max for Live device containing a 'getpath' object to another track.
* Live could hang changing clip parameters while jumping in the song while recording.
* On some systems, Live is able to create Live packs that exceed 2 Gb, but could not read them. This is fixed by upgrading our packing Libraries.
* Fixed a crash that happened in rare cases (revealed by using The Bridge, but it is not directly related to it) when trying to insert a first warp marker in an audio recording.
* Fixed a crash happening when some MIDI targets where not available anymore but called. For example, it happened when having 2 MIDI clip selected in Session view, in a track containing at least a device, and then flattening the track.
* Fixed a crash happening when rebuilding the set from the Undo history, related to 3rd devices.
* Fixed a crash that occurred when trying to open a certain kind of corrupt document
* Disabled editing the value of a VST plug-in parameter via the computer keyboard (only in the Ableton view of the plugin, not in the plugin's own interface). The VST specification doesn't allow Live to set the value correctly.
* Fixed a crash that happened on a Mac whenever the number of channels for the opened audio interface would change. For example, changing the sample rate for some devices would implicitly change the number of inputs and/or outputs.
* Fixed the drawing of notes while recording a MIDI clip in the Arrangement view.
* Fixed many issues that caused memory corruption when using Complex Pro. A bug that made 192Khz files sound distorted when stretched with Complex Pro has also been corrected.
* Fixed the display of looped MIDI clips in the Arrangement, which was a regression due to a fix that made MIDI notes draw correctly while recording (viewtopic.php?f=25&t=149012)
* Fixed a crash that could occur when uninstalling a Live Pack and making the Library unavailable, by unplugging the external drive it is on, for example.
* Fixed a crash that happened when using 'dead keys' in message boxes, like pressing 'z' when the 'Do you want to save this Live set' dialog box was displayed.
* Fixed a crash which was triggered by moving a fader or knob on a MIDI controller while in MIDI learn mode, and quitting Live at the same time.
* Fixed a crash happening when having an incoming MIDI mapped message that would reach Live while loading a document. This had to do with the Undo history not yet being created, while the incoming message needed to access it.
* Fixed Japanese text input. It was not possible to rename tracks with Japanese characters, for example.
