Ableton Live Suite 11 v11.0.0 Rev2 macOS
Ableton has announced that Live 11 is now available at Ableton.com and at local retailers worldwide. The latest version of Live includes comping and MPE, new devices for experimentation, features for live performance, chance tools and much more.
A partial list of what’s new in Live 11 includes:
Comping:
Comping – Live organizes multiple passes of an audio or MIDI performance into individual takes. The best parts of these takes can be stitched together for the final result.
Linked-track editing – Link two or more tracks to edit their content simultaneously.
MIDI Polyphonic Expression:
MPE support – Add bends, slides and pressure for each individual note in a chord, add subtle expression variations, morph between chords and create evolving sonic textures more easily.
Expression View – Edit the pitch, slide and pressure envelopes of each note to refine the expression in your music.
MPE-capable native devices – Wavetable, Sampler and Arpeggiator are updated to support MPE.
New devices:
Hybrid Reverb – Combines convolution and algorithmic reverbs, making it possible to create any space, from accurate real-life environments to those that defy physical reality.
Spectral Resonator – Breaks the spectrum of an incoming audio signal into partials, then stretches, shifts and blurs the result by a frequency or a note in subtle or radical ways.
Spectral Time – Transforms sound into partials and feeds them into a frequency-based delay, resulting in metallic echoes, frequency-shifted and reverb-like effects.
Inspired by Nature – Six playful instruments and effects that use nature and physics as their inspiration. Made in collaboration with Dil

yah that’s true same to me
February 25, 2021 4:53 pm
greetings. It won’t let me open ableton when replacing the live file,
February 25, 2021 7:12 pm
you need to go into terminal and change the file to make executable
OPEN TERMINAL
chmod +x
…with a space at the end (and do NOT press enter yet).
Then, drag the file you want to change from the Finder and drop it on top of the Terminal window. The file path and filename should automatically fill in (and you should ensure that there’s a space between “+x” and the file path).

Hi Allen, I tried your method and Ableton 11 worked on macOS Bis Sur, thank you.
March 14, 2021 10:15 am
thanks bro

thanks for solution
February 25, 2021 7:13 pm
same … file live doesn’t work
February 26, 2021 12:22 pm
Figured it out.
Instead of drag/drop replacing “Live” — Right click the one in the Ableton folder, open with> Text Edit and highlight CMD+A to get everything, delete EVERYTHING. From there you open the “patch” one and copy EVERYTHING ..CMD+A again and paste into the text edit version of the original one where you deleted the text and then CMD+S to save and then close.
Follow the rest of the steps as normal.

I am using this app on Mac Big Sur
I followed all the steps that were mentioned in the installation guide I also converted the patch file into a terminal file, as suggested above but I am not able to access the keygen.
I tried to access the keygen using a Windows computer and used the hardware code that I extracted from the instructions to get the authorise.auz file.
I transferred the file to my Mac using a pen drive I also mailed it to myself but when I tried to drag and drop the file into the software it says that the file is invalid for this computer
how do I access the keygen on Mac?
It is the last step which is remaining I have done everything else and the app is working fine but I need the keygen to completely authorise the app.
Help me please.

Drag the file onto the authorization window that pops up on startup.
March 2, 2021 10:26 pm
You can use the free demo version of an app called Crossover to open the keygen

this is my question as well.
March 3, 2021 7:08 pm
Thank you! Works fine on m1 chip Big Sur 🙂
March 13, 2021 11:17 pm
how did you install it ? i have a air m1
March 4, 2021 11:22 pm
GENIUSES, it works perfectly on Big Sur.
Just remember to do the chmod +x on the patched Live file (like someone has explained above), and then to install the app “Crossover” to open the keygen app.
Flawless

Some of my vst (and vst3) plugins are not showing up in Ableton 11. Is this a bug in Ableton or am I doing something wrong. Because those plug-ins do show up in Ableton 10, so I know they’re installed correctly and working.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I am on a 2019 macbook pro using osx Catalina.
Cheers!
March 10, 2021 8:40 am

All works, but how do I get the extra Live packs that are supposed to be included with Live 11 suite? I was hoping to use the inspired by nature pack.

I had this problem with the error “Termination Reason: Namespace CODESIGNING, Code 0x1” and
I managed to open application after I signed it again on that machine, with the command:
codesign –force –deep –sign – /Applications/AppName.app
No other solution worked for me.
March 18, 2021 5:37 pm
This authorization file is invalid on this computer…
If anyone has any idea how I could change that? I did everything as explained before.
Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a question. When i click on the file abletonlivesuite.dmg, it asks me to install Flash player. When I click on install, nothing happens. Adobe flash player does not exist anymore (since January 2021), so I believe that could be the issue here. How can I download the file without the flash player requirement? I use the macOS Catalina. Thanks a lot

Works first time, but every time I open Ableton after that it does not work. How do I stop this?
May 1, 2021 4:45 pm
for everyone on mac BigSur or before
first you need to follow the text file until number 4
for everything to work you need:
crossover(you can get it here)
copy paste
Patching ableton:
– Open terminal type in “chmod +x” with a space at the end (with out parenthesis)
– drag and drop the “Live” document in the Patched folder and press enter, the “Live” file is now a exec
– Now right click on Ableton Live in the applications folder and click “Show Package Contents” from there go to “Contents –> MacOS”
– delete the original “Live” that is inside the MacOS folder and replace it with the one from the Patched folder that you edited.
Now you need to get the keygen working.
once you have crossover installed all:
– go to preferences and turn off automatic updates
– right click on “Ableton_KeyGen.exe” and select open with crossover
– put in any name you like( that is random and unlisted for ease)
– click install
– wait
once the keygen has opened
if you dont know your hardware code:
– open ableton
(you should see the offline authorisation screen)
– press save at the bottom right
– locate that file and copy your hardware code
– with the keygen still open paste your hardware code into the box
– save the .auz file somewhere you can find it
– find the file and either open it or drag and drop it onto ableton
you should be done after all of that
enjoy 🙂

I did all of the above and worked great the first time but now every time I open it asks me to authorize it and I get the ” this authorization file is invalid on this computer” message.
Any idea what can I do?
thanks!

Dear all,
I had the same problem: After the first time Ableton does not work.
The solution is very simple: the first time you launch the software (and it work correctly), remember to deactivate automatic updates (in Ableton preferences).
It’s all.
