AWESOME!!

I'm curious what everyone's use case would be for this?

Thank you!!! I wonder if there is a way to deactivate them like Pro Tools and have a full latency bypass. Since now deactivating in Ableton acts like regular bypass but not a proper inactivation. Cand this software limitation be bypassed with the SDK?

this would be huge - pretty much my biggest pain point with Live

this and not being able to hide and inactivate tracks - though there is the bounce in place + dragging in the live browser the whole group of tracks as an als to come back to... not very elegant but works

I built a M4L device that is similar to this that displays/sorts by latency & CPU as well. Would love to add these features once they're exposed via the SDK.
Additionally I'd like to add a feature to 'Replace' & 'Replace All' - this is possible but only for native Ableton Devices and not VSTs.
I'd also like to ability to execute the extension before closing it. So we could toggle on/off different devices while keeping the extension open.

Oh this is just so cool. Yeah if there was a replace/replace all that would be such an epic way of quickly converting VST2 > VST3
one day!

Yeah, I feel that isn't too far of a stretch! Hoping for a bunch of updates soon

Also, a way to add a certain VST or group of VSTs to multiple tracks at once, like a vocal chain for example

come to think of it, is this hackable by putting the VST inside of a audio rack? it's less elegant but if it can recall full racks that would be quite swaggy

Wait, this gave me an idea. What if that replace function is actually for bouncing in place a track but right before that saving the track as .als in a newly created folder in the project folder called maybe "Comitted" or "Frozen". And this could work either for multiple tracks at once (save all into one .als but tracks bounced individually, not like how Logic for example behaves when bouncing in place multiple tracks into one file) or for a group (save the group as .als). In case you were referring to same thing I'm sorry! 😄 This gives one the option to commit to a track, lose all that added processing compute and latency but also have a backup to go back to. In a single click.

Along your idea it would also be amazing to commit a track up to a certain plugin and keep the plugins after on the track
For example commit a Melodyne plugin but keep the rest of the vocal chain

This would be epic
But then disable the printed plugins, and enable the ones not printed.

Very handy, thanks!
