CHANGELOG

Version 1.4 – 23.03.2025

Bounce Selection now works both in Live 10, 11, and 12.
You can now drop a .adg file into the device, and once it finished bouncing down the new clip it’ll load the selected device chain into the new track.
The new track created by the device will be named/colored as the source track with an additional [Bounce] in its name.
If both the Clip view and Device view were closed before engaging the device (and you don’t load a .adg file into the new track with the device) one Bounce Selection finished it’ll close the Clip/Device view.
Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the device to route audio from a wrong track if there were other tracks in the live set with the same name as the source track.
Fixed an issue that prevented the device to delete the new clips tail in some cases.
In Real time mode Bounce Selection now deletes the helper device from the new track even if you interrupt/stop the recording manually.
Small UI changes
Updated documentation.

Version 1.3 – 24.02.25.

Added Routing options for the device:
You can now select how the device should route the audio from the source track into the new clip: Pre FX, Post FX, Post Mixer.
Added Real Time Render mode option for the device:
If your source track includes external effects or instruments, you can enable this option to render the new clip in real time instead of the default offline rendering. (If you use the AHK mode on Windows, there’s a new AHK file for the RealTime rendering.)
Rearranged UI
Updated documentation.
Some small UI related fixes for the drop-boxes.

Version 1.2 – 2024.02.20.

Added another safeguard to prevent engaging the Bounce button if the track is selected where you have the Bounce Selection device.
For better compatibility: On Windows you can now choose between 4 methods the device can use to create the new Bounced audio clip:
Menu, Shortcut, Language, AHK.
For most people all of them should work just fine, but if you experience any issues you can try them to see which one works for you the best.
Updated the Documentation.

Version 1.1 – 2024.02.18.

Added a safeguard to prevent engaging the Bounce button if the Master track is selected.
Fixed an issue on Mac that prevented the device to work properly if Live’s language was other than English.

Version 1.0 – 2024.02.18.

Initial Release

INSTALLATION

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.

Place the .amxd files:

– Bounce Selection – by ElisabethHomeland.amxd

– BouncHelper.amxd

– (And the BounceHelperAHK.ahk, and BounceHelperRT-AHK files if you’re on windows.)

into your Ableton Live User Library:

Default User Library locations:

o Windows: \USERS\[USERNAME]\DOCUMENTS\ABLETON\USER LIBRARY

o Mac: MACINTOSH HD/USERS/[USERNAME]/MUSIC/ABLETON/USER LIBRARY

Allow Live time to analyze your library after adding devices. You can still drag and

drop devices from the library in the meantime.

Permissions on Mac:

• If you’re on mac: When you first try to use the device you should get a prompt like this :

If you don’t get this prompt make sure that you enable the Ableton Live, Script Editor, and Terminal apps in System Preferences under: Security&Privacy / Accessibility:

On Windows you’re good to go without enabling any permissions. : )

Drop the device into your Master/Main track.
(Or onto any track you use to store your M4L devices.)

You’ll see a little box in the device that says „Drop BounceHelper here”
Find the BounceHelper.amxd file in your user library (it came with the download)
then simply drag and drop it into this box.

Once you’ve done that the device will show you that it’s ready to use:

Important: Now you can save the device either as a preset into Live’s browser or you can simply re-save your Live Set template with the device in it, That way you can skip this setup process the next time you want to use the device.

Important: Keep the BounceHelper.amxd file in the same folder where you originally added it to the device. If you move it, the device won’t be able to find it, and you’ll need to set it up again.

Optional settings For Windows users:

For Windows users:

If you’re on Windows and you click on the Gear icon, you’ll see another button on the device with 4 Options:Menu, Shortcut, Language, AHK

With this button you can select the method the device should use to create a new rendered clip.

In most cases all of them should work just fine, and there’s no need to touch it.

But if the default Menu option doesn’t work for you, you can try the other 3 options.

bounce selection by elisabeth homeland

Here’s what they do:

Menu:
Uses automation scripts to select and execute menu points in order to create the new clip.

Shortcut:
Uses keyboard shortcuts to create the new clip.

Language:
This is a combination of the first two methods, plus it’s Language dependent.
If your Ableton Live interface is set to a different language than US-English, and you select this method
you’ll see a new List popping up where you can select the Language to match the one you’re using Live in.

Screenshot

AHK:
The AHK method will use AutoHotkey instead of PowerShell to do its thing.

Once you enabled the AHK mode drag and drop the BounceHelperAHK.ahk, and the BounceHelperRT-AHK files into the second boxes like you did with the BounceHelper.amxd file.

bounce selection by elisabeth homeland

Important: If you’re using the AHK method you’re gonna still need the BounceHelper.amxd file!

Important: In order to make the AHK method work you need to install AutoHotkey 1.1 (not the 2.0 version)
If you’re not familiar with it you can download it from here: https://www.autohotkey.com
