Ableton Live 9 Mac Zoom Too Fast
Posted By admin On 12.12.20Too good to be true? Nay, I say!
Here's a summary of a very long post:
1. Go to www.AutoHotKey.com and install the program.
2. Go to www.chlorophyllworks.com/livescripts.zip and unpack the file.
3a. If you want to use the Scroll Wheel to zoom in Live, run the LiveScroll.ahk file. This allows you to hold down the Windows key and scroll zoom. There are a couple of caveats, so read below.
3b. If you want to use Alt+Z and Alt+A to zoom in and out, use the LiveZoom.ahk file. Again, read below for warnings.
4. For a slightly modified version of DJSynchro's script that allow easy toggling of the browser and the clip/track views with the Alt+1 and Alt+` keys, run LiveHotkeys.ahk.
5. DO NOT RUN 3a and 3b at the same time!
6. Scripting is fairly harmless and won't hurt your system, and if this doesn't work, just uninstall AutoHotKey from your machine. Conversely, if you like it, put shortcuts of the script files in your Startup folder.
7. Now read below for fun fun details.
I first learned about AutoHotKey today. For those of you that don't know, go to www.AutoHotKey.com immediately and download the free scripting tool for Windows for a myriad of kick-ass options!
After looking over the manual and talking with an experienced developer on their forum, I got some code that allows you to use the scroll wheel to zoom in Live. The tradeoff is that you have to use your Windows key as a modifier, and as long as the script is running, the Windows key does not. Basically, the script turns your Windows key (in between your Left Alt and your Left CTRL keys) into a Left Mouse Click.
I then tried a couple of other scripts in order to see if zooming could be made easier with key strokes, similar to Sonar. I also wanted to make sure I could zoom with just my left hand using combo keys. So I then created another script that uses Alt+Z to zoom in and Alt+A to zoom out in Arrange window, and Windows+Z to zoom in the Clip/Track view and Windows+A to zoom out. You can use the Alt zooming too, but it doesn't zoom at the cursor, which is critical for warp marker. My biggest issue was that I wanted to QUICKLY zoom in to set a warp marker and quickly zoom out without that long mouse movements. This works perfectly! Note, you have to be hovering over the clip so that the magnifying glass appears, or else your mouse will fly all over the place. So this isn't as ideal as the scroll wheel zoom for some. Also, note that this script and the one previous cannot run at the same time because both use the Windows modifier.
I wish we didn't have to resort to this kind of ghetto solution for scrolling zoom, but until the Abes give us a good solution, we're on our own with scroll zooming.

Mar 27, 2018 Alt+scroll, meanwhile, now narrows and widens the selected Arrangement View track. About time, too. Changing compiler in dev c++. Live and direct. Live 10 is a deceptively extensive update, making plenty of meaningful changes, most of them to the Arrangement View, which has long been in need of some developmental love. Ableton Live is a professional music creation suite that stands out for having two incredible work environments to produce melodies. The first one, called Arrangement View, is a traditional interface which allows you to compose using various audio tracks. Each one corresponds to an instrument.

Finally, I modified djsynchro's great script that opens and closes the browser with the ALT+1 key by being able to toggle the Clip/Track view with ALT+`. I also removed a few lines specific to the Live image, as those were causing some minor issues for me. Generally, this works for me because I only use Live on my Lap-DAW.
