Working and perfect match to render

Awesome device. It works great when you follow the manual. (Windows Ableton 12.0)
I just did a full test to see if the bounce render is identical to export and freeze and flatten. When flipping the phase 180° the output was 0 so a perfect match and not track delay issues. This was done with plugins that cause heavy track delay and use oversampling. So well done !!

Awesome!!!!! Major Ableton fix !

Works like a charm. I needed some help setting up. But I got an almost instant reply. Now everything works. It's important to put the device in the main channel. I was discussing the lack of partial render options in Ableton with a lot of producers who switched to bitwig and j was contemplating myself but this saves me from learning a new daw. And hours of freeze and flatten time. Thank you soooo much. Keep up the amazing work.

Amazing bounce in place

Works perfectly. Bouncing groups is amazing and worked with nested groups. Bouncing with one button is a real joy

Um Sorry What !!! 😃

Did Nandi just revolutionize the ableton workflow once again?

Yeah I'm pretty sure he did.

Instant buy!

Using the device is pretty simple:
After you’re done with the setup, just map the “Bounce” button to a Keyboard or MIDI shortcut. Then create a time selection in your Live set for a track you wish to bounce down, and press your shortcut to create a new track with the bounced down audio clip:

The same thing works with folder/group tracks, Just make sure that the group track is collapsed otherwise the time selection will select the first track of the group.

Behavior Options:

If you click on the Gear icon you can change a few things about the device’s behavior:

You can decide how it should route the audio from the source track for the new clip:
Pre FX, Post FX, or Post fader.

And if you Enable the “Real Time” option the device will use real time rendering to create the new clip, instead of the default faster offline rendering.
Use this option if you used external effects or instruments on the source track you want to bounce down.

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 setting 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.

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.

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.

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:

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.
