DAW Issues: Ableton Live

Version of Ableton Live

The latest versions of Omnisphere, Keyscape, Trilian, and Stylus RMX are 64 bit only, so you will need to use Ableton Live 9 (64 bit) or above. 

Plugin Window not Appearing in Live for Mac

3.) right click on any of the knobs or parameters in your Spectrasonics instrument (or in the Sonic Extensions Custom Controls page), select Enable Host Automation, then click on the parameter once more.
