REKALL the Ableton Live companion app (+ Max for Live device)
A couple of weeks back, I shared an experiment on batch rendering (hands-free) which was based around a Max for Live device that I created, akin to a tape recorder (that's always listening).
I've been making music for a while and I have a few hundreds of projects, which have names that are completely meaningless to me. So I sought out to create a way of always having an audio file from every project without the need for me to render anything manually. Well.. I kinda lost track of my goal and ended up creating an application to work along with the M4L device.
That's how REKALL came about. It's a companion app for organizing/managing your Ableton Live projects.
There's a free version which allows importing up to 8 projects. It's a very small app (12mb on Windows and 30mb on mac due to arm/intel support) and super fast at importing projects + scanning ALL your live sets for missing samples/plugins. I spent quite a bit of time trying to optimize the import (nerd alert), even though it only happens once. Anyways, check it out, it might help you as it has helped me.
ps: the said "batch rendering" is an experimental feature that isn't shipped with it.
