Feature Request - Live MTC offset save to session

Hi there,
Ableton’s lack of MTC output is a real problem for composers, like me, who use Pro Tools as our video engine and separate DAW as a sequencer/composing DAW. I’d love to use Live MTC to output MTC from Ableton (my ideal DAW of choice) to Pro Tools, but I would need to be able to save offset in each session. For example, I would need to be able to open up the session for “cue #31” and have the MTC already match up with 00:54:10:21 in Pro Tools, an offset that I would have saved to the session itself. As is, I have to use Logic Pro - which allows you to save MTC offset to each session. Is there any way this feature can be added to LiveMTC?

Hi DLR, sorry for the late reply, the notification of your post didn’t come through for some reason.

An offset that can be saved in a Live set is definitely on the list for LiveMTC. Is that what you mean, i.e. do you want to save a single offset per Ableton Live song/set?

Best,
Mattijs

To any reader: this feature is now implemented in LiveMTC 1.0
