Mixer

Control your key tracks live, with dB metering.

Pro+ The Mixer gives you live volume, mute and solo on the Ableton tracks that matter — with dB metering — without leaving the setlist view. Open it with the MIXER button or Ctrl + M; press either again to close it.

Faders, mute/solo and live dB metering.

Picking your tracks

The Mixer shows only the tracks you choose, in numbered slots:

• MAIN — Ableton's master output — is always pinned in the first slot. It can't be removed or replaced.
• Tap the + (empty slot) button to open the track picker and add any track from your Live Set.
• Tap an existing strip's name to replace it with a different track, or use its remove button to drop it from the Mixer. The track itself is untouched in Ableton.
• Add as many slots as you need — most bands keep it to the handful of faders they actually ride live (click, tracks, talkback…).

Faders & metering

• Each strip has a fader, a mute and a solo button, mirrored live with Ableton — move a fader in Live and the strip follows, and vice versa.
• The fader handle shows the current level in dB, and each strip has a VU meter behind it so you can see signal at a glance.
• In portrait (phone held upright) strips are shown as vertical faders side by side; in landscape (or on a wide desktop window) they become horizontal strips stacked top to bottom.

Staying oriented

The NOW → NEXT section header stays visible inside the Mixer, so you always know where you are in the song while you're riding faders. Jump buttons on the transport keep working too.
