The missing features that turn Ableton Live into a fully featured DAW.
LiveToolbox is a macOS add-on that gives Ableton Live 12 the workflow it should have shipped with — 95+ editing, transport, clip and session actions behind any key combo, system-wide and persistent across every Set. Built for anyone coming from Logic, Pro Tools, Studio One or the discontinued Live Enhancement Suite.
This thing speeds up my Ableton workflow like crazy.
