Gainstage Snapshots
Gainstage Snapshots is a maxforlive device that allows you to take a snapshot of every track in your project / Live set in Ableton Live.
You can store their volume, and panning, and then recall it later.
It’s really useful when you mix a track and you want to try out different static mixes with different balance.
Additionally you can reset all your track’s panning and volume with one click.
