Notes & Pictures
Notes & Pictures is a small Max for Live device that you can use to document your recording process in Ableton Live.
You can write notes about which microphone you used and with which instrument,
and you can add pictures to capture your mic position or different hardware settings.
Everything is fully customizable:
Change the font, the text size, the background color, or the text color.
You can open the notes/pictures in a resizable floating window with a keyboard shortcut.
You can even automate it to make it appear only in a certain section of your song.
Notes & Pictures is included in the GroundControl pack, but you can now buy it separately.
