Someone was looking for an easy way to switch Ableton Live Preferences.cfg files for multiple midi configurations, so I was bored and decided to make it happen… It’s fairly simple to setup, just carefully follow the instructions.

Ableton live Preferences Switcher for 8.0.4 (Windows)
http://www.shuutobi.com/stuff/prefSwitcher8.0.4.zip

Update:
Pref switcher for 8.0.8 on Windows XP
Pref switcher for 8.0.8 on Windows 7

The gist of the script…

echo 1. Use Preferences A
echo 2. Use Preferences B
echo 3. Exit
echo;
set /p choice=Press enter after input:
if %choice%==3 goto end
if %choice%==2 goto PREFSB
if %choice%==1 goto PREFSA

REFSA
cls
xcopy Preferencesa.cfg "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Ableton\Live 8.0.4\Preferences\Preferences.cfg"
goto LIVE

REFSB
cls
xcopy Preferencesb.cfg "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Ableton\Live 8.0.4\Preferences\Preferences.cfg"
goto LIVE

:LIVE
"C:\Program Files\Ableton\Live 8.0.4\Program\Live 8.0.4.exe"
exit
