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 XP)
Pref switcher for 8.0.4 on Windows XP

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
