Is it possible for AbleSet to offer the feature of turning on / off specific audio tracks in Ableton from the performance view or lyrics view on an iPad?
This has been mentioned before I’m pretty sure and I’m fairly certain I have seen Leo mention that this could be in one of the upcoming versions. Possibly 2.8.
Sounds good. Thanks.
In the meantime, you could use AbletonOSC to mute/unmute specific audio tracks via custom OSC commands, for example from your MIDI controller or Stream Deck.
AbletonOSC will listen to OSC commands on port 11000.
To mute the 10th track in your project, you could send the following command to it: 127.0.0.1:11000/live/track/set/mute 9 1, with 9 being the 0-based index of the track and 1 being the mute value, either 0 or 1. To change its volume, you’d send something like 127.0.0.1:11000/live/track/set/volume 9 0.5
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions or feedback. I’m looking forward to your reply! 
Is there an OSC command that I can map in Ableton OSC that can allow for increasing/decreasing the volume in a given track by, let’s say, 0.5db?
Would be killer to have that a tap away on a live situation, if a backing track gets to loud.
As far as I know, this isn’t possible using AbletonOSC, unfortunately.
If you wanted, you could set up a Max for Live device that listens to incoming OSC and increases or decreases the current track’s volume. That would probably be the easiest workaround.
