Undo History!

No, not a revolutionary time-travelling call to arms...just that I fucked up a mix by accidentally deleting a track, then saving the Live project.

I can't remember how to get further into the undo history to go back tho?

Help?

Looks like it can't be done. I can't see any way of stepping back through different stages of a Live set beyond the first save of that particular version. Is that right?

I mean, I know the samples are there, but it's a drum track made up from loads of individual hits...and I didn't consolidate!

One of the most stupid inventions of Live, that the undo history gets deleted when you save a project. I mean, I could to some extend understand, if it got deleted when you close a project, but 'when you save' just makes no sense at all.

Workaround is to always use "Save a copy as...", and only at the end of a day save the project regularily.

A proper undo history window would be very wecome, too.

"Save As" is a pain, but it works.

I know - I normally always 'save as'...just took my eye off the ball there. Damn.
Damn!

with save as you can loose stuff if you have to revert back to a previous copy.
