The system could be improved for sure.

Live remembers the last path where you saved a preset for EACH plugin though, so if you create a folder for each p;lugin you save presets for, it's pretty easy to manage fxp's.

There is a gain slider on all audio clips.

True, but not on/after midi clips.

I see what your saying, interesting concept, but perhaps a bit tricky to implement in a simple user-friendly way. I often find myself wishing I could adjust the volume on each clip individually though.

Have you tried using rack chains with the chain select parameter? You can effectively have each ...

OK, you have a frozen track (A). Now you move a frozen clip from this track (A) into another audio track (B). Now unfreeze the original track (A) - the frozen clip in track B is unaffected. Modify the clip in track A and refreeze it - the clip in track B does not 'update' - you now have 2 different ...

you can then drag/copy these frozen clips to an audio track and unfreeze the midi track again for further editing..

But for further editing of 1 clip you have to ...

OK thanks, you can do something almost similar with the rack chainer. The downside is that you can't freeze/unfreeze clips individually, you have to do the entire track at once. If pushing the CPU hard clip FX would offer some advantages.

But I have to say, now that I know about the rack chainer ...

Hi, as much as I love the session view, one of the frustrations I have is the inability to store FX chains with individual clips. Each new FX chain requires a whole new track. So for example if I want 3 different hihat lines - say, one standard, one with some weird delay panning FX, 1 with a ...
