Re: Slice volumes are lower than original track

I think you can create a new Slicing Preset for that.

Re: software midi randomizer with note step locking?

Lots of step sequencers w/ randomization can disable/gate steps, for example MDD Snake or many K-Teck ones.

And you can use Velocity in Gate mode to filter out low velocity notes from sequencers that have steps for velocity.

You can automate/modulate MIDI FX and even MIDI Effect Rack Chains to ...

Re: select vertical column of clips in arragnement view

Simply holding Shit+Up/Down from the top or bottom can work many times.

Cltr+L (set Loop Braces) > Ctrl+Shift+L (Select Loop Brace Contents).

Also grouping and Link Tracks can help with that too.

Re: Better Warping like Logic 'Smart Tempo" ?

Seems your complaint is more about automatic Audio Quantization rather than automatic Warping.

By your description seems Logic and DJ software may auto-quantize as part of their Warp-equivalent functions.

But in Live, Warping and Quantization are separate things.

Live can auto-warp loaded audio ...

Re: Simpler with a Speed Knob

Workaround:

You can load a file as an Audio Clip (usually in Session View), warp it in any way you want, then drag and drop the warped Clip into Simple, it will retain the warping.

For example, if you warp an vocal phrase, "squishing" some parts and stretching others, then drag the Clips into ...

Re: metronome issues

Probably not this, but worth mentioning I guess:

There is Enable Only While Recording setting for the metronome in the Metronome Settings menu that you can access via the pull-down switch (little triangle pointing down) next to the metronome, or by opening the context menu for the metronome itself ...

Re: Sampler & Drum Sampler introduce unreported latency into the signal path

1- I repeated the "How to reproduce" 6 steps from OP's 1st post, it nulled as expected here. Doing step 7 breaks the null (as expected).

Re: Sampler & Drum Sampler introduce unreported latency into the signal path

I believe the main reason the null breaks is due to the Snap setting being enabled in Simpler, but not in Sampler (in OP's "Issue Project").

Seems OP is unaware Live now has a device called Drum Sampler (separate from Sampler and Simpler)?

BTW Drum Sampler does null with Simpler, if Snap is ...

Re: Export directly from Session view

Freeze>Flatten or Bounce.

May want to use Crop.

May want to Ctrl+Z right after (or not overwrite when saving), if using destructive options like Freeze and Bounce in Place.

There is a doubler effect as part of the Phaser-Flanger device (its 3rd mode), and there a few doubler presets in the Core Library.

Re: HELP! Clip follow actions and scene actions to be in sync?

Scene Follow Actions don't work in completely empty Scenes, a Scene has to have at least one Clip in some Track for it to work, maybe that's your problem.

Re: Arrangement view - how to prevent auto creation of time signature changes?

If you are editing TIME then that's expected, but just moving Clips should not cause that (AFAIK).
