This is from the manual: The locator right-click(Win) / CTRL-click(Mac) context menu’s Set Song Start Time Here command can be used to overrule the default “play starts at selection“ rule: when this command is checked, play starts at the locator.

I found out what types of actions you were referring to - turning a Pan or Send knob, for instance. I am a long time Logic Pro user, where this is the default beaviour, so it's not really an issue for me.

Wow.. I'm a long-time Logic Pro user and have recently been interested in trying out Ableton as an alternative, mostly for electronic music. However, not being able to select and manipulate multiple clips in the arrange view is such an enormous limitation, that I now feel hesitant about the whole th...

Hi! Is there some way to know if a key command is already in use in Ableton when you use Key Map Mode to assign new key commands? In many other apps you get a popup message saying "key command already in use by function X", but in Ableton it seems you can pick a key even though it is used ...
