No mystery. But it still would be really flipping useful to be able to use a modifier/shortcut to initiate play from a point within a clip.
I also find it annoying.
But then I find Ableton transport in Arrangement the poorest part of the software.

Re: iOS app to trigger backing track scenes?
Thanks. I ended up cue-ing to the next scene with a CC from an Ampero Control footswitch.
The four pedals are assigned to cue scene (play the current selected scene) and then the others to stop, and select scene above or below, so I can stop a song if there’s a click miscount or something and re ...

iOS app to trigger backing track scenes?
Hi. Been looking for this but I can’t find anything that isn’t over £100 and it’s a really basic functionality that I’m after.
I’d like to attach an iPhone to my mic stand and cue the next track (next scene in session view) rather than using the numeric keyboard on the laptop.
I’d like to avoid ...

change order of scenes in Session renumbers but plays in original order
Anybody come up against this?
Put a setlist of single row songs together in a scene.
So left to right I have instruments on tracks: Drums, bass, Gtr etc. Will launch on a number press from qwerty.
I've got to change the set order so I've dragged the slots to their new place, and the scene number ...

Random detuning of instruments while editing or playing in - Help!
Hi.
I've got an issue where notes that have been played in correctly with no pitch bend info (checked that) are being randomly detuned, and staying out of tune until the set is reloaded.
It's not to do with midi controllers because I've just disconnected my old Axiom after a part detuned by a ...

Preserve Arrangement playback position while editing?
This is a question from a long term user (Live 2), specific to something that used to be amazing, and now (for me) isn't.
The most frustrating thing about Ableton since V4 is that you can no longer place the Arrangement view playback cursor at, say, half way through a chorus, run transport over the ...

Re: Option to playback from same position as before editing
Ah man, I really wish Ableton would do this.
It used to work like this in Live 4 and beforehand.
Editing in arrange was so fast.
Making edit tweaks and listening with a run up is the only way to judge. And having to re-select a start point after every tweak has just put me off Ableton.

Anyone have Avid S1 and Dock working?
Hi.
I have an S1 and Dock which I use with Pro Tools. But as Live is my favourite music DAW I'd really like to get the surfaces working with it.
I know it's only Mackie emulation but at the least I'd like to be able to select channels one at a time from the Dock, and bank or nudge channels to the ...

CC info as filter trigger for external pedal?
Hi
Could anyone tell me if it's possible to create a CC rhythmic pattern that could be sent to an external unit to trigger gates or filters?
Thanks

Re: More post production functionality
Offset 1st bar to timecode.
This would allow composing to terrestrial UK TV spec, which requires 12 frames of mute picture at the head (and tail).

Please Please : ctrl + spacebar = play again!!!
In the arrange page, I am constantly tweaking things as they go past, at a zoomed in level, but then I have to zoom back out again to click on somewhere back on the timeline to hear my edits.

The thing is that it, unlike every other synth, doesn't "remember" held keys. If you hold one key down, and repeatedly play another, the pitch should alternate between those two keys. In Automat, it doesn't. This may not sound like such a big deal, but it's an essential technique when playing ...
