Good call. I'll try it. Thanks.

I've always been curious about this.

Let's say I have a track with a clip on it and no effects whatsoever. If I turn up the clip volume, say, 10db, and turn down the track volume an equal amount... is this a completely neutral procedure? Or am I losing fidelity - if only subtly?

Ableton's response: Hi eO, Thank you for writing back. What you mention is a key part of our philosophy. In a field full of many DAW's we realize that the foundation of Live is based on a user base who have decided to grow along with the software. If you look at the UI of our software between 2001 a...

Ok, that's a fair point.

I didn't write that. You're trolling.

I think tough love and doing what Ableton thinks is right and not just what the community wants is what makes them so great as a company. Nobody could have even dreamed of something like Push a few years back let alone request it yet they did it anyway. And in the case of features and workflow, Abl...

I actually do feel warmly towards the Ableton developers. I think the software is fantastic, and I appreciate their responsiveness. And... I think they've made a significant mistake here - both with the specific change as well as the overall principle of needlessly removing a feature. Call it tough ...

The old timers want their clip colors back!!

Thanks for checking out my soundcloud page.
I've been a fan of yours for a while. By the way, I mastered that KillUWithSex track you did with Vokab Kompany a few years back. Hot stuff.

Thanks for starting this poll, Carl. I couldn't agree more.
eO

What a horrible update to the coloring behavior. For my purposes, having all the clips in a track colored the same as the track is not useful. It's the opposite of what I want. Not only do I want the random clip color option back, but what I have wanted for a long time is the ability to select a blo...

trust me...the more you progress at mastering Live...you will start to understand why it's programmed that way and be thankful for it, the reason you are experiencing the frustration is a phase that you will go through, i remember going through that same phase....it's because you still aren't quite...

If I understand you correctly, this also explains why the concept of automated clips as presets will only go so far. You can trigger clips to change the sound, and the knobs will retain their "preset-clip-altered" setting while the automated clip is playing, but as soon as you try to recor...

I've been trying out the Multimapper32MIDI device. Nice work! I am having a few issues with it, though: 1) When I create clips to use as 'preset clips' by creating one-red-dot envelopes in each clip with "load preset" parameters. Then it works well to switch between sounds (macro knob conf...
