I've seen this more often referred to as ghost, linked or replica clips. Personally, I'd go with replicant! A long-standing feature request that could be very handy.

This is because of the way that Live handles clips which are actually windows showing part of what could be a much larger audio file. This allows you to scroll through and adjust the start/end markers. Something I used to do for comping. It could turn into a lengthy mess if you're trying to fit othe...

Duplicate the clip on a new track, select both for editing and you can offset to your heart's content.

Okay, at first thought this might seem to make a lot of sense, as drums don't generally follow a scale. However... I (and many others as I didn't invent the trick) use drum racks in an instrument rack to provide labels for multi-articulation instruments in Kontakt that show where the key switches ar...

If you're only interested in EQ, the Spectrum audio effect will let you see the relative balance of frequencies. As to stereo placement, I seem to remember there being plugins for that, though I can't name any off hand.

How useful tagging is completely depends on the amount of "stuff" you have. If you don't have massive amounts, there are better ways.

The most recent example of these that's been bugging me is that the program doesn't remember the previous zoom level of clips or where you were in editing them. Want to select another clip for comparison, listen to it, then pick up where you left off? Oops, you're right back at the beginning of the ...

Weird. I mistook the issue in my first message. Look for an updated driver/control panel, or reinstall if it's already the latest. You can also try audio/midi devices and try redefining the MiniFuse. Never used that interface, so I don't know the software. Good luck!

Again. The audio on most laptops is more than capable of keeping up. Maybe not fidelity wise, but certainly in performance. Check the buffer size!

Buffer under run. Increase the buffer size in Settings/Audio until this stops. If it continues, new driver or sound card. Also check for background apps that may be hogging resources.

You can do this using duplicate or cut time. Why no copy time, I can't say. But if you need to paste somewhere else, cut then paste it right back so you don't lose it, then put the insert marker where you want to put the copied time, then paste again. There may be other ways, but I'm not aware of th...

Not good. Bring it back. Companies do this so they can edit it at will, or that used to be the excuse. With print to PDF, this shouldn't be an issue.

You'll get sound from any track set to input one if you leave the track monitoring on. I often have this issue with MIDI. New tracks by default use all inputs so unless you turn them off or specify them, every track sounds. I've changed the default project so that monitoring is off and no input is s...

Search "Ableton Live Tips" on Youtube. I learned quite a bit from those.
