Yes, tested this with 4.0b12 and MacOSX 10.3, and aliases don't show up in the folder view. I second, it would be a temporary solution for rearranging material for faster lookup in a huge folder/directory structure, waiting for a better solution such as a loop database. Maybe in 4.1? --Kent

Yes, I suggest this for Ableton Live 5.0 or what the next major release is. I'm soon up to thousands of loops and even with smart folder arrangements things are getting out of control. There's need for meta information stype MP3 id tag info, song, style, when added in, and so on... I would suggest t...

Hehehe, there's always a workaround in Live! I could get this working by having the same clip in the same track, have a four beat loop in the first one, and select a longer loop in the exact same clip below. Then remember to set the quantization menu to for example four bars, and switch between the ...

Yes, Traktor (and I think similar DJ SW packages) have the option to set a loop point with arbitrary beats at a point, let it loop, and either jump to the next cue point or open up the loop and continue. The technique of setting up a loop point in a song, mix together the two clips (songs) and then ...

This is just another workaround -- I agree that seamless loading of the next set would be fine -- but you could for example use Reason as a filler between the sets, sync:ed with ReWire... --Kent

Hmm, tried to hit Enter key while browsing in both Arrangement and Session view, and could not get any clips into the views, at all. This was with 4.0b12 and MacOSX... --Kent

Well, I do now everything in 24-bit, most contemporary computers are fast enough, and there's plenty of disk space, so the additional bits are good when doing the final downsampling for CD or other production use. If you really listen carefully, you could hear the dynamics missing in 16-bit, assumin...

I didn't use the same song when testing 2.1 and 3.0, but when running 2.1 with lots of effects I could get up to 80% CPU use (dual G4 867 Mhz system), while doing something similar with the 3.0beta-x versions seldom climbed above 60% CPU use. So it felt snappier, but I don't know the details. Needle...
