Moving clips small amounts

Post by TonyReed » Mon May 18, 2020 10:06 am

How do I move clips backwards or forwards in quantities of samples? I don't want to pitch shift just move the clip.

Do you mean in a track in arrange view?
What version are you on?
In 10 you can select a clip then left/right arrow to nudge by the grid size or by variable/narrowest down to off, all of which nudges by some random amount depending on zoom level.
This and a couple of other things are so haphazard it blows my mind in 2020....what are you supposed to do to move multiple clips by an equal amount less than 1/32?? Switch to off or variable and as soon as you zoom the nudge amount changes to some random mystery number. Still no option for ticks or frames etc as existed in DAWs 20 yrs ago as far as I can see.
Sorry for the rant, I do most of my arrange/edit outside Live now....exactly because of this kind of thing.

Of course if someone can put me straight on this I will prostrate myself in gratitude and penance....
