How do you copy samples between two live sets?

Post by håkan bråkan » Thu Nov 17, 2005 12:42 am

In the artist section about coldcut I read that they paste samples between live compositions, but it doesn't work for me. I assumed I had to start two live sessions, and then copy and paste between them, but with no success. It would be really nice to be able to do this...

Ctrl c (copy) Ctrl v (paste).... If in doubt use the menu bar in Live i believe the commands are under Edit?

Maybe I've missed something here, but I mean to copy things between two live sets. Which live version was the first to support this feature?

in Live5 you can import from another set directly. in the browser find the ALS file for the set you wish to import FROM and click the lil tree expansion menu next to it to see all the tracks and clips in that project, then simply drag and drop from the browser.

Other option is to save clips as a LiveClip. Then they are accessible with their corresponding effects from your Library.
