Hot Swap Clips in Session/Arrange

Post by Electronathan » Tue Jul 21, 2009 4:23 pm

I feel like this feature should've been around since the beginning of Live. I'm also conerned I've never even figured out how to do this (so tell me if this is already possible). You can copy+drag clips, you can drop clips on top of other clips (and delete the bottom one), but why not add a simple cmd+drag to swap clips' positions?

ALSO: Clip Aliases would be hawt... :!:
I'm functioning in realtime.

Ha, I was JUST about to post this same thing. I did some MAJOR moving around of my big set yesterday, and it was driving me NUTS that I couldn't just hold down a key while I was moving a clip so that it would SWAP THE CLIPS POSITIONS, not write over the clip I was dragging to. Otherwise it takes 3 steps to do what I could do in just one. You can do it in Battery, CAN WE DO IT IN LIVE, PLEASE??? PRETTY PLEASE??

See that? Currently it takes 3 steps to do what we should be able to do in 1.

Big wish for this one.
