Content master/slave clips

Post by HiHat » Thu Apr 22, 2010 1:25 pm

I think this has been mentioned before, but a major workflow improvement to an already astounding workflow system would be:

Mark clips in the session view as 'content masters' and then when copying to other slots or the arrangement view, all copies will be slaves of the master data. That way you could make a big arrangement, and eg. if you want to change one beat in a part you change the master clip and then all copies will update straight away without having to recreate that part of the arrangement.

So when working mainly in arrangement view, the session view becomes a store of all your master parts/clips and the arrangement becomes mainly a non-destructive arrangement of these parts.

Will save so much time!

Cheers

Yes, it has been requested many times before, and is in my opinion the single most important feature that is missing in Live.

I'm puzzled why it hasn't been in Live since version 1.. :)

cheers, Morten
