Follow Actions for next scene in A/B DJ setup

Post by MikeIndidginus » Mon Jun 20, 2011 1:21 pm

Hi all,

I've had a look around the forum & on Google but couldn't find an answer to my question, so.... I would like to setup follow actions to "trigger next scene" at a certain bar in an A/B DJ setup eg clip 1 playing on channel B reaches bar 32.0.0 then moves down to the next scene to play clip2 on channel B. I am using Live 7. Is this possible? If so, how? I can only see a "trigger next clip" option. If I'm a bit slow on the uptake, my apologies! Any help much appreciated :)

Michael.

There isn't a native solution to this....

Does it in Max4Live which'll be the cleanest solution (but then i would say that) alternatively you could look at looping midi back from a midi clip that you launch at the same time as your audio clip....

Oh I see. Thanks for the reply. I'm using Live 7 so Max4Live won't work I believe. I'll look into the loopback clip option you mentioned :)

Check ClypX7, maybe there's a solution for this.
