That's brilliant Adam! Can you do one with a picture of a bottle of beer? I'm thirsty. A sandwich would be nice too...

You see the play and stop buttons. The step before that, you still see a bit of the clip (reducing goes step by step)
is that a 5 feature, or can i minimize in 4?
It's a live5 feature

can you increase or decrease the width of each track any amount that you want?
or is it set increments, like every 1/2" or something?
I always hated on 4.0 not being about to make every track/area of live the exact size that I wanted.

you can decrease to 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 the default track size is what you see in the picture.
you can also increase too.

no, because i'm using all the width of the screen. the width of the window does not change in fullscreen. only the height.
however, fullscreen will give you another 3 scenes vertically. but its always been this way.

I-O = In/Out
s = sends
r = returns
m = monitor
... = track delay
x = crossfader
