Play in Session but not arrangement

Post by remedydub » Sat Oct 08, 2011 11:49 am

Hi there how do I get these green arrow indicated clips to play in session view WITHOUT the arrangement view to play at the same time? I cant seem to deactivate the arrangement view.

Cheers

Err how to I upload an image here?

for each track, between the volume fader and the clips, is a little square button that stops the clip. (enable the tooltips in the left bottom corner of the screen). click this button for each track you want to stop playing. there's also a "stop all clips" button on the right side. stop the clips you dont want to play, start the clips you do want.

its a little weird at first, navigating the session/arrangement windows.

it's impossible. as far as i know.

the timeline will start if a clip is playing no matter what. what this means is whatever is in arrangment is "recorded" into the time which means it's playing through that "period of time".

if you play a clip on a track that already has something inside of it in the arrangement view, only the clip firing in session view will play until you hit the "back to arrangement" button.


for looping clips:
not sure if this is redundant but are you sure you have the "loop" button selected in the clip view of that particular clip you want to loop? Also note, you can't loop a clip in session view unless it's warped.
