Drum Rack clip launching issue

[Buttkick]

Hi Guys

Im currently working my way through a push tutorial via videos.

In a particular video the instructor triggers drum sounds within a drum rack by just hitting the pads assigned, ive got that.


Further into the tutorial he then assigned a vocal sample three times to three pads in an empty drum rack. He then presses each of the 3 pads to just select the sample on that pad, no sounds plays, he then presses the same pad again to trigger the sample.

I also notice that he has to hold down the pad for the sample to play, and that it stops as soon as he releases the pad.

This is where im having the issue. I can assign the vocal sample to an empty drum rack no problem, however whenever i select a pad with the vocal sample on it, it immediately starts playing the entire sample and the only way i can stop it is by pressing the play button twice. In the video he is using just little stabs of the vocal triggered by him just pressing the pad briefly and releasing.

I cant do this, i press the pad and the entire sample (about 5 seconds) plays through in its entirity. I can of course adjust start and end position within the sample, but have i changed something in settings somewhere that means that when i click a pad the entire sample assigned to that pad plays out and i cant just play the sample until i release the pad?

Ive spent an hour in ableton trying to find something that relates to this, and im completely lost now.

Regards

change the release setting in the drum racks simpler by default it is set to 60 seconds so will play all of most samples, that should sort it for you
